Resumo
Variados são os sítios arqueológicos que suportam este trabalho. A escavação de alguns deles remonta aos finais do século XX - primeiros anos deste século, outros foram apenas intervencionados em 2008.
Eles são considerados como sítios-paradigma de uma faixa relativamente reduzida do Vale do Baixo Zêzere, no amplo espectro cronológico do comportamento das sociedades humanas, que se estende desde o Epipaleolítico até à Idade do Bronze Final.
Os vários modelos interpretativos que correspondem a fases de transição são discutidos com o intuito de melhor compreender as dinâmicas internas e externas, que estiveram subjacentes a estas sociedades, localizadas numa área geográfica dominada pelo Rio Tejo.
O enquadramento pré-histórico desta pequena região situada, administrativamente, em parte no concelho de Abrantes, em parte no de Constância, é ainda realizado numa região mais vasta – o Alto Ribatejo. Este enquadramento implica alguma revisão do modelo explicativo pré-existente e a introdução de uma tabela cronológica um pouco mais ampla do ponto de vista diacrónico.
Discute-se o processo de neolitização nesta faixa territorial, a partir das evidências artefactuais fornecidas pelos trabalhos de campo e a presença / ausência de determinados items podem ter sido determinantes para a adopção de um novo modo de vida, com as evidentes repercussões ao nível social e ideológico.
Pretende-se com este trabalho, que está dependente dos sítios-paradigma, elaborar, para esta área, um esquema diacrónico de transformação social, económica e ideológica das sociedades humanas.
Several are the archaeological sites that support this work. Some of them were excavated dating back to the late twentieth century - the early years of this century, others were only intervened in 2008. They are considered as paradigm-sites for a relatively small part of the Lower Zêzere Valley, in broad chronological spectrum of human society’s behaviour, which extends from the Epipaleolithic until the Late Bronze Age. The various interpretative models which correspond to periods of transition are discussed with the aim of better understanding the internal and external dynamics, which were behind these societies located in a geographic area dominated by the River Tagus. The prehistoric environment of this small region partially located administratively in the councils of Constance and Abrantes, is still conducted in a wider area - the Alto Ribatejo. This framework entails some revision of pre-existing explanatory model and the introduction of a chronological table a little wider in a diachronic point of view. It discusses the process of neolithization at this territorial framework, from the evidence provided by field work and the presence and absence of certain items that may have been crucial in the adoption of a new way of life, with obvious impacts on social and ideological level. The aim of this work, which is dependent on paradigm-sites, is to draw up, in this area, a social, economic and ideological diachronic scheme of human societies.
