The archaeological site of Leceia is a Chalcolithic settlement with one of the largest amounts of metal artefacts in the Lisbon peninsula, although the absence of ores and smelting remains suggests that local metallurgical operations were essentially related to the last stages of the chaine opératoire, namely the casting and forging of artefacts. In fact, the local archaeological record shows several ingots inc...

Background: the support provided by nurses to family caregivers in the transition to the role causes challenges in preparing of mastery in care and in the documental process. Information systems should be an essential tool in the decision-making of the professionals, allowing the continuity and quality of care provided and the achievement of health gains. Objective: evaluate the changes in the nurse documentati...
In the present study, 37 lead artefacts were characterised to identify possible lead sources allowing to establish trade fluxes concerning food and textile products during Roman times. These artefacts were uncovered by dredging works at the Arade River estuary (Portimão). The city of Portimão (Lusitania province) was an important harbour, where several fish-processing factories were installed, and Arade River p...
The recent discovery and archaeological excavation of two funerary structures located at Horta do Pinheiro 5 (south of Portugal) shed new light on the early times of the Southwestern Middle Bronze Age. These structures, a pit and a hypogeum, both associated with another pit, deepen our knowledge about the funerary rituals practiced at that time. Grave goods recorded in both structures stand out for their opulen...
The recently excavated necropolises of Esfola (Beja) and Monte do Bolor 1/2 (Beja) display a characteristic architecture and distinctive funerary items that refer to the seventh to sixth century BC. The work comprises a microanalytical study of copper-based artefacts, some of them symbols of status, recovered in these necropolises (Tartesic belt buckles, body grooming instruments and different types of fibulae,...
No presente trabalho foram estudadas 77 amostras constituídas por 44 fragmentos de canalizações de chumbo de Conimbriga, 21 de Augusta Emerita, seis de Mirobriga, e três amostras recolhidas em Arucci/Turobriga, uma em Fuente Seca e duas em Cortalago, sendo este último local de amostragem localizado nas proximidades da Faixa Piritosa Ibérica na província da Baetica. O estudo comparativo com os dados publicados d...
Although in recent years the prehistoric metallurgy of southwestern Iberian Peninsula has become increasingly well understood, the southernmost region still requires additional research. This work presents the technological study of artefacts from burial contexts located in this area, namely the necropolises of Anta do Malhão and Soalheironas (Algarve region). Typologies of metalwork and pottery ascribe the sin...
