Eira Pedrinha is an important Late Neolithic skeletal sample made of at least 144 individuals. The excavation of Covão de Almeida cave was performed in 1945 by a team from the Serviços Geológicos de Portugal (Correia and Teixeira, 1949). By then, a first anthropological analysis was also done. More than 50 years later, we decided to revisit Eira Pedrinha community striving to retrieve more information which could help us make this journey to a Late Neolithic community from the center of Portugal more real.
