Resumo (PT): Este texto realizará a síntese dos sítios com cerâmica campaniforme na região norte de Portugal e bacia do Douro, discutindo sumariamente as bases sobre as quais assentam as propostas interpretativas anteriores. Dando particular realce a dois contextos o do Crasto de Palheiros e o da Pastoria, bem como a outros que têm datas de C14, defenderemos que o fabrico, circulação e uso da cerâmica campaniforme corresponde não a um fenómeno unitário, temporalmente curto, mas antes plurifacetado na sua longa duração de c. de 8 séculos (entre c. de 2700 e 2000/1900 a.C.), e, bem assim, das implicações inerentes a essa longa cronologia. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: campaniforme; Norte e Centro de Portugal; cerâmica; estilísticas locais e regionais.

Abstract (EN): This paper will perform the analytical synthesis of the set of sites that have bell beaker ceramics (campaniforme) in northern Portugal and the Douro basin region, briefly discussing the bases on which the previous interpretative proposals rests. With particular emphasis on two contexts ¿ Crasto de Palheiros and Pastoria ¿ as well as others that have C14 dates, we will argue that the manufacture, circulation, and use of bell beaker ceramics corresponds not to a unitary temporally short phenomenon, but rather a mutifaceted one given its long duration of about eight centuries (between about 2700 and 2000/1900 BC). So, our discussion would focus on the interpretative implications that may stem from this long term use. KEYWORDS: bell-baker; Northern and Central Portugal; local and regional ceramic stylistics.
