Description

The dolmen is under "La Pastora" mound at Valencina de la Concepción.[2] It is a 43-metre long gallery, made with drystone walls and roofed with slabs of limestone and granite.[2] The passage terminates in a circular funeral chamber with a diameter of 2.5 metres, roofed with a single granite capstone.[2] The passage is orientated towards the sunset, unlike other similar tombs in the region which tend to face towards sunrise.[2]

Excavations in the slope of the tumulus in 1860 yielded 27 copper arrow heads of the "javelin type".[3]

gollark: Then, you just move it a little bit toward lower loss (gradient descent).
gollark: You have a big thing of settable parameters determining how you go from input to output. And if you know what the result *should* be (on training data), then as the maths is all "differentiable", you can differentiate it and get the gradient of loss wrt. all the parameters.
gollark: Well, you put your data into something something linear algebra and something something gradient descent, and answers come out.
gollark: I see. This might be one of the ones which can't boot from those, or you just beeized slightly.
