ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The work presented here describes the methodology used for the recording of the megalithic art (painting and engravings) preserved in the Dolmen of Dombate (Cabana de Bergantiños, A Coruña). This recording is linked to the plans for the construction of a permanent canopy over the mound (built in 2010), which raised the need to undertake direct interventions inside the chamber, especially on the paintings. Therefore, it became essential to obtain an accurate recording of the preserved art, to verify the current condition of the paintings, as well as to assess any possible damages and alterations throughout the implementation phase of the project and the processes involved in conservation and restoration activities.
