| Summary: | [EN] This paper presents the state of the art of wood charcoal analyses carried out from six Mesolithic archaeological sites in Portugal. Summarized data allows observing the presence or absence of wood species in some Mesolithic Portuguese settlements. Data from six sites are here synthesized. Pine wood is clearly the most frequent taxa in almost all archaeological contexts. Quercus wood is also important, especially in Buraca Grande, Povoado da Gaspeia and S. Julião. Other minor taxa appear in Cabeço da Amoreira, Buraca Grande and S. Julião, but with more representation in the latter. |
