Abstract (EN): This paper is based on the study of the archaeological record and the samples collected in the enclosure-monument of Crasto de Palheiros and discusses the interpretative possibilities of: a. the use of different areas of the site in which samples of macro-remains and faunal remains were sampled; b. the intentional sealing of contexts and depositions related to food and/or socially restricted meals. The fact that in this Mediterranean ecosystem cattle represent a major social investment in their maintenance, their slaughter and consumption, must be connected to the social obligations of the communities that relate their identity to Crasto (i.e. as their regional political and social centre) is considered.
