The graves at Mondújar (Lecrín) and the Nécropolis de Torna Alta in Granada belong to communities living in the turbulent aftermath of the Nasrid kingdom's fall (1492 CE). Archaeological data indicates continued use of Islamic funerary spaces and material culture into the 16th century, reflecting cultural persistence under new political realities.
Limited evidence suggests these burials preserve a community that navigated shifting identities: outwardly Christianized in law yet maintaining local traditions. The landscape — terraced fields, olive groves, and watchful hills — framed a way of life shaped by centuries of Mediterranean exchange. Ceramic assemblages and burial orientation hint at continuity with earlier Nasrid practices, but the archaeological record remains fragmentary. Given only eight genetic samples, any reconstruction of population origins is provisional, and archaeological signals must be read alongside documentary silence and later upheavals.
