About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Archaeological International Field Camp will take place in a large walled site whose topographic location and construction techniques used in its walls suggests a date from the beginning of the first millennium BC (Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age). It could be interpreted as a temporary refuge settlement or a “deceit site”, associated with a period of regional instability and conflict following the establishment of the Phoenician colonies in the coast of the Iberian Peninsula. However, other interpretation are still viable and we intend to continue the investigation initiated in 2015

💼 What the programme involves

Your activities will include archaeological excavation by using a range of digging equipment; learn how to record sites using drawings, detailed notes and photography; and other fieldwork (3D recording, geophysical and archaeological surveying). The study trips in the region and lectures will include the visit to other field camps (Cabeço da Anta and Cerca do Castelo) and learning more on archaeological studies; sightseeing in Proença-a-Nova and his traditions of natural (Almourão valley, vulture watching, swimming inland river beaches), cultural (museums and Centre of Living Sciences) and gastronomy (“maranho” and “tigelada”) importance.
