Work & Activities

Although from 1920 onwards he centred almost exclusively on stuydying and investigating Prehistory, Etnography and Archeology we must not forget his literary production. Many literary essays and articles, both in Castilian and Galician language, were inserted in newspapers such as Nós, La Noche, Galicia Emigrante or in collective books such as Paisaxe e Cultura, Homaxe a Ramón O. Pedrayo. In 1920, he published the essay titled Dos nosos tempos in the first number of the magazine Nós and described the spiritual situation of the Group Nós at that moment. This essay implied the beginning of his vocations as supporter of Galician autonomy, although he did not give up Literature definitively. In 1922, he published his first archaeological work titled La Mansión de Aquis Quesequerius in Nós starting the Archaeology section in the magazine. On 28th April 1924 he became a member of the Seminary of Galician Studies with his work A edade de ferro na Galiza.In 1962, four years after his death, the publishing house Galaxia compiled 32 of his essays written in Galician language in the book Prosas Galegas (republished in 1971). It is a selection of works: literary works such as O trasno na vila, O poema da seca, Trono, Néboa, Sementeira..., texts about the writers of Ourense Curros, Lamas Carvajal and Otero Pedrayo and archaeological-theme essays such as Noite na Citania.
