Abstract
The Motas Megalithic Complex, intervened between 2014-2015, made it possible to increase the existing knowledge of this type of funerary phenomenon in the Alto Minho region, filling a spatial gap between the Portela do Pau and Litoral Minhoto nucleus. It presents unique constructive characteristics and dynamics, which may, eventually, explain its broad use/reuse. In this Complex, Bell Beakers were identified in two of the structures, one of them carrying the most extensive set of containers so far identified in Alto Minho. This existence connects the site with the Bell Beaker phenomenon at a regional level, making it possible to understand that the “Bell Beaker communities” who used Motas’ Complex, would be extremely open and permeable to new ideas, having reinterpreted, and made it theirs, a geographically extensive phenomenon
