This paper aims to reflect upon the architectonic devices present in the archaeological site of Castanheiro do Vento. In this way two particular structures will be considered as paradigmatic examples (after Agamben, 2000), and two concepts will be highlighted: immersion and movement.
The authors describe, very briefly, the main conclusions of the last archaeological work in Castanheiro do Vento, a prehistoric settlement, located in the northeast of Portugal (in the municipality of Vª Nª de Foz Côa).
