... is the name of the new big ditched enclosure,
discovered just 3,5 km from Salvada. A water supply infrastructure of EDIA is
planned across the site and some previous surveys were done by Omniknos
company.
To
evaluate the implications of the discovery of the enclosures to the project we visited the site yesterday, a day of huge storms in Portugal. The rain and
strong wind were annoying, but we could conclude that the site is big and the
surface material clearly shows an occupation from Chalcolithic period, as this
limestone pot corroborates.
This kind of artefacts usually appear associated to
funerary structures, like in Perdigões for instance. Their presence in Monte
das Cabeceiras could indicate that the site also has funerary contexts. That
wouldn´t be a surprise, since all large ditched enclosures known in Iberia have
funerary contexts directly associated.
