Resumo: Abstract: Direct evidence of agriculture in Early Neolithic Portugal is almost non-existent, so there are very disparate estimates of the role played by agriculture during the period. Recent excavations at Cortic¸ óis, a newly discovered Early Neolithic site in central Portugal, revealed the first recognizable sickle implements and therefore relevant artefactual evidence of agricultural practices. These are typologically similar to Andalusian and Valencian sickles, reflecting a common technological tradition in southern Iberia during the period (c. 5600–4000 cal BC). Based on this fact, we summarize all available evidence for early agriculture in central Portugal and compare it with the Andalusian and Valencian records in order to tentatively present a model to be tested locally in future research.

Des fouilles récentes sur le site de Cortic¸ óis, un site du Néolithique ancien, récemment découvert dans le centre du Portugal, ont permis la mise au jour des premiers éléments de faucilles et donc d’une preuve artefactuelle pertinente sur les pratiques agricoles. Elles sont typologiquement similaires aux faucilles andalouses et valenciennes, ce qui reflète une tradition technologique commune dans le Sud de la péninsule Ibérique au cours du Néolithique ancien (c. 5600–4000 cal BC). Partant de ce fait, nous résumons toutes les données disponibles concernant le début de l’agriculture au centre du Portugal et nous les comparons avec les registres andalous et valencien, l’objectif étant de présenter un modèle provisoire, à tester localement dans de futures recherches.ElsevierRepositório da Universidade de LisboaCarvalho, António FaustinoGibaja, Juan F.Cardoso, João2014-02-26T15:01:52Z20132013-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/10655engComptes Rendus Palevol.
