Our aim is to fully understand the Colos site based on archaeographical data and then insert it into a broader, comprehensive context. What makes this case particularly interesting and noteworthy is its lack of visibility in the landscape, situated next to a natural rock outcrop, which is in contrast to the megalithic practice of the time. We wonder if this invisibility and absolute lack of reference to its physical space has some social and cultural connection with a particular agro-pastoral community or if, instead, it is anomalous.

This funerary monument is an hypogea dug in a hillock of a pour quality granite. Culturally it is part of the Megalithic period, chronologically covering the Final Neolithic and the Chalcolithic. The lithic assemblage found in Colos has a very important symbolic value; in the hoard there are big lithic artefacts made in exotic raw material. Which means they were produced by specialized artisans and the exotic character of the raw-material used induce to hypothesize the presence of long-range commerce. The study of the use-wear traces of this lithic assemblage could clarify the funerary rituals and practices. The main queston of this paper is: these artefacts were prepared only to offer the deceased, or they were used on daily life tasks? In our opinion the use-wear analysis of the lithic assemblage allow to deduce that the lithic assemblage were made and in s...
