  • The supply of copper to the settlement of Leceia (Portugal) and the Estremadura region during the third millennium BC

    Open AccessPedro Valério, João Luís Cardoso et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2026

    The Chalcolithic settlement of Leceia (Portugal) has one of the largest collections of copper artefacts and metallurgical debris in the Portuguese Estremadura. However, the absence of ores and smelting remains suggests that local metallurgical operations were related to the production of artefacts. In fact, the metal assemblage includes several fragments of flat axes, most of them with traces of sectioning, which may have been used as ingots. In …

  • A provenance study on indigenous and Phoenician bronzes

    Open AccessStella S Gomes, Pedro Valério et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2026

    The diachronic evolution of the Early Iron Age copper-based metallurgy in southern Portugal is behind the research now carried out with the aim of determining the copper provenance in bronzes from two partially coeval settlements. Castro dos Ratinhos shows a metallurgy of Late Bronze Age indigenous tradition, while Quinta do Almaraz with a strong Phoenician influence, presents a more evolved technology, apparently affiliated with regions borderin…

  • The conversion into calendar dates of radiocarbon ages of marine organisms collected on the coastal waters of the Canary Islands. The new Marine20 calibration curve

    Open AccessAntónio Monge Soares, António M Monge Soares et al.ARTICLECuadernos de Prehistoria y…2025

    Recently, a new calibration curve for marine radiocarbon dates (Marine20) has been published. Since the modelling carried out for its setting up, as well as the database used, are different from those utilised for the previous curves (Marine04, Marine09, Marine13), it becomes necessary to calculate new values of the marine reservoir effect (ΔR20) for the oceanic region under study. This work precisely presents the reliable ΔR20 values for the coa…

  • Non-invasive analysis of faience necklace beads and scarabs from Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age necropolises in southern Portugal

    Open AccessAntónio Monge Soares, António Pereira Gonçalves et al.ARTICLETrabajos de Prehistoria2025Referencias: 18

    In this work, non-invasive techniques (XRD and microPIXE) were used to study 14 necklace beads associated with human inhumations from the Late Bronze Age (10th-9th century BC) hypogea of Monte da Ramada 1 (Aljustrel), from the Early Iron Age (7th-6th century BC) necropolises of Palhais (Beja), Montinhos 6 (Serpa) and Corte Margarida (Aljustrel), and a blue bead from the Orientalising settlement (8th century BC) of Quinta do Almaraz (Almada). Two …

  • O Horizonte de Ferradeira – ainda valerá a pena

    Open AccessAntónio Monge Soares, António Manuel Monge SoaresARTICLEOphiussa Revista do Centro de…2024

    No início dos anos 1970, Schubart define e caracteriza uma entidade arqueográfica, o “Horizonte de Ferradeira”, na qual pretende agregar a escasssa realidade arqueológica conhecida, na altura, para o período compreendido entre o Calcolítico Pleno e a Idade do Bronze no Sul do território português. A evolução posteriormente ocorrida no conhecimento arqueológico para todo este período, quer nos seus aspectos de ordem cultural, quer no domínio crono…

  • Characterization of Chalcolithic Ceramics from the Lisbon Region, Portugal

    Open AccessRute Correia Chaves, João P Veiga et al.ARTICLEHeritage2022Referencias: 1

    The Chalcolithic period in the Lisbon region, Portugal, is usually divided into three phases chronologically: the Early Chalcolithic, characterized by cylindrical corrugated cups, Full Chalcolithic by so-called acacia-leaf decoration, and Late Chalcolithic by Bell Beaker pottery. The aim of this research is to determine if Chalcolithic ceramic raw materials and production techniques have remained the same over time and whether the pottery is loca…

  • O concheiro do Lisandro (Mafra, Lisboa, Portugal)

    Open AccessAna Catarina Sousa, Marta Miranda et al.ARTICLESPAL Revista de Prehistoria y…2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 4

    O presente artigo efectua uma primeira apresentação do concheiro neolítico do Lisandro (Mafra, Lisboa, Portugal), numa abordagem interdisciplinar. Identificado em 2017 e objecto de uma escavação de emergência em 2018, Lisandro apresenta um depósito conquífero entre dunas, evidenciando uma ocupação exclusivamente relacionada com o consumo de fauna malacológica (bivalves e gastrópodes) datada do 3o quartel do 5o milénio a.n.e. Trata-se de um sítio …

  • Faunal Remains manipulation during the Chalcolithic in Pits 13, 16 and 54 from Monte das Cabeceiras 2 (Beja, Southern Portugal)

    Open AccessN J Almeida, Ana Catarina Basílio et al.ARTICLEZephyrvs2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 13

    The Chalcolithic time is a period widely debated in Southwestern Iberia Late Prehistory. During the last few decades, the number of contexts known has grown, especially with the discovery and publication of several ditched enclosures from Southern Portugal. To contribute to ongoing discussions, three Chalcolithic pits –13, 16, 54– from the Complex of ditched enclosures of Monte das Monte das Cabeceiras 2, in Beja, were analysed from a zooarchaeol…

  • Botones de cachalote con perforación en V de Galeria da Cisterna (Sistema Kárstico de Almonda, Torres Novas, Portugal)

    Open AccessJoão Zilhão, António Monge Soares et al.ARTICLETrabajos de Prehistoria2022Referencias: 15

    La excavación de la necrópolis prehistórica de Galeria da Cisterna (1988-1989) recuperó los restos de varios individuos. La datación de cuatro de ellos demuestra que la cavidad fue usada con fines funerarios en época campaniforme. No se ha encontrado ningún fragmento de la característica cerámica del periodo, pero un pequeño fragmento de espiral en oro y un conjunto de botones con perforación en V justifican la asignación cultural del contexto. S…

  • The materialization of an iconography

    Open AccessJoão Carlos Senna-Martinez, Elsa Luís et al.ARTICLEOphiussa Revista do Centro de…2022

    A metallic artefact recorded in a LBA/EIA context in Northern Portugal, which can be one of the first known material representations of the so-called Southwestern Bronze Age “anchoriform” or “anchor idol”, is presented. The artefact comes from an intrusive LBA/EIA context into a MBA level at the hilltop settlement of Fraga dos Corvos (Macedo de Cavaleiros, Bragança, Northern Portugal). It is made of a ternary bronze alloy (Cu-Sn-Pb), consequently…

    El reciente descubrimiento y excavación arqueológica de dos estructuras funerarias ubicadas en Horta do Pinheiro 5 (sur de Portugal) arrojan una nueva luz sobre los primeros momentos del Bronce Medio del suroeste. Estas estructuras, una fosa y un hipogeo, ambas asociadas con otra fosa, han permitido profundizar en el conocimiento de los rituales funerarios practicados en esa época. Las ofrendas funerarias recogidas en ambas estructuras destacan p…

  • Last Interglacial Iberian Neandertals as fisher-hunter-gatherers

    Fruits of the sea The origins of marine resource consumption by humans have been much debated. Zilhão et al. present evidence that, in Atlantic Iberia's coastal settings, Middle Paleolithic Neanderthals exploited marine resources at a scale on par with the modern human–associated Middle Stone Age of southern Africa (see the Perspective by Will). Excavations at the Figueira Brava site on Portugal's Atlantic coast reveal shell middens rich in the r…

  • Early Imports in the Late Bronze Age of South‐Western Iberia

    Open AccessPedro Valério, Maria Fátima Araújo et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2018Citada por: 3Referencias: 18

    The composition and manufacture of Late Bronze Age metallic artefacts from funerary and domestic contexts of southern inland Portugal was studied. The prevailing trend comprises binary bronzes (10.3 ± 2.1 wt% Sn) showing deformed equiaxial grains, annealing twins and slip bands. The alloy composition is somewhat independent of artefact type, while the manufacture seems to rely on artefact function and the skilfulness of the metallurgist. The tech…

  • Middle Bronze Age Arsenical Copper Alloys in Southern Portugal

    Open AccessPedro Valério, António Monge Soares et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2016Citada por: 4Referencias: 26

    In the Iberian Peninsula, the copper metallurgy from the Chalcolithic to the Middle Bronze Age (MBA) was mostly characterized by low arsenic contents. A collection of 53 MBA artefacts from southern Portugal was analysed by micro-EDXRF, optical microscopy, SEM–EDS and Vickers to investigate the metal composition and manufacture. No technological distinction was found between artefacts from domestic and funerary contexts, which were radiocarbon-dat…
