SUMMARY: The fast energetic transition in the world needs large amounts of mineral resources that are currently scarce. For the suppression of these needs, new mineral deposits must be found, demanding the development of new exploration techniques. Currently, in several metalogenetic provinces, surface deposits are rare. In the Iberian Pyrite Belt, geophysical techniques, namely gravimetry and electromagnetics,...

he Roman town of Ammaia (in Marvão Region) is considered one of the most important recent findings of the Roman presence in Portuguese territory. It was settled in Republican times and abandoned in the seventh century. In this research, 17 masonry mortars and renders from the West Tower (South Gate), the residential area near the West Tower, the macellum, the peristylium, the public bath building, the podium of...
Candida parapsilosis emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen, causing candidaemia worldwide. Nosocomial outbreaks triggered by this species have been frequently described, particularly in cancer patients. For a better understanding of its epidemiology, several typing methods are used and microsatellite analysis has been reported as highly discriminant. The main objective of this work was to study C. para...

Garvão foi um importante local sagrado da Idade do Ferro II, onde em 1982 foi acidentalmente descoberto um impressionante depósito votivo [1]. Na escavação foram recuperados uma enorme variedade de materiais, sobretudo cerâmica, os quais foram depositados intencionalmente e cuidadosamente organizados de modo a optimizar o espaço disponível. A cerâmica recuperada mostra que durante a Idade do Ferro este sítio ar...
A Idade do Ferro na Península Ibérica é um período de sucessivas transformações sociais e políticas, muitas vezes resultando em conflitos. Simultaneamente, as civilizações semitas (seja, fenícia ou púnica) controlam o Sul da Península Ibérica com a presença de cidades autónomas com fortes ligações comerciais e culturais ao Mediterrâneo. Neste contexto geral, em torno de 200 a.C., Garvão é, provavelmente, territ...
In 1982, a votive deposit was discovered in Garvão (SW Portugal) revealing an important Iron Age II holy site. The pottery recovered shows that during Iron Age this archeological site was a merging geostrategic point of the Iberian societies with strong influences of the Mediterranean world and the Iberia celtic influences. Raw materials used by these communities provide essential information to understand spec...
Foi efectuado um estudo de monitorização da poluição atmosférica, na região de Évora, utilizando líquenes como bioindicadores. Nos três locais de amostragem, dois próximos de redes viárias com tráfego médio a intenso e outro situado numa área de montado, procedeu-se à inventariação, recolha e mapeamento das espécies liquénicas presentes sobre oliveiras. Das espécies identificadas, seleccionaram-se: Flavoparmeli...
This work presents a geochemical study conducted on the abandoned Tinoca Copper mine (southeast Portugal) to evaluate the potential hazard in surrounding areas particularly the effect on the Abrilongo River Dam which receivesthe acid waters from the mine watershed. The characterization of the area was performed over a period of 3 y and involved the study of waters, sediments and mine wastes. A sequential extrac...
