Abstract
El Argar (Antas, Almería) is the main reference site for the study of the Bronze Age in the Iberian Peninsula. The burial assemblages of more than 1000 excavated tombs show the social diversity of the interred. This article analyses the spatial distribution of the burials, considering the multiple variables of the funerary ritual in relation to their location. The aim is to try to understand whether socioeconomic patterns can explain their location. For this, based on the documentation from the Siret Archive, we have been able to situate a considerable number of graves on the plateau that forms the site and we have considered the variability of funerary containers, the burial assemblages and the physical characteristics of the interred. Statistical significance tests do not show a relation between sex, age and location, but they indicate one between rich grave assemblages and spatial distribution, which cluster in a particular area of the site.
