This study integrates archaeological, zooarchaeological and taphonomic results from the Chalcolithic, the earliest chronological period from the excavations at Castro de Chibanes (Palmela, Portugal). Preliminary results from the “Horizonte IA” (Phase IA1 and IA2), regarding the first half of the 3 rd millennium BC will be presented. The faunal assemblage consists of a total of 858 remains. These predominantly comprise of domestic mammals – particularly pigs, sheep and goats – which are interpreted as food supply. With low percentages of wild game, animal husbandry emerges as a central activity for these populations, complimented by marine fishing. In addition, small game hunting – mainly of lagomorphs and a few birds – is also identified. As at other archaeological sites in the region, the material culture suggests that Castro de Chibanes can be ascribed to the cultural domain of the pre-Bell Beaker Chalcolithic of Estremadura. Particularly comparative sites include Leceia, Zambujal and Penedo do Lexim, also fortified settlements with high rates of domestic livestock (suids and caprines) and extremely low percentages of wild game, in particular red deer.

了解埃斯特雷马杜拉的第一个石器时代的社区：葡萄牙卡斯特罗·德·奇巴内斯的动物考古学。初步结果

这项研究综合了Chalcolithic的考古，动物考古和考古学结果，这是Castro de Chibanes（葡萄牙帕尔梅拉）发掘的最早时间顺序。将介绍“ Horizo​​nte IA”（IA1和IA2期）有关公元前3世纪上半年的初步结果。动物群共包括858具遗骸。这些主要包括家养哺乳动物，特别是猪，绵羊和山羊，它们被解释为食物供应。由于野外狩猎的比例低，畜牧业已成为这些人群的主要活动，而海洋捕捞则使之成为重要活动。此外，还发现了小猎物的狩猎活动-主要是象形文字和一些鸟类。与该地区的其他考古遗址一样，物质文化表明，卡斯特罗·德·卡巴内斯可以归因于埃斯特雷马杜拉的贝尔·贝克烧杯前石器时代的文化领域。尤其是比较地点包括莱塞亚（Leceia），赞布加尔（Zambujal）和莱内姆（Penedo do Lexim），这些定居点还建立了高定居率的家畜（水uid和小鸡），野生猎物（尤其是马鹿）的比例极低。
