When we are “prospecting” in Google Earth it is easy
to inadvertently cross the border. That happened recently to Tiago and he just
bumped into (most probably) new ditched enclosures in the Spanish side of the
border. At least one look likes the Portuguese sinuous patterned ones, like
Xancra, Outeiro Alto or Santa Vitória. If so, they are the first ones of this
typology to be recognized in Spain.
I'm not sure that's the first "spanish sinuous".... we have Venta de Rapa (Jaen)... anycase, I hope they extend to the Mediterranean ;-)
ReplyDeletequite nice. congratulations
I know of Venta de la Rapa. It has sinuous ditches, similar to Moreiros 2. There are also sinuous ditches (the soft wavy ones) at Papa Uvas and Marroquíes. But I was talking about the well patterned ones, with very standard lobules, like Xancra or Santa Vitória. Those only were recognized at Alentejo. But one of these Spanish "new ones" seems to be like that. And it is just 26 km from Santa Vitória.
