The excavations carried out in Alto do Cidreira, Cascais, in 2007 led to the identification of a domestic unit implanted at the top of a south‑facing slope, constituted by a fireplace protected from the NW winds by a possible windbreak. These two structures were located in the open air, certainly in the vicinity of a hut that was not identified during the excavation. The almost exclusive occurrence of incised beaker ceramics and from where the fine productions associated to maritime vases are completely absent has parallels in other domestic sites spread across the fertile region located along the north bank of the Tagus mouth and corresponds to the less differentiated segment of the population, whose elites, associated with fine productions, would occupy the fortified villages of the region, such as that of Leceia. This is the first evidence of a beaker workshop specialized in the preparation of artefacts identified in Portuguese territory, as indicated by the hundreds of chipping flakes from flint cores, an abundant raw material obtained in the Cretaceous formations of the surrounding region, often exhibiting heat treatment. This feature explains the existence of the identified combustion structure. To reinforce this conclusion, two sketches of artefacts were collected, which are added to the few flint instruments identified whose remarkable diversity is explained by the fact that they correspond to the set used by the specialized community that during a short period of time frequented this place. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

A single individual burial in a pit was identified in the course of the preventive archaeological intervention carried out in the former Sommer Warehouses, located on the right bank of the Tagus, in the urban area of Lisbon. From the typology of the vessel that accompanied the deposition of a corpses in fetal position, as well as the absolute radiocarbon date obtained, this grave belongs to the Early Neolithic. It is the only occurrence of this nature hitherto recorded in the West of the Iberian Peninsula, and the similarities of implantation of the tombs of El Retamar on the lagoon coast of Cadiz with a similar geographic implantation is emphasized. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

I Encontro de Arqueologia de Lisboa: Uma Cidade em Escavação, realizado no Teatro Aberto, 26, 27 e 28 de novembro de 2015 O sítio pré-histórico da Travessa das Dores localiza-se na Ajuda, junto à Calçada da Boa Hora, sensivelmente a meia encosta entre o Palácio Nacional da Ajuda e o rio Tejo. Foi intervencionado na sequência de trabalhos de acompanhamento arqueológico, tendo-se registado diversos contextos enquadráveis entre o Neolítico Final e a Época Romana. Destaca-se, na primeira fase de escavação, a identificação de diversas estruturas negativas, do tipo fossas/silo, onde se recolheu um vasto conjunto artefactual inserido cronologicamente no Neolítico Final/Calcolítico. A continuação dos trabalhos, já a cargo da Neoépica Lda., permitiu não só o reconhecimento de contextos idênticos aos da fase anterior, mas também identificar uma estrutura de tipo fosso associada a elementos estruturais em positivo, estes últimos enquadráveis no Calcolítico. O sítio da Travessa das Dores reveste-se assim de grande importância para o conhecimento da sequência ocupacional da cidade de Lisboa, revelando vestígios que poderão indicar estarmos na presença de um povoado munido de estruturas defensivas de grande interesse patrimonial. The prehistoric site of Travessa das Dores is located in Ajuda, near Calçada da Boa Hora, on the hillside between Palácio Nacional da Ajuda and Tagus river. As a result of archaeological watching briefs, this site was excavated, having registered several contexts from the Late Neolithic to the Roman Period. we highlight, as the first stage of the intervention, the identification of several negative structures of pit/silo type, where was recovered a vast number of artefacts from the Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic. The continuation of the archaeological works, now led by Neoépica Lda., allowed not only the identification of identical historical contexts, relating the first stage, but also the identification of a pitch/ditch type structure associated with some chalcolithic positive structures. The Late Neolithic site of Travessa das Dores is therefore of great importance for the knowledge and understanding when it comes to the occupational sequence of Lisbon, revealing several elements that might indicate the presence of a defensive settlement of great patrimony interest. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

In this article we present the results of the archaeological excavations at Travessa das Dores, Lisbon, that were performed before the construction of a new building for this location approved by the Lisbon city council. The excavations were limited to the area occupied by the new building. A significant number of pits were excavated during Late Neolithic in a cretaceous marly limestone platform. Soon after, an important defensive ditched enclosure was installed in the same place. Until now it is the first ditched enclosure excavated in Lisbon and North of Tagus River. The recollected artefacts typology from these two construction phases point out to a domestic occupation, with special emphasis to the abundant indented edges fragments, that points out to the same cultural phase. During the Chalcolithic this site knew had others less important domestic occupations; several fireplaces were identified in the ditch filling associated to Early and Full / Late Chalcolithic ceramics. Travessa das Dores settlement may be considered the most important prehistoric site identified and excavated in Lisbon city, according to the results we present now. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
