Abstract
The Lapa do Sono cave (Sesimbra, Portugal), was identified in 2005 during a speleological survey. It was apparently intact at the time of its discovery. During that work, the site could be classified as a Prehistoric burial cave, as some human bones (including a complete skull) and pottery sherds were found. A detailed analysis of the latter and the 14C of the skull confirm its classification in the regional late Early Neolithic.
This paper presents a preliminary description and characterization of this context, which will constitute the basis for further archaeological field work.
