Summary
As part of the work carried out by the CAL and PFM team in the area of the Monsanto Forest Park, visits were made to old limestone quarries. This work resulted in the identification of flint outcrops in several zones, from which several geological samples were taken, and later subjected to laboratory analysis in the Geology Department of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon to obtain thin blades, and subsequently were later object of study. As the geological materials now collected, as well as the archaeological artifacts, presented several similarities to those recollected in the previous decades in the settlements of the western area in the archaeological interventions carried out in the 40s, 50s and 60s of the last century, in the patches of human occupation, dating from the Neolithic and Chalcolithic, in the western area of the present Park, as well as others exhumed in recent works carried out at Travessa das Dores(Ajuda, Lisboa). Physical and petrographic comparisons were made between them, with the purpose to know the origin of the flint used in each archaeological site.
