Tracing Local Production and Agricultural Trade: A Multi-Analytical Study of Roman Amphorae at Conímbriga (Central Portugal)
Amphorae are a significant type of Roman pottery, serving as both transport containers and indicators of economic and technological practices across the Empire. Despite their importance in interpreting local economic dynamics in Roman Lusitania, the production origins, technological characteristics and functional roles of amphorae from Conímbriga in Portugal remain poorly understood. Previous research has focused primarily on typological comparis…

Vestígios de pintura em miliário romano da via nova (milha XXXI a Bracara Augusta), Norte de Portugal. Uma abordagem multidisciplinar
A presença de vestígios de cor em miliários é um facto raramente documentado. No Noroeste hispânico, onde a densidade de miliários romanos é bastante elevada, até ao momento, só se conhecem dois casos, sendo um deles objeto do presente estudo. O miliário em causa pertence à via XVIII do Itinerário de Antonino e foi identificado na milha XXXI a Bracara Augusta, nos anos 90 do passado século.O objetivo deste trabalho é, para lá da apresentação do m…

Later prehistoric tin mining in the Ervedosa mine (Vinhais, Portugal): Evidence and Context
New data on the Late Bronze Age / Early Iron Age metallurgy in Central Portugal. The contribution of Vila do Touro (Sabugal, Guarda)
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 Microanalysis System and an optical micros…
A Metalurgia De Inícios Do I Milénio A.C. No Centro De Portugal. Novos Dados Da Cachouça (Idanha-a-Nova)
Este estudo apresenta uma primeira revisão da metalurgia documentada no sítio da Cachouça (Idanha-a-Nova, Castelo Branco) procedente de trabalhos arqueológicos realizados em 1990. O conjunto analisado é constituído por 21 peças metálicas à base de cobre recolhidos em prospeção e provenientes das sondagens I e II. Do ponto de vista tipológico, os metais da Cachouça, apesar de muito fragmentados e incompletos, apresentam algumas especificidades úni…
The Power of Combining MA-XRF, Infrared Reflectography and Digital Microscopy to Unveil the Production of the 16th Century Illuminated Charter of Évora: What May Be Hidden under a Painted Surface
In recent decades, many works have been devoted to the study of materials and painting techniques used to produce illuminated manuscripts. If the analyses were once largely invasive, the approach has become increasingly more in situ and non-invasive over the years. This work presents the results of the analysis of the Portuguese Charter of Évora, an illuminated manuscript that dates back to 1501, combining an elemental mapping technique (MA-XRF) …
The “Ferradeira” individual burial of Herdade do Álamo (Beja): Facets of social change in the late 3rd millennium BC in South Portugal
The individual burial of the Herdade do Álamo, located in Beja municipality, South Portugal, is presented along with its bioanthropological study, radiocarbon dating and isotopic approaches on diet and mobility. The results show a male, with a terrestrial diet and youth mobility, dating from the last quarter of the 3rd millennium BC. The archaeometallurgical study of the metal votive assemblage (one tongue dagger and three Palmela points) indicat…
Art Casting in Portuguese 19th Century Industrial Foundries: A Multi-Analytical Study of an Emblematic Copper-Based Alloy Monument
The outdoor sculpture of the first Portuguese king, D. Afonso Henriques (c. 1109–1185 AD), placed in Guimarães (North Portugal), is one of the most emblematic national sculptures. Created in 1887 by António Soares dos Reis, it possesses a remarkable symbolic value in the presumed birthplace of the king. In addition to the artistic and heritage importance of the monument, it is one of the few sculptures cast by a Portuguese industrial foundry in t…
Study of a Late Bronze Age Casting Mould and Its Black Residue by 3D Imaging, pXRF, SEM-EDS, Micro-FTIR and Micro-Raman
In the present work, a fragment of a stone mould recently found in Galicia (NW Spain) was studied by multiple analytical techniques approach involving 3D optical imaging reconstruction to obtain data about the shape of the mould, typology of artefact produced, and distribution of a black residue at the surface of the mould and pXRF, SEM-EDS, micro-FTIR, and micro-Raman to investigate the nature of the black residue. The study shows that the mould…
A Multi-Analytical Study of Egyptian Funerary Artifacts from Three Portuguese Museum Collections
A diachronic, multi-analytical approach combining EDXRF, μFTIR, μRaman, SEM-EDS, and Py-GC/MS has been adopted with the aim to study for the first time the painting materials used to decorate Egyptian funerary masks and sarcophagi ranging from the Late Period to the Roman Period and stored in the Archaeological National Museum (MNA) and the Carmo Archaeological Museum (MAC) of Lisbon and the Natural History Museum of the University in Oporto (MNH…
La metalurgia de influencia fenicia en el centro de Portugal. Tres puntas de flecha de arpón lateral de Monte Fiegueiró (Ansião)
This paper presents the results of a study carried out on three previously unpublished Iron Age socketed arrowheads with spur from Monte Figueiró –Central Portugal–, a site located between the Tagus and Mondego rivers. This region is of the utmost importance to understanding how Mediterranean influences penetrated along the Iberian Atlantic coast and up to the inland Portuguese territories, through Phoenician traders, since the Early Iron Age –8t…
A ocupação Pré-histórica do Cabeço de Caria Talaia (Sabugal, Portugal)
Neste artigo realizou-se uma abordagem à ocupação Pré-histórica do Cabeço de Caria Talaia, no concelho do Sabugal (Portugal). A intervenção arqueológica desenvolvida em 2008 e 2009 determinou a natureza e a cronologia dessa ocupação, de uma fase avançada entre o Bronze Médio e os inícios do Bronze Final. Apesar do mau estado de conservação das estruturas, os trabalhos permitiram assinalar um local de habitação e, entre os materiais recuperados, u…
O Tumulus 1 do Souto (Abrantes, Médio Tejo): Novos contributos para o conhecimento das materialidades do mundo funerário do Bronze Final no Centro de Portugal
O artigo apresenta e discute os resultados obtidos das análises arqueométricas realizadas sobre 4 fragmentos de metal, 1 fragmento de cerâmica de uma grande urna e sobre as marcas/incrustações encontradas na superfície de um pequeno púcaro procedentes de um contexto funerário de incineração atribuído ao Bronze Final (BF), o Tumulus 1 do Souto (Abrantes, Centro de Portugal). O sítio arqueológico e os materiais recuperados já foram publicados por u…
