In the context of the work being developed for EDIA
(by Omniknos company and ERA assistance), Salvada was prospected today. The enclosed
topography is amazing: a deep small stream, with the outside ditches being in
the flat lateral tops and then curving towards the stream at North and South.
The site is, therefore, a basin (once again), cut almost at the middle by the water
line.
At the centre, where some small enclosures seem to be
detected in the aerial images, there is a lot of material at the surface and
spreading, with lesser densities, all over the right side of the enclosure.
Lots of stone tools, abundance of pottery (plates, carenated bowls, globular
pots), loom waits, blades and arrow heads, several grinding stones, faunal
remains (and possibly human) and a nice limestone idol. It has definatly a
Chalcolithic occupation, but a possible Neolithic origin.
The material was so much that we have run out of bags and had to be creative.
An amazing site no doubts about it.
