Road to encounters
Although thousands of prehistoric standing stones have been recorded across Iberia, the lack of associated detailed contextual data allows ongoing debate about their possible functions. Following the chance discovery of a ‘diademated’ stela in 2018, excavations at Las Capellanías (Cañaveral de León, Huelva), in south-west Spain, led to the discovery of two more stelae and facilitated the compilation of vital contextual information. Here, the auth…
From bone chemistry to human demography
First-ever multi-method approach to Iberian Copper Age society, including standard bioarchaeological approach, amelogenin peptide analysis, stable strontium analysis, aDNA and total mercury analysis. • Based on a sample of 126 well-dated and well-contextualized individuals from the Valencina Copper Age mega-site. • Discussion of results included burial rites and gestures, sex and age demographics, pathologies, mobility, biological kinship, ancest…
Fresh insights into sex-specific mobility in Copper Age Perdigões (Reguengos de Monsaraz, Portugal) provided by amelogenin peptide analysis
Sex estimation based on amelogenin peptides in dental enamel has opened up possibilities to study prehistoric demography in a new light. The application of this technique is of particular importance for the analysis of prehistoric collective burials, where the commingled and disarticulated nature of human remains makes sex estimations challenging. This paper presents data on the sex of 35 individuals from the Late Neolithic-Chalcolithic site of P…
Rituals of Fire in the 3rd Millennium BC
This paper presents the context of secondary depositions of cremated and non-cremated human remains in the ditch/atrium of the Carrascal 2 site, which is an integral part of the extensive archaeological complex of Porto Torrão in Ferreira do Alentejo (Beja). The discussion will include its placement within the surrounding funerary contexts, absolute chronology, bioanthropological data regarding a minimum number of 25 individuals, part of which cr…
In the bosom of the Earth
Antequera in southern Spain is widely recognised as an outstanding example of the European megalithic phenomenon. One of its most remarkable features is the evident relationship between conspicuous natural formations and human-built monuments. Here, the authors report the results of their investigation of a tomb newly discovered at the site of Piedras Blancas at the foot of La Peña de los Enamorados, a limestone massif that dominates the Antequer…
The “Ferradeira” individual burial of Herdade do Álamo (Beja)
The individual burial of the Herdade do Álamo, located in Beja municipality, South Portugal, is presented along with its bioanthropological study, radiocarbon dating and isotopic approaches on diet and mobility. The results show a male, with a terrestrial diet and youth mobility, dating from the last quarter of the 3rd millennium BC. The archaeometallurgical study of the metal votive assemblage (one tongue dagger and three Palmela points) indicat…
Beyond faith
Objectives During the Middle Ages, Portugal witnessed unprecedented socioeconomic and religious changes under transitioning religious political rule. The implications of changing ruling powers for urban food systems and individual diets in medieval Portugal is poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the dietary impact of the Islamic and Christian conquests. Materials and Methods Radiocarbon dating, peptide mass fingerprinting (ZooMS) and…
Anthropomorphic Figurines at Perdigões Enclosure
This paper focusses on a set of anthropomorphic figurines. It suggests that realistic human proportion and canonical body posture were pursued in the carving of these objects as a means of expressing ideology, in a context of diversified forms of manipulation of bodies in funerary practices. It is argued that, against a background of predominantly schematic art, the more realistic and canonical anthropomorphic representation of the human body was…
