Resumo(s)
Earth mortars were constructively used since Ancient Neolithic in Southwest
Iberia pre-historic habitat places.
According to archaeological information, these materials were applied on Neolithic Period
to render ditches; latter, on Copper and Bronze Age, earth mortars were also used binding
stone masonry, covering and filling vegetable structures, in mudbrick masonry and probably
in massive walls.
This paper aims to show some specific information about earth constructive traces obtained
in interior Alentejo neolithic settlements of Defesa de Cima 2, Lajinha 8, Horta do Albardão
3, Valada do Mato (Évora district) and Toca da Raposa (Portalegre district).
The analysed materials were composed by samples of burned clayish mortars coming from
renderings or small thickness walls of probable storage bins and combustion structures.
The samples descriptions include the drawing, measurement and photographic record of the
chosen traces and also structural and granulometric analysis.
The authors believe these analyses can contribute to deeper the knowledge of pre-historic
domestic structures and constructive techniques, making possible technological
reproduction of habitat settlements.
