Macrolithic tools are linked to daily activities and, fundamentally, to settlements, hence their importance for the study of Late Prehistoric societies. However, these objects are also associated with funerary contexts, but have not often been analysed holistically. This paper studies an assemblage of macrolithic elements from three collective tombs from the third millennium cal. bc at the site of La Orden-Seminario (Huelva, Spain), from a theoretical and methodological perspective based on the biography of the object. Our analysis focuses on typology, raw materials, technology, function and burial context. The results show that the tools can be linked to domestic activities such as the grinding of cereals and the processing of plant materials, as well as for the production and maintenance of the elements used in these activities. The analysed objects display long biographies of use and, in some cases, we have documented intentional breakage for their deposition in the tombs. The patterns of deposition in the funerary contexts reflect social practices related to the ritual and symbolic behaviours surrounding death and the relationship with everyday objects.

巨石器工具与日常活动有关，从根本上来说，与聚落有关，因此它们对于研究史前晚期社会具有重要意义。然而，这些物品也与丧葬环境相关，但通常没有被全面分析。本文研究了来自第三个千年的三个集体坟墓的大型石器元素的组合。公元前在 La Orden-Seminario（西班牙韦尔瓦）遗址，从基于对象传记的理论和方法论角度来看。我们的分析重点是类型、原材料、技术、功能和埋葬环境。结果表明，这些工具可以与谷物研磨和植物材料加工等家庭活动以及这些活动中使用的元素的生产和维护联系起来。分析的物品显示了很长的使用传记，在某些情况下，我们记录了它们在坟墓中沉积时的故意破坏。丧葬环境中的沉积模式反映了与死亡相关的仪式和象征行为以及与日常物品的关系相关的社会实践。
