As in other
ditches of the site, the Chalcolithic ditch 2 has also human remains deposited
together with faunal remains and other archaeological materials.
The
deposition of scattered human remains in ditches is a practice that is being
more and more frequent in Iberian large enclosures, such as Perdigões,
Valencina de la Concepción, Pijotilla and naturally Porto Torrão. Something
that is well known in European ditched enclosures, confirming social practices
that have a wide distribution, possibly related to shared cosmologies at a
large scale.
