The fortified settlement of Cortadouro goes back to the Chalcolithic (3rd millennium B.C.). It is located on a spur to the South of the Mira River, offering good visual control over the surrounding territory, where an open mining pit was possibly already explored at this time. The site was occupied during the Iron Age and in the Middle Ages.<\/p>

Although excavations have not yet allowed for a global vision of the site, they reveal the existence of a 70-centimetre-thick wall that served as a fortification for the areas with easier access. Many postholes were identified inside this defensive line, which may correspond to habitational units. These huts had circular or ellipsoidal plans and a semi-circular volume. Its structure was essentially made with perishable materials, composed of intertwining branches over a base made of stone. This vegetal frame was waterproofed with clay, which, over time, became hardened by the sun or an occasional fire.<\/p>

Artefacts collected on-site inform us that this Chalcolithic community practised weaving and copper metallurgy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
