Foz do Vale do Forno

Vila Nova de Foz Côa - Vila Nova de Foz Côa

Chronology: Late Prehistory

Platform located close to large vertical outcrops on the left shore of the mouth of the Vale do Forno waterline. The upper area of the platform is not submerged but it is occupied by dense vegetation, which makes survey impossible. Taking advantage of an episodic lowering of the water, it was possible to examine the lower area of the platform, and abundant surface materials were found: hand-made pottery fragments, including some with combed decoration, a granite grindstone fragment and a few small quartz flakes.
