At the VII Meeting of Iberian Southwest Archaeology,
that will take place next week in Aroche (Spain) and Serpa (Portugal), I
(together with Tiago do Pereiro) will be presenting a paper on two ditched
enclosures: Monte das Cabeceiras 2 and Salvada.
The paper will be focus on the fact that these two
quite similar enclosures are relatively big (Salvada with 17,4 ha and Monte das
Cabeceiras with 8,2 ha), probably contemporaneous for a large period of time and
surprisingly near to each other (just 3,5 km apart).
We will be stressing the similarity of layouts and the
proximity in time and space, in order to question some axiomatic ideas about size
and social roles of large enclosures in South Iberia.
