Conjunto megalítico do Olival da Pêga, Neolithic burial complex near Monsaraz, Portugal
The archaeological site contains a dolmen with a polygonal chamber constructed from seven vertical stones and a 16-meter corridor bordered by orthostates.
German archaeologists Georg and Vera Leisner first identified and excavated Anta 1, while researchers from the University of Lisbon later studied Anta 2.
The site includes two large shale orthostates in the corridor with cup-like engravings, plus ceramic vessels, bone hairpins, and zoomorphic figurines.
The complex forms part of the Roteiro do Alqueva route and requires visitors to maintain distance from ongoing excavations and archaeological structures.
Excavations revealed over one hundred burial remains in each tomb, along with artifacts including flint blades, arrowheads, and a copper dagger.
