In 1997, under the coordination of Era-Arqueología, aerial photographs, surface surveys and archaeological excavations were carried out at the Neolithic- Chalcolithic site at Perdigões (Reguengos de Monsaraz, Portugal). As a result, a quite accurate idea of the general layout of the site was achieved, allowing archaeologists to continue working there for more than ten years. In 2006, a new collaboration project was started to boost research at Perdigões, with the participation of several international public and private institutions, amongst which is the University of Málaga. The earliest contribution of the Spanish-Portuguese cooperation is the geophysical surveys performed in 2008 and 2009, which show Perdigões as a juxtaposition of several subcircular ditched enclosures, articulated with a funerary area and a cromlech., En 1997, bajo la coordinación de Era-Arqueología, se efectuaron fotografías aéreas, prospecciones superficiales y sondeos arqueológicos en el yacimiento neolítico-calcolítico de Perdigões (Reguengos de Monsaraz, Portugal), donde, durante más de diez años, se han venido articulando las distintas actuaciones hasta disponer de un esbozo bastante aproximado de su planta.

Discovered in 1997, the Neolithic-Calcolithic ditched site of Perdigões (Reguengos de Monsaraz, Évora, Portugal) is located in an area widely known for the profusion of megalithic monuments. Within a global research project coordinated by Era-Arqueologia, recent works have been carried out by a team from the University of Málaga (UMA). Firstly, general geophysical prospections, which revealed the existence of up to 11 ditched enclosures. Secondly, two campaigns of excavation at a point in the feature named Ditch 1, the most external, in close proximity to the causeway known as Gate 1. The works focused on testing some of the hipothesis which constitute the interpretative model on Southern Iberian ditched enclosures that we have been defending in the last few years. In the current paper we present our reading of the estratigraphic sequence of ditch 1, according to the new data, and compare the obtained results with our own previous theoretical expectations
