Three archaeological campaigns in the Castro of Alvarelhos (Trofa), from 2020 to 2022, made in the scope of CAESAR project, led to the identification of several domestic structures from the 2nd cent. BC to the 4th-5th cent. AD. Sediment samples meant for archaeobotanical analysis were recovered in these contexts and studied at CIBIO-BIOPOLIS. Its study revealed several crops such as rye and millet but also evid...
O presente artigo efectua uma primeira apresentação do concheiro neolítico do Lisandro (Mafra, Lisboa, Portugal), numa abordagem interdisciplinar. Identificado em 2017 e objecto de uma escavação de emergência em 2018, Lisandro apresenta um depósito conquífero entre dunas, evidenciando uma ocupação exclusivamente relacionada com o consumo de fauna malacológica (bivalves e gastrópodes) datada do 3º quartel do 5º ...
O castanheiro-europeu (Castanea sativa), de agora em diante designado por castanheiro, é uma fagácea (Fagaceae) (Figura 1). As fagáceas são uma família de plantas com flor (angiospérmicas) com 9 géneros e cerca de 1000 espécies, de ampla distribuição no Hemisfério Norte, com um pico de diversidade no Sudoeste da Ásia e nas ilhas do oeste do Oceano Pacífico (Manos et al., 2001). Em termos evolutivos, são próxima...
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) diversity richness results from a complex domestication history over multiple historical periods. Here, we used whole-genome resequencing to elucidate different aspects of its recent evolutionary history. Our results support a model in which a central domestication event in grapevine was followed by postdomestication hybridization with local wild genotypes, leading to the presence ...

In this paper we present a case of a double burial (T.310/326) from the Phoenician Punic necropolis of Monte Sirai (Carbonia, Sardinia, Italy). This peculiar tomb, which comprises the inhumation of a woman, presents unique constructive features, namely a big stone cover that confers a high visual reference to the necropolis. Furthermore, a cooking pot with two handles was laid on the tibias during the final clo...
The Iron Age site of Crastoeiro (Mondim de Basto, Vila Real, North Portugal) revealed an interesting set of pits opened in the bedrock. Soil samples were collected from these and a carpological study was carried out in order to obtain information about crop diversity and characterize the storage structures. Nineteen samples from 4 pits yielded important results for the understanding of agriculture and storage p...
Inserida no Plano de Salvaguarda Patrimonial do Aproveitamento Hidroeléctrico do Baixo Sabor, a escavação arqueológica da Quinta do Medal (EP 201) é uma das únicas desta intervenção cuja diacronia atinge a época contemporânea. A recolha de 26 amostras sedimentares com conteúdo arqueobotânico permitiu uma análise antracológica e carpológica do sítio que nos permite agora ajudar a recriar elementos do que poderia...
