Man Buried Under a Hearth and 'Trampled' For Magic Ritual
For roughly 3,700 years, anyone crossing the great hall of La Almoloya in south-eastern Spain walked over a man. His lower body lay beneath a hearth, his face sat barely a centimeter below the floor, and a large stone had been jammed between his teeth. His excavators called him “the enemy” and read the burial as punishment. A study in ‘Ilu. Revista de Ciencias de las Religiones, reported by Archaeology News Online Magazine, now argues it was a magical ritual to hold down the forces of chaos he embodied.
Sealed Between Two Floors of a Palace Hall
The skeleton, catalogued as AY5, was found in Room H9 of Residential Complex 1 at La Almoloya, the Argaric settlement at Pliego in Murcia. Its excavators from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona call it one of the earliest palaces in western Europe. The layer dates to 1750–1550 BC, the third phase of El Argar, a Bronze Age society that dominated south-eastern Iberia for six centuries.
AY5 was about 40 years old, stood around 1.63 meters tall, and his bones carry no markers of heavy physical labor. Other Argaric dead were buried beneath the floors of houses with their possessions, most famously in Tomb 38, where a man and a woman were laid with the richest grave goods ever found in El Argar, among them a silver diadem still on the woman’s skull. AY5 received nothing: he was laid between two floor levels, and the lower floor was cut and reshaped to fit his body, so the burial was deliberate and laborious.
