Abstract

TWO new settlements with Venha ware at the Miño valley. In this paper a couple of open-air settlements, casually found in the lower tract of the river Miño, are studied. The material culture thus recovered is characteristic of the NW Iberian Chalcolithic: concave arrowheads, Penha pottery and arsenical copper. Moreover, the actual placing of these sites seems to be linked not just to the exploitation of the inmediate resources but also to strategic concerns.
