The Son Ferrer archaeological site presents a series of successive occupations spanning a long period of time. At the beginning of the Iron Age (c. 850 BC), a staggered turriform structure was built for a ritual purpose over an artificial hypogeum which had already been used as a collective necropolis during the Early Bronze Age (c. 1800-1500 BC). Later, in the post-Talayotic phase (Second Iron Age, 550-123 BC), the hypogeum was again reused as a collective burial place. The present work is focused on the chronological and functional analysis of this last phase, which began c. 500 BC and ended c. 180 BC, with the saturation and sealing of the hypogeum. The excavation process revealed that significant removal of archaeological material has occurred as a result of complex funerary space management practices which generated a secondary archaeological context. Given this situation, and in order to establish the different use phases of the post-Talayotic necropolis, a dual strategy of excavation and research was implemented. Firstly, we obtained an extensive series of radiocarbon dates on human remains (18 datings), that were later analysed following Bayesian strategies and, secondly, we carried out a detailed spatial analysis, geo-referencing the location of all the archaeological finds. This strategy allowed the reconstruction of the space management processes and movement patterns which took place in the burial space. Despite initial difficulties, the combination of these research strategies embedded in a contextual analysis provided both material and chronological references that have contributed to define the various use phases of the hypogeum.
