Faunal remains associated with human cremations: The chalcolithic pits 16 and 4...

Different funerary behaviors are recorded in the Iberian Peninsula during Late Prehistory. Cremation is not the most common practice and the association between human cremains and fauna is even scarcer. We present two Chalcolithic pits (pits 16 and 40) from the Perdigoes ditched enclosures, Reguengos de Monsaraz, Portugal. Humans were accompanied by animals and other votive materials such as arrowheads, ivory a...

Addressing human mobility in Iberian Neolithic and Chalcolithic ditched enclosu...

To access the role of mobility in the social trajectory of Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic societies in the South of Portugal (Southwest Iberia) a project was design to address the human, animal and object/raw material flow present at Perdigoes enclosure. Perdigoes, located in the inner Alentejo region, has a long chronology from Late Middle Neolithic to Late Chalcolithic/Early Bronze Age (middle 4th and 3rd mi...

The preburning condition of Chalcolithic cremated human remains from the Perdig...

The Iberian Chalcolithic displayed a remarkable variety of funerary practices, which has been related to interpopulation differences, intrapopulation social-cultural differences, and complex multistage funerary rituals. Perdigoes, a Chalcolithic set of ditched enclosures, reflects such diversity including a wide array of funerary practices. Among those practices is cremation, which, despite relatively rare, is ...

Is enamel the only reliable hard tissue for sex metric estimation of burned ske...

Sex diagnosis is a crucial element in the analysis of skeletal remains from forensic and archaeological contexts. Thus, researchers have developed several methods using different anatomical regions to estimate sex. Despite such variety of methods, sexing of collective cremated human skeletal remains is still challenging due to heat-induced size changes and fragmentation, along with the typical commingling of co...

Geochemistry, luminescence and innovative dose rate determination of a Chalcoli...

An interdisciplinary approach comprising archaeological, chemical, mineralogical, and luminescence data was applied to a better understanding of the fill dynamic and chronologies of a calcite-rich negative archaeological feature from Southern Portugal. This work aims to contribute to the assessment of the human involvement in the backfilling actions of a negative archaeological feature from a Chalcolithic site,...

The population genomics of archaeological transition in west Iberia: Investigat...

We analyse new genomic data (0.05-2.95x) from 14 ancient individuals from Portugal distributed from the Middle Neolithic (4200-3500 BC) to the Middle Bronze Age (1740-1430 BC) and impute genomewide diploid genotypes in these together with published ancient Eurasians. While discontinuity is evident in the transition to agriculture across the region, sensitive haplotype-based analyses suggest a significant degree...

O concheiro do Meu Jardim (Nazaré) no contexto das estratégias de produção e ci...

Na planície aluvial da várzea da Nazaré (província da Estremadura Portuguesa, na região centro litoral do país), numa área que estabelece o contacto entre o antigo estuário lagunar interior e o oceano, foi identificado um sítio arqueológico conhecido por Meu Jardim, datado do Neolítico Médio (finais do V e IV milénios A.N.E.), com diversos momento de ocupação registados em estratigrafia, e localizado nas proxim...
