The continuous discovery of ditched enclosures in
South Portugal brings the region closer to the standards of some European
regions: in numbers (at the moment, 35 confirmed just at South of Tagus river)
but also in some morphologies. In fact, until recently, the known Portuguese
ditched enclosures (those with plans well known) presented designs quite
particular to the region (especially the sinuous patterned ones). But, like in
Central Europe or Britain, exact geometric circles started to appear and now
what seems to be a perfect ellipse.
Here is this new Chalcolithic context, named Montoito because is near Montoito village,
Évora district (discovered in Google by Tiago do Pereiro and confirmed by me), compared
with the perfect ellipse of Meisternthal
in Germany (magnetogram from Helmut Becker).
