La Cova del Cantal (Biar, Alicante) es, fundamentalmente, una cueva de enterramiento múltiple de un momento posiblemente avanzado del Calcolítico Pleno. Fue utilizada también en el Horizonte Campaniforme de Transición y en la Edad del Bronce, encontrando restos de ocupaciones posteriores. Parte de los materiales estudiados pertenece a dos colecciones privadas, siendo el resto de la excavación de urgencia por nosotros realizada. El ajuar está compuesto principalmente por formas cerámicas, puntas de flecha de sílex, hachas y azuelas pulimentadas y por un anillo, un puñal de lengüeta y cuatro punzones de metal. En ella se inhumaron al menos nueve individuos que corresponden en su mayoría al momento Calcolítico.The "Cova del Cantal" is a múltiple burial cave from the late Calcolithic, although it was also visited during the Bell-Beaker Period, the Bronze Age and later. The studied materials belong to two prívate collections and to a rescue excavation made by the authors. They are principally varied pottery, silex arrowheads, pulimented axes and adzes, a ring, a tongue-dagger and four metallic punches. At least nine individuáis were buried, most of them in the Calcolithic Period.
