Carved in stone
The late 3rd millennium BC petrification phenomenon in southern Portugal challenges traditional interpretations, and invites us to explore the complex interplay between prehistoric memory and identity. Found at key mnemonic sites, like the ditched enclosures of Perdigões, Santa Vitória, and Bela Vista 5, these non-funerary stone agglomerations – comprising recutting infillings and a cairn – extended beyond mere functionality. They likely embodied…
NeoNet Atlantic. Radiocarbon Dates for the Late Mesolithic/Early Neolithic Transition in the Southern European Atlantic Coast
NeoNet Atlantic dataset complements the NeoNet Mediterranean dataset by providing new curated radiocarbon dates for the study of the pioneer farming front (i.e. Neolithisation, ca. 7500 to 3500 cal BC) in the Southern European Atlantic Coast river basin (Portugal, Western Spain, Southwestern France). The complete dataset is formed by the id00164_doc_elencoc14.tsv file, a data frame with tab-separated values, and a related dataframe: id00164_doc_t…
A multi-embankment Chalcolithic walled enclosure
Ota, a key part of the Chalcolithic walled enclosure phenomenon in Portuguese Estremadura, represents a unique settlement strategy within the actual territory of Portugal. The architecture and social dynamics of this site remained largely unexplored until 2019. This study marks a significant shift in its study, utilizing a synergistic approach of archaeology and geotechnologies, embodied in the using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle equipped with LiDAR…
‘Animal Farm’
This paper presents the results of the excavations carried out in the Chalcolithic contexts from the walled enclosure of Ota (Alenquer, Portugal). Six new absolute dates allow the discussion of the stratigraphical evidence and chronologically frame the zooarchaeological and taphonomical analysis of the faunal assemblage. Domesticated swine, caprine and bovine are prevalent, while wild species, most notably leporids, but also red deer, auroch and …
Faunal Remains manipulation during the Chalcolithic in Pits 13, 16 and 54 from Monte das Cabeceiras 2 (Beja, Southern Portugal)
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…
Heads & tails
This study aims to address the role that Montejunto Mountain (Portuguese Estremadura) may have had during the second half of the 3rd millennium BC. To this end, the available set of decorated Bell Beakers was studied, with particular attention to their formal and decorative variability. The materials came from the Walled Enclosure of Pragança, on the NW side of Montejunto and Cave III from Furadouro Valley, located to SE, which allowed to depict …
From aDNA to Archaeology
Os dados arqueológicos, pela sua complexidade/multiplicidade, têm sido tratados por várias disciplinas. Esta realidade permitiu aos arqueólogos construir narrativas históricas que se aproximam, mais do que nunca, das comunidades do Passado. Para esta realidade contribuem também os resultados dos trabalhos de ADN antigo que, recentemente, se têm focado no território peninsular. Estes enfatizam complexos contactos (não apenas com áreas hoje europei…
The Fragment, The Half, and The Whole
This paper presents the sequence of depositions inside Pit 50 of Perdigões ditched enclosure, dating from the first half of the 3rd millennium BC, and discusses the patterning that emerges from the detailed analysis of the distribution and levels of integrity of pottery and faunal remains along the infilling sequence. It is argued that these patterns are intentional and incorporate metaphorical meanings. Some interpretative hypothesis are put for…
Campaniforme o no Campaniforme
The Bell Beaker phenomenon is the sum of several regional answers. Those are diluted into a reality with several shared characteristics. Nevertheless, and although being one of the most studied expressions of the European Recent Prehistory, more specific adaptations are still to be understood. This is the case of the paired fingernail imprints, or pinched motifs, that due to their scarceness are mostly unnoticed in Iberia. However, one was able t…
