Abstract

The presence of a series of structured combustion areas that can be interpreted as altars in several cult spaces of the southern Portuguese Iron Age is currently well attested. The variety of contexts in which these structures were found implies, however, a considerable morphologic, constructive and even functional diversity which translates their adaptation to the concrete social and ritual practices of the communities which used them.
