The find of a few caprine remains at least one possible sheep, among a large spectrum of species -swine, rabbit, hare, Iberian lynx and toad-, makes this site the oldest in the region to provide direct evidence for herding practices. Small-sized pots, expedient use of local lithic raw materials together with curated use of exogenous flint, and low density of artefacts indicate a strategy of residential mobility in line with similar evidence observed elsewhere in Beira Alta. Given previous claims of Neolithic vertical transhumance between montane plateaux -in the summer- and lowland plains -in the winter-, this hypothesis is here discussed -and refuted- based on spatial analysis of Neolithic sites, economic characterization of the period and local orographic and bioclimatic constraints.Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM)Departamento de História (DH)RUNCarvalho, Antonio FaustinoPereira, VeraDuarte, CarlosTente, Catarina2018-02-19T23:12:25Z20172017-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article20application/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14201/zephyrus2017791938eng0514-7336PURE: 3617361http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85020677049&partnerID=8YFLogxKhttps://doi.org/10.14201/zephyrus2017791938info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:16:59Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/30873Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:29:32.270052Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
