Today we
had a visit of António Roquette and a group of Esporão collaborators. They
visited the excavations of Era and Málaga teams.
Meanwhile,
at sector Q we removed the last deposit in the area of the circular structure
and another circular pit appeared.
And the
presence of the new ditch (ditch 13) was confirmed. A new section was detected and started to be excavated in the NE side of
the circular structure and cut by Late Neolithic ditch 6 (red line). It makes a curve into the section of the survey area,
so two hypotheses are possible: the ditch makes a curve and goes back into the
survey area, connecting with the segment detected in the western side or there
is an interruption corresponding to a gate orientated to North.
The
materials indicate a Neolithic chronology and now the several Neolithic pits in
that area start to be seen as pits that might be related to the internal area
defined by this new ditch.
This
central area of Perdigões is, in fact, quite complex, for there we find
structures related to all the chronological span of the site.
