Evidence of late Roman glass production in Southern Lusitania (Ossonoba, Faro, Portugal)
The excavation of numbers 32 and 34 on Calle Francisco Barreto, in Faro (Portugal), in 2017, identified some of the remains of a 2nd-century AD fish-salting factory in the industrial area of Ossonoba. Once this factory ceased operating, its structures were given other uses until their final abandonment in the 6th century AD, including the construction of a glass furnace in the central courtyard, found in association with glass-working remains and…
Cerámica fina altoimperial de la fábrica de salazón de la calle Francisco Barreto en Ossonoba (Faro, Portugal)
La excavación arqueológica realizada en la calle Francisco Barreto, en Faro (Portugal), permitió identificar una nueva unidad de preparados de pescado, que se integraba en una zona de cariz industrial de la antigua ciudad romana de Ossonoba. La excavación permitió recuperar un abundante conjunto material, cuyo estudio y publicación permitirá profundizar en el conocimiento de este complejo. Parte de los materiales cerámicos ya han sido dados a con…
Producing Garum in Mauretania Tingitana
Significance of fossils in Roman times
Although the collection of fossils by humans is known from the Palaeolithic, the occurrence of trilobite remains in archaeological contexts is particularly rare worldwide, previously documented by specimens from sites in Western Europe, North America, South Africa and Australia. This article reports the discovery of an eleventh known trilobite found in an archaeological context, from a Roman settlement dating from the 1st-3rd centuries CE, excava…
Roman Atlantic garum
The Romans were among the first societies to extensively exploit fish resources, establishing large-scale salting and preservation plants where small pelagic fish were fermented to produce sauces such as garum. Here, the authors demonstrate that, despite being crushed and exposed to acidic conditions, usable DNA can be recovered from ichthyological residues at the bottom of fish-salting vats. At third-century AD Adro Vello (O Grove), Galicia, the…
Socio-economic impacts of the exposure to Roman ceramics in the inland Iron Age communities of the NW Iberian Peninsula
How did the first ever exposure to Roman imported material culture at inland sites affect local material culture practices? What does this reveal about the speed and nature of cross-cultural influence between Roman and Iron Age communities? And about the specific dynamics of integration within the Roman Empire of inland sites? Our ability to address these key questions about the exposure of Iron Age communities to the Roman world is hampered by a…
Lost Heritage. Architectural Replacement of an Atrium and a Courtyard of the Roman Houses of Armea (Allariz, Ourense)
Francisco Conde-Valvís’s so-called “stone treasure” is a set of unique carved stone pieces, such as bases, column shafts, a mortar, and decorated fragments (trisqueles and rosettes), found during the 2018 excavation campaign in the Cibdá de Armea (Allariz, Ourense). They had been piled up and re-buried—no records existed as to where—at the western end of the Finca de A Atalaia, which was excavated in the 1950s under the direction of Conde-Valvís …
Origen, evolución y desarrollo de un castillo medieval del interior de Galicia. El caso del castillo roquero de San Salvador de Todea (Allariz, Ourense)
En el marco de tres proyectos sucesivos de investigación llevados a cabo por la Universidad de Vigo se descubrió, excavó y documentó el castillo roquero de San Salvador de Todea, cercano a la villa de Allariz. Se trata de un yacimiento articulado en dos plataformas, que cuenta con dos tumbas antropomorfas en la inferior y la fortificación propiamente dicha en la superior. San Salvador de Todea presenta las características propias de los castillos…
La circulación de cerámicas a través de la cuenca del río Miño durante el final de la Edad del Hierro a partir de la Arqueología y Arqueometría
En este trabajo, presentamos un estudio completo, que incluye diferentes perspectivas de análisis, de una de las formas cerámicas más atípicas del conjunto material de la Edad del Hierro del noroeste peninsular: los vasos cilíndricos. Estas piezas, en sus diferentes formatos, son un tipo cerámico propio de la cuenca media y/o inferior del río Miño, encontrado en contextos de cambio de Era. A lo largo del texto, describimos en profundidad su tipol…
Lost archaeological heritage
The medieval castle of San Salvador de Todea constitutes a remarkable paradigm for the rock castles of Galicia and the northwest of Spain, attending to its features but also to the destruction it was subjected. The hill where it stands was the object of various archaeological interventions led from 2016 to 2018, that identified the site as a medieval fortress and recovered part of its structures. Being one of few medieval castles of the 12th-15th…
D photogrammetry as a tool for studying erosive processes at a Roman coastal site
Rising sea levels, along with other biological and human factors, have increased erosion rates at a number of important sites located along the Atlantic coastline. Project GaltFish implemented a series of contingency measures to record some of these sites before they degraded further or totally disappeared. This process involved detailed photogrammetric recording of some of the sites under threat over a set period of time. One of the sites select…
Caracterización dos espazos domésticos culinarios da época romana en Galicia
Este estudio tiene como objetivo caracterizar los espacios culinarios de las viviendas romanas en el actual territorio gallego. Para esto, se han recopilado un total de cuarenta espacios domésticos con funciones culinarias de yacimientos de diversa tipología. Posteriormente, se analizan en detalle siete casos concretos, entre ellos algunos inéditos hasta el momento. Por último, a partir del catálogo de cocinas y de los estudios de caso, se coment…
Traceological analysis of a singular artefact
The stone knapping industry is largely unknown from Galician Iron Age hillforts. Research into the material culture of these settlements is increasingly diverse, meaning this research is no longer reduced to techno-typological studies of pottery and metals, but also includes a wide range of approaches, including anthracological and carpological analyses, macrolithic tools, and so on. However, there have still been no studies on knapped stone tool…
