Formed since the 1980s, the collection includes a range of archaeological materials that have been gathered, as well as from archaeological digs. Owing to its unique character, the highlight of the latter is the collection of Islamic boards and playing pieces, which has been declared to be of regional or even national importance; it comprises 39 boards carved on schist slabs, some complete, others in fragments, of six different types: Nine Men’s Morris, Tapatan, Tabula, Soldier (?), Alquerque and Mancala III (?) and 18 small playing pieces, which came from a single archaeological site, the Old Castle of Alcoutim.
