Abstract:

In 1961, Guillem Rosselló Bordoy carried out the first and only archaeological excavation in the Bronze Age funerary hypogea assemblage of Son Sunyer, one of the largest in the municipality of Palma. Other eminent researchers, such as Wilfred J. Hemp, Josep Mascaró Pasarius and Cristòfol Veny, had dealt with it before and later, although the recovered materials have never been fully studied, nor has any intervention been done on the site, entirely covered by vegetation, until now. As a result of these works, the remains have resurfaced once again and a topography and a photogrammetry have been obtained. The archaeological materials collected also provide new information.
