Authors: Rocha, Leonor; Alvim, Pedro Abstract: The group of menhirs of Alto da Cruz (Mora, Portugal) presents several exceptional characteristics which justify new lines of questioning, in regards to the diversity of the open megalithic monuments in the Alentejo and their chrono-cultural relations with funerary megalithism. The megalithic cruciform of Alto da Cruz was identified by the undersigned in August 2011 and archaeological work was carried out in 2012, which allowed the researchers to confirm its cruciform ground plan. In regards to the spatial composition of the group of menhirs and the possible connections to other nearby places, the particularly interesting relation with the Penedo das Almoinhas, the granite outcrop with rock paintings divulged by G. Zbysweski (Zbysweski et al., 1977a) in the 1970s, is noteworthy.

Authors: Rocha, Leonor Abstract: The development, during the last two decades, of systematic archaeological surveys and excavations, related to measures for minimizing negative impacts as well as research projects, has allowed us to learn more about the territories preferred by the Neolithic populations in inland Alentejo, and thus to refute traditional theories put forward during the 1970s and the 1980s. The many habitat locations, identified as being part of the initial phases of the Neolithic period through the artefacts recovered, are located in areas with very specific geomorphologic characteristics. In this work, we present a summary of the available information about this region, while defining the main settlement areas and reflecting on their functional materiality and the issues related to their characterization.
