Resumo:The final phases of the Early Neolithic and the transition towards the Middle Neolithic are still poorly understood and often lack a systematic definition. In terms of chronology, it seems certain that the Middle Neolithic transition starts during the second half of the 5th millennium, and ends by the time of the construction of the first megalithic monuments in the 4th millennium cal BC. However, the difficulty to frame this period both in terms of chronological and cultural aspects reflects the lack of solid information that we still faced when it comes to the characterization of Middle Neolithic sites. Up to now, the scientific debate has mainly focused on the analysis of neolithisation processes occurring between the second half of the 6th and the first half of the 5th millennium BC. As a consequence, the Middle Neolithic remains as an empty phase between two well-defined moments, the Early Neolithic, and the Late Neolithic. Through the available empirical evidence, this paper aims to present a first reflection on elements which are in large still difficult to define, such as settlement patterns and resource exploitations developed by Middle Neolithic groups in southern Portugal. The methodology used in the 3D modeling, produced satisfactory results, providing an effective tool in the problem of paleoenvironmental reconstruction in areas with scarce geologic information.
