Lithic materials in the Sado River’s shell middens: geological provenance and i...
Pimentel, Nuno; Nukushina, Diana; Diniz, Mariana; Arias, PabloThis work presents a geological approach to the characterization of lithic materials collected at the Mesolithic Sado River’s shell middens, located between Alcácer do Sal and São Romão do Sado, 80 km SE of Lisbon. These shell middens contain abundant lithic materials from different lithologies, including mainly Siliceous Slates, Chert, Jasper and Quartz.

The national inventory of geosites in Portugal
Brilha, J. B.; Alcalá, A.; Almeida, A.; Araújo, A.; Azerêdo, Ana; Azevedo, M. R.; Barriga, Fernando; Silveira, A. Brum; Cabral, J.; Cachão, M.During the last three years geoscientists of various institutions have developed a project aiming the setup of a geoconservation strategy in Portugal (Brilha, 2009). One of the main goals of the project was the establishment of an inventory of the most important Portuguese geosites, under the scientific point of view. In a near future, national authorities will consider this inventory as a technical support for...
