摘要：The emergency excavation carried out in the area of Quinta and Horta do
Paraíso (Elvas), in order to evaluate the damage caused by construction work, revealed an
assemblage of structures (primarily the negatives of structures) and archaeological material
that loosely belong to the period between the end of the 4th and middle of the 3rd millennium
BC. This article will discuss the site within the larger network of settlements during the first
rural societies in the middle basin of the Guadiana river
