Old habits die slowly, and the Portuguese cultural agency has been a small-minded institution, busy with petty fights between groups of archeologists and petty power games. There seems to be no clear mission, no vision, and no strategy for Portugal’s cultural heritage. And, above all, there is no ambition or belief in the capacity of the public to engage and contribute. However, the inaction and contempt displayed by the Portuguese cultural agency toward the finders of the Tejo A site are disgraceful and show a level of incompetence that is difficult to justify.
