Abstract: Human–animal relations have been a fruitful research topic worldwide. The importance of deer in hunter–gatherer societies is undeniable, with cervids being commonly found in archaeological and past artistic records, with a notable amount of information recovered in the Iberian Peninsula.
This relevance continues during Late Prehistory, but the attempt to discuss cervids under broader perspectives and based on different types of data is not as common. We intend to approach human–deer relations in Central and Southern Portuguese Late Prehistory by considering the zooarchaeological records, both deer abundance in faunal spectra and their presence in “meaningful” assemblages
and structured depositions, as well as the use of deer and deer body parts in other socio–cultural and ideological practices. The synthesis of available data shows that human–deer relations changed through time and space, with different abundances related to hunting depending on chronology and geography. The use of deer or their body parts as a resource of symbolic nature also varied,
being included in food-sharing events, offerings, structured depositions, and graphic representations. Changeability is part of the different relationships, ontologies, and cosmogonies that humans and deer developed in the Late Prehistoric relational world.2024-01-01T00:00:00ZThe TransTexTec Project: exploring transitions in textile technologies and economies in southern Portugal (2200–700 BCE)Gomes, FranciscoCosteira, CatarinaBasso Rial, RicardoAlmeida, NelsonDetry, CleiaMelo, LindaPorfírio, EduardoGomes, SérgioNunes, Carinahttp://hdl.handle.net/10174/418552026-04-16T16:27:15Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The TransTexTec Project: exploring transitions in textile technologies and economies in southern Portugal (2200–700 BCE)

Abstract: In this third volume of the Perdigões monographic series, the results of the excavations carried out in Ditch 7 and in three Chalcolithic pits during 2014 and 2015 in the so-called Sector P atPerdigões are presented. These negative structures and their infilling stratigraphy are described. This is followed by an analysis of the sequence of radiocarbon dates obtained for Ditch 7 and the integration of this structure into the constructive sequence of the Perdigões ditch system. The archaeological materials are studied, and the faunal data are reanalysed in light of a new phasing of the ditch fills, whose infilling dynamics are examined based on the distribution of materials. Finally, a first general and provisional synthesis is presented for the occupation sequence of the centre of Perdigões, still under excavation. It is proposed a phasing for the construction of the various timber circles, different hut structures, funerary contexts of cremations, structured deposits, and stone-paved closures, over a time span extending approximately between 2800 and 2000 BC, allowing this central area to be characterised as an“assembly” space that brings into relation a multiplicity of structures, practices, and livedexperiences2026-01-01T00:00:00ZDos sítios, das artes e das noites megalíticas: a exposiçãoAlmeida, NelsonCortes, DinizMatias, TâniaBarreira, JoãoTomé, Andréhttp://hdl.handle.net/10174/418532026-04-16T16:26:06Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Dos sítios, das artes e das noites megalíticas: a exposição
