| Sumario: | The opportunity to study two decorated stone slabs found in megalithic contexts in the Viseu/Tondela region, one decorated and known since 1912, the other unpublished until now, has added value to the knowledge of this category of 'ideotechnical' artefacts. Characterised at the morphotypological level, they have been the subject of X-ray fluorescence analyses which point to the possibility of the use of cinnabar as a decorative pigment in one of them. Photographic images of different spectral bands have also been used in this study, both in the visible light band and in the IR and UV radiation bands, which have corroborated the use of red pigment in some areas, as well as the use of another black or blue colouring pigment in others. In addition, the marginal, although not isolated, relationship of the findings of these plaques with the south of the Iberian Peninsula, where pieces of the same conceptual universe –the 'idol-plate'– are counted by the thousands, has been observed. These two plaques, together with some others made with different typology, raw material and context –unpublished or in the process of evaluation–, recovered in the Duero-Tajo interfluve, show that the vacuum of this type of record in the region is only apparent. |
