The number of ditched keeps increasing in Portugal
(namely in the South). Having a good chronology of these sites is crucial for
the understanding of their emergence, development and fall. I have registered
know almost sixty in Portugal, but just 1/6 has been dated by radiocarbon.
Chronology of ditched enclosures of Recent Prehistory in Portuguese territory.
Next week, in the first Congress of the Portuguese
Association of Archaeologists I will be presenting a paper that does the
synthesis of the available radiocarbon dating information for these enclosures
and, based on that, it will be underlined the main tendencies that can be
perceived in these architectures during the Neolithic and Chalcolithic.
Since the proceedings will be released during the
congress, the paper will be available by the end of next week.
