- As comunidades do pós-glaciário do vale do Tejo: um exemplo de adaptação de sucesso às alterações climáticasPublication . Gonçalves, Célia; Cardoso, João LuisThe Muge shell middens, located approximately 60 kilometers upstream from the current Tagus estuary, are an important testament to the adaptive capacity of human communities to the climate changes that occurred at the beginning of the Holocene, about 11,700 years ago, a period that marked the end of the last great glaciation. Recent studies indicate that, about 8,000 years ago, these estuarine areas were already partially flooded by the sea, like the Tagus estuary, creating humid environments rich in natural resources, including fish, molluscs and a great diversity of terrestrial fauna. These conditions attracted groups of Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, who began to intensively exploit these resources.
