“…While statistical analyses suggest a high probability that the 230 new locations correspond to previously unknown burial mounds, the surface survey found that, out of 25 predicted burial mounds in the sample areas, at least nine of them correspond to partially destroyed megalithic graves, possibly after the first archaeological interventions therefore, 83 new burial mounds could be present in the entire study area. This prediction would increase the number of preserved dolmens in the area from 151 (Cabrero et al, 2021) to 234-close to the estimates from old catalogues (Spanedda et al, 2014). Not only has it improved the accuracy of identifying previously documented archaeological structures, it has also reduced the ratio of false positives (Berganzo-Besga et al, 2021;Davis et al, 2021;Trier et al, 2021;Verschoof-van der Vaart et al, 2020).…”
