THE PRE-HISTORIC MINING ACTIVITY
IN THE ALGARVE

In this context, one can find scoria and clinker remains, casting crucibles, moulds and copper artefacts such as axes, saws and chisels). From the Iron Age inscribed funerary gravestones have been found and tombs as well as two fortified "Villas" from the Roman occupation dating from the 1st century BC.
