A cronologia relativa e absoluta da ocupação sidérica do Castelo de Castro Marim
2014
A diacronia da ocupacao da Idade do Ferro do Castelo de Castro Marim foi estabelecida tendo em consideracao a sequencia estratigrafica observada e, naturalmente, os espolios recolhidos nessa mesma sequencia. Com base nesses dados, foram ja apresentadas propostas de atribuicao cronologica as quatro fases de ocupacao siderica que pudemos caracterizar tambem relativamente aos espolios e a arquitectura. A recolha de material orgânico em todos os niveis da sequencia estratigrafica permitiu obter datacoes absolutas, efectuadas sobre carvoes e faunas malacologicas. Neste trabalho, os dados da cronologia de radiocarbono obtidos sao apresentados, sendo cruzados e discutidos com os que os restantes e…
Last Interglacial Iberian Neandertals as fisher-hunter-gatherers.

Zilhão et al. present evidence that, in Atlantic Iberia's coastal settings, Middle Paleolithic Neanderthals exploited marine resources at a scale on par with the modern human–associated Middle Stone Age of southern Africa (see the Perspective by Will). Excavations at the Figueira Brava site on Portugal's Atlantic coast reveal shell middens rich in the remains of mollusks, crabs, and fish, as well as terrestrial food items. Familiarity with the sea and its resources may thus have been widespread for residents there in the Middle Paleolithic. The Figueira Brava Neanderthals also exploited stone pine…
