The study of the Bom Santo Cave (central Portugal), a Neolithic cemetery, indicates complex social, palaeoeconomic, and population scenario. With isotope, aDNA, provenance analyses raw materials coupled with stylistic variability material culture items palaeogeographical data, light is shed on territory social organization dated to 3800–3400 cal BC, i.e. Middle Neolithic. Results indicate an itinerant farming, segmentary society, where exogamic practices were norm. Its lifeway may be that...
