El complexo arqueológico dos Perdigões (reguengos de monsaraz, Portuga). prospecciones geofísicas - Campañas 2008-09

Abstract

In 1997, under the coordination of Era-Arqueología, aerial photographs, surface surveys and archaeological excavations were carried out at the Neolithic- Chalcolithic site at Perdigões (Reguengos de Monsaraz, Portugal). As a result, a quite accurate idea of the general layout of the site was achieved, allowing archaeologists to continue working there for more than ten years. In 2006, a new collaboration project was started to boost research at Perdigões, with the participation of several international public and private institutions, amongst which is the University of Málaga. The earliest contribution of the Spanish-Portuguese cooperation is the geophysical surveys performed in 2008 and 2009, which show Perdigões as a juxtaposition of several subcircular ditched enclosures, articulated with a funerary area and a cromlech.
