Summary, in English

The study of large settlement sites with graves from the Late Mesolithic has changed our conception of this period. In western Europe sites of this kind have long been known, and are well represented in the coastal area of western Iberia. One of these sites is Poças de São Bento, located near the River Sado in southern Portugal. The results of the excavation give interesting perspectives on specific and general conditions in a broader geographical, chronological, and social context.
