An all-over corded Bell Beaker in northern Portugal : Castelo Velho de Freixo de Numão (Vila Nova de Foz Côa) : some remarks

Abstract

A Bell Beaker sherd with an ‘all-over corded’ type of decoration is presented; the piece was found at the prehistoric site of Castelo Velho, near Freixo de Numão (Vila Nova de Foz Côa, northern Portugal). The importance of this discovery is briefly discussed in the context of other beaker vessels from the north of Portugal and of AOC-type pottery in the Iberian Peninsula.
