0138 – The last day of 2015 campaign
Recovering the top of the decorated
schist stelae (the main part was recovered in August – see below). It has the hedge
polished and it was deeply affected by the ploughing, as you can see by the
mark.
Over this stelae hedge
there was this tube of ceramic, of conic shape. An object usually associated to
metallurgy.
And then we covered ditch 7
and ditch 10. Just like the chalcolithics, we opened them to rapidly fill them
again.
History repeating itself! Dr. Valera, thank you for taking the time to make Perdigoes accessible to everyone. The pictures are fantastic. The place is a treasure.
