Abstract(s)

Petrographical analysis and archaeological studies realised in southwestern Brittany indicates that most of the Bell Beakers found in this region were produced locally, while a small number of examples are characterised by volcanic rock inclusions and a decoration impressed with a small shell (Donax Vitttus,). The same techniques of decoration have been observes in Portugal, that is why a programme of analysis on some Portuguese Bell Beakers has commenced. The aim of this programme, which began last year, is to specify Bell Beaker circulation mechanisms and exdlange routes along the Atlantic coast and, finally, relationships between littoral, where Bell Beakers are concentrated, and the hinterland. The first results come from the fortified site of Leceia (Oeiras), excavated by J. L. Cardoso.
