According to the information provided by the Portuguese Statistics National Institute, the illiteracy level reaches 9% in Portugal (17,1% in the Alentejo).The project Learning Archeology in the Alandroal ii assumes, as the main purpose, elaborate the complete cartography of the learnings achieved by a resident population in a certain territory (Alandroal/Alentejo/Portugal) and during a certain period of time (1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007), crossing its results obtained with the evolution of training proposals system in that same territory and in that same period. Such purpose can be a precious contribution to the understanding of the existent relationships between the learning paths taken by the individuals and the different learning patterns available in a certain place. Indeed, as Rothes (2002) refers, the educational system cannot be reduced to the school system and education-training is not limited to a certain period in one's life, but rather coextensive of that same life. Cavaco (2002) mentions that, the fact that adults rarely participate in formal education activities seems to show the importance that learnings achieved through everyday life activities(in social, professional and convivial environments) have in the group of learnings that are part of the personal portfolio. The methodology to render will be supported by a procedural and instrumental platform where both quantitative and qualitative approaches will take place.
