Simple Summary
This paper presents the zooarchaeological and taphonomic analyses of the bone remains recovered during fourteen field campaigns. The Castillejo del Bonete site constitutes a massive tumular and astronomic monument from the Bronze Age located on the southern edge of the Southern Plateau in the village of Terrinches, Ciudad Real, Spain. The faunal remains study reveals the importance of caprines as offerings to the deceased with symbolic character and occasional rituals, which was suggested by the sporadic consumption identified in some of the analyzed bones.
