XII-XIV), mediante a investigação dos seus hábitos funerários, dieta e mobilidade. Como tal, contribui também para o conhecimento da transição e das relações entre muçulmanos e cristãos no final do Garb Al-Andalus. Os hábitos alimentares e os padrões de mobilidade são arquivados no esqueleto durante o decurso da vida dos indivíduos, através da ingestão de componentes dietéticas, cuja composição química específica depende da natureza e do local de ingestão. A dieta e a mobilidade são investigadas principalmente através de três sistemas isotópicos, carbono, azoto e enxofre, e fornecem informações sobre o tipo de planta ingerida (δ13C), o nível trófico do consumidor (δ15N), e se as proteínas ingeridas provêm de ambiente marinho (δ15N, δ34S) ou dulcícola (δ34S). O presente trabalho centra-se nas urbes medievais de Loulé e Cacela-a-Velha e, mais especificamente, nas necrópoles da Quinta da Boavista (Loulé) e do Poço Antigo (Cacela-a-Velha). A primeira tem utilização almóada, entre os séculos XII e XIII, e a segunda tem utilização cristã, entre os séculos XIII e XIV.

This is especially true when different, overlapping, and potentially conflicting meanings coexist in the same location, as when distinct layers of the history of a site are unearthed by archaeology. Considering faith as confidence in the perpetuation of identities, an element common to both heritage and religion, this paper presents the results of a study of the heritagization process of a Christian chapel in Loulé (Algarve, Portugal), where traces of the city’s Islamic past were uncovered, and of the strategies implemented considering the site’s overlapping meanings. The results indicate that the embracement, rather than the suppression, of dissonant layers of significance in the heritagization of a religious site can contribute to a community’s richer sense of its enduring memory through a new dialogue wi...

This site was excavated in 1997, as an emergency intervention, during which two cesspits were discovered. These pits had a collection of Almohad ceramics, metal, bone and stone artifacts, and faunal remains. The faunal collection is composed for several species, mostly mammals. The identified animals by order of abundance are the following: rabbit, red deer, sheep and/or goat, rooster, pig and/or wild boar, horse and/or donkey and finally cat. The red deer is the largest source of meat, due to the absence of cattle in this site, which is not common in similar contexts.
