- The Early Neolithic at the Muge Shellmiddens (Portugal): analysis and review of the ceramic evidence from Cabeco da AmoreiraPublication . Taylor, Ruth; Garcia-Rivero, Daniel; Gonçalves, Célia; Cascalheira, João; Bicho, NunoThis article, on the Early Neolithic pottery from the Cabeco da Amoreira shellmidden in the Muge region of central Portugal, presents a detailed review of the evidence to date and a systematic analysis of the decorative and mineralogical characteristics of the stratified and radiocarbon-dated ceramic assemblage. A homogenous pottery manufacturing tradition seems to be present right from the beginning, including both local and non-local ceramics. The authors formulate a working hypothesis on the geographic origin of the exogenous pottery, which contributes to the discussion of the dynamics of mobility and social networks in the Neolithization of south-western Europe.
