The paper illustrates the first occupation phases of the ritual and funerary site of Saint-Martin-de-Corléans (Aosta, Italy) based on the reassessment of data from a new season of research carried out between 2007 and 2017. In particular, this contribution focuses on the description and interpretation of the Dolmen TII context, a monumental tomb featuring a complex sequence of ritual and funerary actions that took place from the Chalcolithic to the Early Bronze Age (ca. 2900-1800 BC cal.). The study of the funerary context has also been considered through a comparative analysis with dolmens of the Petit-Chasseur necropolis (Sion, Valais, Switzerland) due to the close analogies that exist between the two sites.

Abstract
The paper illustrates the first occupation phases of the ritual and funerary site of Saint-Martin-de-Corléans (Aosta, Italy) based on the reassessment of data from a new season of research carried out between 2007 and 2017. In particular, this contribution focuses on the description and interpretation of the Dolmen TII context, a monumental tomb featuring a complex sequence of ritual and funerary actions that took place from the Chalcolithic to the Early Bronze Age (ca. 2900-1800 BC cal.). The study of the funerary context has also been considered through a comparative analysis with dolmens of the Petit-Chasseur necropolis (Sion, Valais, Switzerland) due to the close analogies that exist between the two sites.
