| Resumo: | [EN] The flint artefacts from the dolmens of Lapa da Meruje (Vouzela) and Antelas (Oliveira de Frades), which were built at the beginning of the fourth millennium BC, were analysed in order to provide a first comprehensive portrayal of its exploration, circulation and use in the megalithic region of Lafões, one of the subareas of the important megalithic clusters of Beira Alta. These assemblages are formed mainly by trapezoidal geometrics, followed by segments. The origin of the flint could be determined for the first case (Rio Maior area), with five possible supply areas (to be identified) being observed among the Antelas material. The analysis showed that the vast majority of the Antelas artefacts were not used before their deposition; conversely, the geometrics from Lapa of Meruje were obtained from previously used blades and later effectively used as projectile points. It should be noted in these latter cases that they were transversely hafted, a technique that had already been recognized in the famous painting of an archer at the dolmen of Juncais (Vila Nova de Paiva). Taken together, these preliminary results reveal a high complexity of the flint supply circuits in the Beira Alta megalithism. The different intensities observed in the use of flint artefacts will also mean different capacities for the acquisition of exogenous raw materials. An explanation for such contrasts should lie in the socioeconomic and social organization framework of these communities. |
