As indústrias do Paleolítico Inferior e Médio associadas ao Terraço T4 do Baixo Tejo (Portugal central); Arquivos da mais antiga ocupação humana no oeste da Ibéria, com ca. 340 ka a 155 ka

Abstract: Através dos registos geomorfológicos e sedimentares, os rios fornecem relevantes arquivos de mudanças paleoambientais, nomeadamente paleoclimáticas e paleogeográficas. As sucessões sedimentares melhor datadas são as mais importantes, com as idades numéricas dos respetivos dos eventos sedimentares, de fósseis e de materiais arqueológicos, obtidas por uma variedade de técnicas. Os arquivos fluviais do Quaternário fornecidos pelo rio Tejo em Portugal (Baixo Tejo) constituem um importante repositório de dados para… Show more

“…No evidence has been found to date of industries prior to the Acheulean in this area. However, considering the presence of Oldowan material at several sites in Iberia, some dating back to c. 1.4 Ma, this absence must be seen as a problem of archaeological visibility [57].…”

“…In Portugal, the record is patchy; however, recent investigation in the Lower Tejo proved that the river terrace staircases there are important archives for the interpretation of human occupation during the Pleistocene, including the record of the Lower to Middle Palaeolithic transition that occurs within the sediments of the T4 terrace, probably at ca. 220 ka (Cunha et al, 2017b(Cunha et al, , 2017a(Cunha et al, , 2016.…”

“…Near the coast, Furninha and Moura caves revealed Pleistocene lithic artefacts, fauna and human remains (Delgado, 1884(Delgado, , 1867. Between the 1930s and 1960s, the production of the 1/50,000 Portuguese geological maps allowed the identification of multiple sites, some with stratigraphy (Breuil and Zbyszewski, 1945;Cunha et al, 2017a;Raposo and Cardoso, 2000;Zbyszewski, 1943Zbyszewski, , 1946Zbyszewski, , 1954Zbyszewski, , 1958Zbyszewski, , 1966Zbyszewski, , 1977Zbyszewski and Breuil, 1943), while the National Archaeological Museum team excavated many Upper Palaeolithic sites in the flint-rich region of Rio Maior (Heleno, 1965;Zilhão, 1997). From the 1970s to the 1980s, the construction of the Fratel dam led to the discovery of rock art and Palaeolithic sites in stratigraphical setting in the Ródão area (Lower Tejo reach I), some with excellent preservation conditions, namely at Monte Famaco (Raposo, 1996;Raposo et al, 1993;Silva et al, 1975), Vilas Ruivas (G.E.P.P., 1983Silva, 1982, 1981) and Foz do Enxarrique (G.E.P.P., 1977; Raposo et al, 1985;Raposo and Brugal, 1999).…”

“…Com efeito, não só é a área mais intervencionada ao longo das décadas (cf. Cura, 2017), constituindo-se os sítios aí identificados enquanto referências incontornáveis para o conhecimento deste período na fachada atlântica da Península Ibérica, como é atualmente a única região em Portugal para a qual se dispõe de um número substantivo de dados cronométricos (Marks et al 2002;Rosina et al 2014;Cunha, Cura, et al 2017;Daura et al 2017;Daura et al 2018) -ainda que somente num caso o horizonte arqueológico esteja diretamente datado (Daura et al 2018), sendo o balizamento cronológico dos restantes imputável, quando possível, ao referencial existente para a sequência de terraços do rio Tejo.…”
