Algar da Água Archaeological Site (Portugal): Data and results of interventions
Description
The Algar da Água site is a cavity made up of two rooms. It presents remains from the Early Neolithic period to the High Middle Ages. During prehistoric times it presents a varied collection and remains of burials. In the Iron Age, there is a notable presence of a wide variety of engraved panels and offering or dining rituals, associated with fireplaces, deposition of fauna and ceramic and metal artifacts in iron (double-edged knives, etc.). In the Roman period, a large fireplace can be seen in the central area of the main room. The medieval presence is circumstantial. The data presented (geopackage) integrate the observed dispersions and contexts, which can be interpreted by colleagues, from a transversal and interdisciplinary perspective, in order to better understand the data. Links to scientific articles about the archaeological site are provided to better understand the location and the interpretation matrices and contexts. Available for questions and sharing other data or brainstorming.
