Resumo: | Engraved slate plaques from the Southwestern Iberian Peninsula are embedded into the funerary context of the Late Neolithic–Chalcolithic farming societies. They appear in the funerary structures, mainly megalithic, within archaeological deposits dated between 3500-2750 BC (calibrated age). Beyond its mere presence in these tombs, the symbolic and social role of this material culture is a historic dilemma widely discussed by archaeologists. Indeed, interpretations over these objects are numerous and diverse, but rarely have used methodological tools to test the hypotheses. This paper applies phylogenetic methods to check empirically one of the most recent hypotheses, that the plaques are ancient mnemonic devices that record genealogies of different lineages or clans. The results reported here come from four different samples representing the overall set of known and published plaques today, and they demonstrate that this hypothesis cannot be maintained. Finally, a discussion on the most plausible interpretative lines that should be tested in future studies is made. |

Para examinarla, se utiliza la metodología filogenética, que se basa en la transmisión de información (aquí, cultural) bajo el modelo de descendencia modificada. Es decir, se utiliza un modelo evolutivo divergente – evolución cladogénica o ramificada – que refleja la naturaleza del cambio tanto en organismos como en cultura material.Câmara Municipal de Oeiras2014-09-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://eao.oeiras.pt/index.php/DOC/article/view/266oai:openjournal.cm-oeiras.pt:article/266Estudos Arqueológicos de Oeiras; Vol. 21 (2014): Estudos Arqueológicos de Oeiras; 81-1080872-6086reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPspahttps://eao.oeiras.pt/index.php/DOC/article/view/266https://eao.oeiras.pt/index.php/DOC/article/view/266/263Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Estudos Arqueológicos de Oeirasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRivero, Daniel GarcíaO’Brien, Michael J.2022-10-21T09:55:54Zoai:openjournal.cm-oeiras.pt:article/266Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:13:36.517626Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

Engraved slate plaques from the Southwestern Iberian Peninsula are embedded into the funerary context of the Late Neolithic–Chalcolithic farming societies. They appear in the funerary structures, mainly megalithic, within archaeological deposits dated between 3500-2750 BC (calibrated age). Beyond its mere presence in these tombs, the symbolic and social role of this material culture is a historic dilemma widely discussed by archaeologists. Indeed, interpretations over these objects are numerous and diverse, but rarely have used methodological tools to test the hypotheses. This paper applies phylogenetic methods to check empirically one of the most recent hypotheses, that the plaques are ancient mnemonic devices that record genealogies of different lineages or clans. The results reported here come from four different samples representing the overall set of known and published plaques today, and they demonstrate that this hypothesis cannot be maintained. Finally, a discussion on the most plausible interpretative lines that should be tested in future studies is made. |
