Andrade, Marco António; Cardoso, João Luís; Mataloto, Rui; Moita, Patrícia; Pereira, André; Pimenta, JoãoThe dolmen of Monte Serves, located in Vila Franca de Xira (Lisbon peninsula), corresponds to a small megalithic tomb with a trapezoidal plan built using limestone slabs. It was identified in 1972 by Octávio da Veiga Ferreira, being excavated that same year under the direction of Christopher Thomas North. In 2014, within the scope of the project MEGAGEO – Moving Megaliths in the Neolithic, this monument was the...

Experimental production of the Late Neolithic/ Early Chalcolithic engraved schi...
Thomas, Jonathan T.; Gonçalves, Victor S.; Andrade, Marco AntónioEngraved schist plaques are one of the most original artistic manifestations in Southwestern Iberia during the Late Neolithic and Early Chalcolithic local chrono-zones (3200–2600 cal BCE), being assumed to be the distinguishing feature of the megalithic group that develops in this region since the mid-4th millennium BCE onwards. Although their «symbolic production» (in terms of their possible meanings) is exten...
From matter to essence. Sourcing raw materials for the votive artefacts of the ...
Andrade, Marco AntónioThis paper presents some preliminary readings about the procurement of raw materials for the production of votive artefacts by the megalithic communities in the area of Ribeira da Seda (North Alentejo, Portugal). A macroscopic analysis of the artefacts collected in megalithic monuments in the study area (pottery, flaked stone artefacts, polished stone artefacts, votive plaques, adornment elements, metallic arte...

Gonçalves, Victor S.; Andrade, Marco AntónioThe megalithic clusters of Deserto and Barrocal das Freiras are currently under study in the framework of the OMEGA research project. This group of monuments consists mostly of so-called “proto-megalithic” tombs, probably used around the mid-4th millennium BCE, possibly earlier. Other more evolved medium-to-large-sized monuments with differentiated Chamber and Corridor (passage graves), from the late 4th millen...
