Soapstone necklace recreated with some of the 669 beads that appeared in the dolmen of Puig Roig, also called the Moors Cemetery (Torrent, Baix Empordà), dated in the late Neolithic-Chalcolithic, between 3300-2200 BC.
The Moors Cemetery is a passage covered with mound, a collective grave that contained between 100 and 130 bodies, which has yielded the most abundant archaeological materials associated with a megalith in the Girona region.
