在葡萄牙旧石器时代晚期的研究中，遗址的功能问题很少成为主要的焦点。这可能与对这一研究领域缺乏兴趣有关。然而，更有可能的是，这是由于相对较少的旧石器时代遗址的数据，允许认真研究网站的功能。在葡萄牙中部的皮卡雷罗洞穴，有各种各样的数据集，从F/G级到后期的抹大拉纪，足以进行这种类型的研究。这些是生境结构，石器文物，大型和中型动物，以及所有文物和动物大于1厘米的三维位置。基于对每个数据集的分析结果的解释，有可能重建这一特定水平的皮卡雷罗洞穴的网站功能。其中一个炉膛的形状非常大，有准备好的底座和周围的路面，以及动物的状况和多样性，表明它被用来加工兔子，红鹿和野猪的肉，可能是通过烟熏和烧烤。来自不同类型数据（石器、栖息地结构、空间利用和动物群）的所有证据表明，皮卡雷罗洞穴的F/G层是一项特定任务的结果，即处理兔子、红鹿和野猪的动物尸体。(c)2006年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
The issue of site function rarely has been a main focus in the study of Portuguese Upper Paleolithic. This fact may be related to a lack of interest in this research area. More likely, however, it is due to the fact that there are relatively few Paleolithic sites with data that allow a serious study of site function. At Picareiro Cave, central Portugal, there are various data sets from level F/G dated to the latter Magdalenian that are adequate for this type of research. These are habitat structures, lithic artifacts, macro- and mesofauna, as well as 3D location of all artifacts and fauna larger than 1 cm. Based on the interpretation of the analytical results of each data set, it is possible to reconstruct site function of this particular level of Picareiro Cave. The morphology of one of the hearths, being very large in size, with the base prepared and a pavement surrounding it, as well as the condition and diversity of fauna, indicates that it was used for processing the meat of rabbits, red deer, and wild boar, probably through smoking and grilling. All of the evidence from the different types of data (lithic artifacts, habitat structures, use of space, and fauna) indicate that Layers F/G of Picareiro Cave are the result of a specific task, that of processing animal carcasses of rabbits, red deer, and wild boar.
