Abstract
We have been able to confirm that animals were sacrificed by studying cut marks on animals buried inside La Alberquilla Structural Complex 7, during the last third of IV Millennium B.C. The proliferation of burial rituals of people and animals between the second half of the IV Millennium BC and the end of the III Millennium BC is linked to the ability of wealth mobilization, which sometimes is not easily reproduced. In this way progressive social differentiation can occasionally be shown in the Late Prehistory societies, as an alternative to ritual commensality feasts.
