Dos rios e dos peixes durante o calcolítico no Alto Douro Português
Vale, Ana; Costa, Cláudia; Gabriel, Sónia; Rodrigues, Matilde; Gomes, Sérgio; Cardoso, João MuralhaThis text aims to contribute to the understanding of the Chalcolithic walled enclosure of Castanheiro do Vento (Horta do Douro, Vila Nova de Foz Côa) as a place forged in a profuse network of practices, from which territories and landscapes were activated. To this end, it analyses its relationship with the surrounding watercourses, as well as the remains of ichthyofauna recovered during excavation. By demonstra...
A multidisciplinary approach to characterise the Early-Middle Holocene palaeoen...
Costa, Ana Maria; Freitas, Maria da Conceição; Jiménez-González, Marco A.; Jiménez-Morillo, Nicasio T.; Barrocas Dias, Cristina; Val-Péon, CristinaIn this paper we present the results of a multidisciplinary study performed in the Carrasqueira valley, a tributary of the River Sado (SW Portugal), aimed at characterising the Holocene environmental conditions during the late Mesolithic occupation of this valley. Our findings are based on a 13.5 m long sediment core (Arez3) collected on the alluvial plain close to a late Mesolithic shell midden, the Arapouco s...
Your horse is a donkey! Identifying domesticated equids from Western Iberia usi...
Paladugu, Roshan; Richter, Kristine Korzow; Valente, Maria João; Gabriel, Sónia; Detry, Cleia; Warinner, Christina; Dias, Cristina BarrocasSkeletal remains of two equid species, Equus caballus (horse) and Equus asinus (donkey), have been found in archaeological contexts throughout Iberia since the Palaeolithic and Chalcolithic periods, respectively. These two species play different economic and cultural roles, and therefore it is important to be able to distinguish between the two species to better understand their relative importance in the past ...
LUSITANIAN AMPHORAE CONTENTS
Vaz-Pinto, Inês; Morais, Rui; Fabião, Carlos; Oliveira, César; Gabriel, SóniaRoman amphorae produced in Lusitania were usually considered as fish product containers since amphora kilns were mainly known on the coast where they co-existed with fish-salting workshops, and the rare tituli picti known confirmed this assumption. Over the past 25 years the progress in research has brought up new issues: the contents of two flat-base types was questioned and wine was the new content proposed f...
Towards collaborative research between veterinarians, zooarchaeologists and gen...
Pires, Ana Elisabete; Batista, Mariana; Alves, Maria Margarida Ferreira; Ferreira, Dulce; Gabriel, Sónia; Braga, Giovana; Soares, Maria JoãoThere is a need to shift the research culture and embrace collaborative partnerships, involving multiple teams with complementary expertise. Anatomical examination of animal bones found at archaeological sites may provide information regarding species, age and sex identification and find evidence of past animal use. Additionally, animal remains may help reconstruct prehistoric human-animal relations and deduce ...

Gabriel, Sónia; Soares, Joaquina; Silva, Carlos Tavares daO sítio do Vidigal é um dos locais do Mesolítico Tardio da planície costeira entre Sines e o Cabo Sardão. O sítio localiza-se na margem sul do Barranco do Queimado, a uma altitude de ca. 50 m e ca. 2 km de distância da costa actual. Os restos de peixes analisados foram recuperados durante a primeira fase de trabalhos arqueológicos, realizados em 1975. Mais de 80% dos restos identificados nas camadas C1 e C2 per...

Fabião, Carlos; Filipe, Iola; Dias, Maria Isabel; Trindade, Maria José; Prudêncio, Maria Isabel; Gabriel, Sónia; Coelho, Manuela DiasA partir de uma intervenção arqueológica de contrato realizada pela ERA-Arqueologia S. A. no lugar da Casa do Governador da Torre de Belém, em Lisboa, foi identificada uma grande unidade de produção de preparados de peixe da Época Romana. A relevância do local suscitou a criação de um projecto de investigação, que obteve financiamento da FCT, que tem por objectivo estudar o sítio em si, no contexto da economia ...
