Dehumanization, Segregation and Emotions in Past European Psychiatric Institutions
This paper investigates the lived experiences of individuals confined within two major European psychiatric institutions, Miguel Bombarda Hospital in Portugal and the Cadillac-sur-Garonne psychiatric hospital in France, between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Using a people-centred approach, we integrate spatial analysis, archival research, material culture and oral testimony to examine how these institutions worked as spaces of social se…
Hours Rock Art
This paper explores a unique case of contemporary rock art on a cement wall at Ponta dos Corvos, Portugal. Over 60 years, individuals carved names, dates, symbols, and messages on the wall, transforming it into a palimpsest of personal and collective memory. What began as informal graffiti has become an archaeological record that reflects the identities, emotions and social practices of successive generations. By applying different methods and an…
Capturing emotions in the factory
Multisensorial Experiences in Early Modern Artefacts
Archaeology of loneliness
Although the study of emotions in archaeology has increased considerably in recent years, loneliness remains understudied. This paper aims to challenge that bias and demonstrate how identifying and exploring loneliness can provide invaluable insights into the human experience, enabling a greater understanding of past societies and their social dynamics. This study, bridging sciences and humanities, aims to promote a debate to address the gap in t…
A different approach to similarity networks in Archaeology - Similarity Network Fusion
Since its earliest application in the 1970s, network analysis has become increasingly popular in both theoretical and GIS-based archaeology. Yet, applications of material networks remained relatively restricted. This paper describes a specific kind of material network, so called similarity networks, and presents a new network analysis method to approach them: Similarity Network Fusion (SNF)
Automatic ceramic identification using machine learning. Lusitanian amphorae and Faience. Two Portuguese case studies
This article presents a novel approach to classifying archaeological artefacts using machine learning, specifically deep learning, rather than relying on traditional, time-consuming human-based methods. By employing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), this approach aims to expedite and enhance the identification process, making it more accessible to a wider audience. The study focuses on two types of artefacts- Roman Lusitanian amphorae (2nd-5t…
Networking Social Behaviours in a 19th-Century Cemetery
This paper aims to study one of Lisbon’s 19th-century cemeteries, Ajuda, from a network theory point of view, joining social organization and network theory from a movement and visibility perspective. We will study movement networks, bearing in mind when applying our method that cemeteries are organized as cities with streets and “houses” (tombs), and try to understand whether the location of these monuments took into consideration the places whe…
Synaesthetic landscapes
In 1781, a book discussing the relationship between cats and dogs was published in Lisbon. Among the illustrations, there is a representation of a palace, more precisely the Marquess of Ponte de Lima palace in Mafra, Portugal. This illustration reveals how this space was lived and felt not only by the observer but also by all the human and non-human agents that circulated and existed in this space. The palace still exists, it is a public building…
A ânfora vinária lusitana 3
O presente artigo faz uma análise comparativa estatística de alguns atributos morfológicos da Lusitana 3, nas duas regiões produtoras, o Sado e o Tejo, situadas na costa ocidental da provincia da Lusitania. Esta análise foi feita a partir de uma reapreciação dos dados não quantificados, publicados, relativos a Abul e Pinheiro, e, sobretudo, de uma análise quantificada dos espólios do Porto dos Cacos e do Zambujalinho. A análise dos perfis complet…
Spatial Statistical Analysis of Shipwreck Sites
Spatial statistical analysis is almost absent from research on underwater archaeological contexts. However, the information obtained using this approach would allow the reconstruction of depositional dynamics and the exploration of distribution patterns related to the ships’ on-board organization. This paper proposes a six-step methodology that will contribute to reducing the current gap in the use of spatial statistical analysis of shipwreck sit…
Circulation in Seventeenth-Century Lisbon (Portugal)
By the 17th century, Lisbon was a large and complex city—the capital of a large empire in which thousands of people and goods originating from different places around the world circulated. Yet the city was still organized according to its medieval footprint, one consequence of which was numerous documented traffic problems. In 1686, King Pedro II decreed that places in Lisbon where the problems were most recurrent should be marked with signs esta…
Wealth in Religious and Secular Contexts
Wealth differentials in archaeological sites are a frequently studied topic, but social differentiation approaches are rarely applied to different contexts within a wider territory, especially in Portugal. In this article, the authors discuss the differences in wealth and inequality through the consumption of tablewares from fifteen sites across Portugal dated from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries ad . The archaeological evidence derives…
Why Did Cities Evolve in Gharb Al-Andalus? Network analysis as a potential method for charting city growth
The Muslim presence in the Iberian Peninsula has been closely associated with urban centres since the 8th century. Using an approach based on Network Theory, the purpose of this article is to understand and debate the influence that various cities exerted on each other through communication routes during the Islamic presence in the Gharb Al-Andalus – now in modern-day Portugal - and how this influence affected the growth of those cities. This stu…
