Pedra das Gamelas (Santana do Campo, Arraiolos, Central Alentejo)
The issue of rock cut basins/versus natural basins is not a new one. Here I include images of a natural outcrop with carved antropomorphs (cruciforms) on the sides and a natural basin on the top. It has been first published by Vergílio Correia (El Neolítico de Pavia, 1921). This author comments the difficulty of distinguishing natural and artifitial basins (as well as the "normal" cup marks) suggesting that the latest would have been inspired on the former.
