The dolmen of Carrascal (Sintra, Portugal) was discoveredat the end of the 19th century. The human bones housedin the Museu dos Servicos Geologicos (Lisbon) were re-analysedin the scope of a research program that is investigatingthe past lifeways of Late Neolithic populations from thecentral and southern regions of Portugal. Recent fieldworkunder the scope of the Recovery and Valorisation project ofthe monument undertaken by the Sintra Municipality allowedconstructional aspects of the tomb to be clarified, and therecovery of further osteological and archaeological remains.The radiocarbon dates obtained from the human bones enableus to assign this monument to an initial phase of thefunerary practices associated with megalithic monumentalityin Western Iberia. The assemblage comprised a minimumof 9 adults (both sexes) and 5 non-adults. Evidence of infectiousdisease, degenerative and metabolic changes, and aremodelled trepanation performed on a right parietal bonewere noted. The dental remains yielded particularly interestinginformation regarding non-masticatory use of teeth, inform of chips and notches in anterior teeth. The data werecompared with other collections exhumed from coeval tombsto obtain insights into the health status and behaviours ofthese prehistoric populations.
