In the context of the
congress organized by Era Arqueologia in 2012, held in Gulbenkian, Lisbon, and
dedicated to debate the Recent Prehistoric Enclosures and Funerary Practices in
Europe, a field trip was organized and Santa Vitória ditched enclosure was
visited by the participants.
Part of the group. In the
picture we can identify Alasdair Whittle, Niels Andersen and Alex Gibson. All with relevant work in European enclosures.
Perspective from the tower of observation of
Santa Vitoria enclosure. That horizon was hiding a surprise.
At the time we did not
suspected of the incredible complex of enclosures that was just behind that
horizon line: Monte da Contenda.
Magnetogram of Monte da Contenda, just 3,5 km from Santa Vitória.
A paper about the
preliminary data on this important complex of enclosures is in press in the
Estudos Arqueológicos de Oeiras journal.
