Naveta Biniac is a prehistoric necropolis on the Balearic island of Menorca, Spain, comprising a complex of navetas—megalithic chamber tombs unique to this island [1]. Built during the Bronze Age between 4500 and 3000 BC, these structures served exclusively as funerary monuments for collective burials, distinct from residential navetas [1]. The complex reflects the burial practices of Pre-Talayotic communities and represents one of the earliest forms of monumental architecture in the western Mediterranean [1].
