Sondagens arqueológicas no Largo do Paço, Braga

Em Julho de 2014 procedeu-se ao Levantamento Arqueológico da Freguesia da Bemposta. Consequentemente, após conhecimento da intenção da União de Juntas das Freguesias de Pedrogão de S. Pedro e Bemposta em valorizar o espaço envolvente ao “Castelo de Bemposta”, nomeadamente o calcetamento da área de terra batida que circunda o monumento, foi estabelecido um projecto de execução de sondagens arqueológicas com o objectivo de determinar a existência de antigos vestígios de ocupação no local. Segundo a tradição, esta fortaleza medieval terá sido erguida durante a reconquista neo-goda e serviu como defesa nas lutas entre portugueses e castelhanos. Este artigo pretende divulgar os dados obtidos na campanha de intervenção concretizada em Dezembro de 2014, resultante dos trabalhos realizados em três sondagens abertas em torno da estrutura militar, que viriam a revelar claros indícios de assentamento populacional, nomeadamente estruturas e artefactos, de época medieval, particularmente durante o período da ocupação árabe do território. (...) In July 2014 we preceded whit an Archaeological Survey at Bemposta territory. Consequently, after knowing the intention of the Union of Parishes of Pedrogão de São Pedro e Bemposta to valorize “Bemposta Castle” by pave the monument surrounding area, a project was established implementing archaeological excavation in order to determine the existence of ancient remains in place.According to tradition, this medieval fortress have been erected during the Christian reconquest and served as a defence in the war between Portuguese and Castilians. This article aims to disclose the data obtained in the intervention completed in December 2014, resulting from investigation carried out in three trenches open around the military structure, which revealed clear signs of population settlement, including structures and artefacts from medieval times, particularly during the period of Arab occupation of the territory.

This article presents a summary of the results from the archaeological campaigns which took place in 2020 and 2021, in the Castro of Madalena, at Vila Nova de Gaia. The excavations in this small Atlantic Iron Age settlement, allowed us to collect the first data related to the dwelling structures and adjacent areas. We highlight the preferential use of building materials such as clay, cob, grit, and plant elements, which differ from more traditionally used stone elements. These ones emerge as a finishing element, suggesting the existence of mixed building materials. Also, is of particular interest the evidence of walkways, built with similar materials, surrounding the houses. We believe that further research will provide an important contribute to increase the knowledge of the internal organization of regional Iron Age settlements, prior to the Roman domain.

Presentation of the results of emergency archaeological survey carried out in 1997 at the Paço do Patim, located in the historic centre of Torres Vedras. This intervention made it possible to register the stratigraphy of the place and showed a considerable rise of the ground throughout the times, namely from the 16th century, partially due to the cyclic floods of the Sizandro River. Structures belonging to buildings from the second quarter of the 16th to the 20th centuries were also identified.

Arising from the restoration and rehabilitation project of the Parish Church of São Tiago Maior of Lustosa (Lousada) there were carried out some archaeological evaluation studies in order to ensure the preservation of any archaeological and osteological traces that could be affected by the works of rehabilitation of the monument. The intervention confirmed the intense use of de graveyard space over more than three centuries, particularly during the nineteenth century. Still, even though the universe of excavated graves remit much of the exhumed remains to the eighteenth and nineteenth century, detection of graves dug directly in the soil, with anthropomorphic form, as well as the registration of several post holes, sealed by burials dated from the first quarter of the eighteenth century, indicate the presence of traces associated with the foundational moment of the temple.
