Publica-se um machado de bronze pertencente ao museu da TU Bergakademie Freiberg (Alemanha), anteriormente Academia de Minas de Freiberg, para onde foi levado em finais do século XIX. A sua proveniência específica é desconhecida, mas sabe-se que foi encontrado numa das minas do concelho de Albergaria-a-Velha, muito provavelmente pertencente ao complexo de Telhadela que, então, se encontrava a ser explorado.

From the border, when it enters Portuguese territory, to the estuary area, the Tagus is approximately 230 km long. Upstream, in its international stretch, it is a river that runs narrowly and embedded in the plateaus of the Hesperic Massif, while downstream, after the mouth of the Zêzere, it becomes a plain river, entering the Cenozoic Basin and ending in a wide inland estuary near Lisbon. For the period in que...

É bem sabido que os últimos trinta anos trouxeram (têm vindo a trazer) para a Arqueologia portuguesa — a partir do Vale do Côa —, os maiores contributos sobre Arte Pré e Proto-histórica, de que resultaram, e falando apenas de publicações, muitas centenas de trabalhos com eco nas mais diversas latitudes e longitudes. Entre outras e para as mais recentes obras de referência, inclusive sínteses de carácter divulga...
This paper focuses on the study of a group of metal artefacts recently recovered during the archaeological excavations in Vila do Touro (Central Portugal), i.e., 19 artefacts and a small metallic inclusion embedded in a pottery sherd. The objects have been analysed by an X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometer to characterise the elemental composition of metal artefacts. A Scanning Electron Microscope with X-ray Microa...

No presente estudo analisamos nove machados de alvado procedentes do território a sul do rio Tejo, sendo na sua maioria machados com duas argolas. Este texto tem como base interpretativa um conjunto de dados empíricos aos quais se junta um quadro de análises químicas a que foram submetidos alguns destes artefactos. Estes materiais, infelizmente, carecem de um contexto específico, limitando o enquadramento arque...
The authors publish a Horizontal Wide Rim vase belonging to the Sousa de Oliveira Foundation (Ponta Delgada, Azores). Although its origins and context are still unknown, its typology seems to point to its origins in the Northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, probably the Portuguese territory. The chronology of the piece has been established at the Bronze Age and its importance has justified its study, which consti...
Bronze Age pins are rare in the Portuguese territory. Most of these artefacts were recovered during the 19th and early 20th century and the majority were find in settlements without any known archaeological context, or were random surface finds in the vicinity of archaeological sites. In the two last decades of the 20th century two Bronze Age pins (Alegrios, Idanha-a-Nova, Portugal and Tapada da Ajuda, Lisbon, ...
