0370 - Perdigões: 20 years of research

The Perdigões Research Program completes, in 2017, twenty years of continuous activity. Directed by Era Arqueologia, a private company, the program has established many collaborations with researchers and institutions at a national and international level, and continues to do so. This policy of open collaboration has turned Perdigões in a central context in Portuguese archaeology of Prehistory, with significant international projection. It is an emblematic project of the Portuguese Prehistoric Enclosures. Two decades of research of a site that lived for at least 1500 years gives a good idea of what remains to be done. The project is sound, though, so an interesting future is to be expected. Perdigões has a lot to give. The ability to "extract" it depends entirely on us (collectivelly).
