Next Monday the 2014 campaign of excavations (the 15th
of the research program) will start at Perdigões enclosure. You will be able to
follow the results here.
One of the goals of this year is to start sampling
ditch 10, in an area where it seems to be a gate (in the geophysics image). If
it is confirmed, it should be noticed that the gate would be aligned with gate
4 in the outside enclosures. And that is very interesting for the
interpretation of the architectonic dynamics in Perdigões, namely to the issue
of how some previous structures conditioned the later and to the idea that, in
Perdigões, there are long term ideological conditions that are imbedded in the
architecture of enclosures. Something that I have been pointing out for some time
now.
