RIBEIRO, Manuela C. S.; SILVA, António Manuel S. P. (2010) – Louça preta moderna e contemporânea de contextos arqueológicos da cidade do Porto

RESUMO No presente artigo apresentamos o resultado do estudo do espólio azulejar exumado no decorrer da intervenção arqueológica realizada na Fábrica de Louça de Massarelos, a primeira unidade industrial a laborar neste sector de atividade, que produziu, com algumas interrupções, entre 1764 e 1920. Esta fábrica produziu essencialmente louça doméstica, azulejos para revestimento de fachadas e peças ornamentais, de qualidade excecional. Apresentamos aqui os exemplares mais ilustrativos das produções da fábrica e propomos a identificação de três grandes fases de produção, traçando a sua evolução, de acordo com as suas características tecnológicas: a primeira de tradição artesanal, a segunda de semi-industrialização e a terceira de industrialização plena. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Arqueologia Industrial; Fábrica de Massarelos; Azulejo.

Lapa dos Louções is located in Serra de São Mamede, near the village of Esperança, in Arron-ches. Despite being known since the 60s, the iconographic repertoire remains practically unknown, without a systematic study of the existing schematic motifs. These integrate the painted schematic rock art cycle of the Iberian Peninsula, being part of the group of rock shelters that form the Arronches's cluster.

The Castle of Gaia is an exceptional archaeological site for the understanding of the Ancient human settlement in the terminal basin of the Douro. The protohistoric castro, that was the northern frontier of an old pre-Roman people named Turduli Veteres, increased its importance in the context of the Roman occupation and Late Antique period, until the times of the mythical king Ramiro and his struggles with the Moorish. Thus, the place cannot be disconnected from the historical-toponymic problematics of Cale, Portucale and the origins of Portuguese nationality. Numerous archaeological excavations, carried out since 1983, have revealed very significant traces about the size, monumentality and economic importance of that village, the seat of one of the medieval municipalities that formed the present municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia. Being the owner of some properties and a social equipment, Lar Pereira de Lima, at the top of the hill, Santa Casa da Misericórdia do Porto can play a fundamental role, in articulation with other entities, in the mission of unveiling, valuing and placing on tourism and cultural heritage´s agenda a chapter of first greatness in regional and national history.

The individuals exhumed from the Convent of Loios from Porto, which was object to intervention by rescue archaeology prior to the construction of the Intercontinental Hotel and the requalification of the Cardosas block, were partially studied in a master dissertation. They are presented within a wider context of funerary practices from the Lower Middle Ages to Modern Period, serving as a starting point to explore the importance of historical records combined with bioarchaeological data in order to reconstruct mortuary behaviour for the aforementioned timeline. The study of the individuals exhumed show some similarities with individuals exhumed from contemporaneous sites, as well as raising questions pertaining data preservation of historical and bioarchaeological information pertaining to funerary contexts.

Ponte de Lima: do passado ao presente, rumo ao futuro, 2020

A necrópole da Chã da Mourisca foi descoberta acidentalmente em 2010, tendo sido detetadas, na altura, três estruturas arqueológicas distintas. As primeiras duas encontravam-se nos perfis de um caminho em terra batida, onde foram visualizadas estruturas em negativo em cada um dos lados do caminho. Situado a cerca de 50m a norte deste caminho foi detetado um monumento megalítico de cariz funerário, e relativamente bem perceptível na paisagem. Após uma primeira intervenção arqueológica foi necessário realizar uma segunda escavação. Os dados obtidos durante as duas campanhas arqueológicas permitiram pôr a descoberto um conjunto de três sepulturas planas, uma fossa de perfil em "saco" entre outras estruturas de difícil caracterização com os dados até agora disponíveis. The Chã da Mourisca in the Bronze Age. An archaeological site in Refóios do Lima The Chã da Mourisca necropolis was accidentally discovered in 2010, with three distinct archaeological structures being detected at the time. The first two were found on the side view of a dirt path, where they were visualized on each side of the path. Located about 50m north of this path, a funerary megalithic monument was detected, and relatively well noticeable in the landscape. After the first archaeological intervention, a second excavation was necessary. The data captured during the two archaeological campains brought to light a set of three flat graves, a "bag" side view pit and other structures that are difficult to characterize with the data available so far.

The present work was developed within the scope of a curricular internship of the Master's Degree in Portuguese Art History of FLUP, which took place in the Municipal Division of Museums and Cultural Heritage of the Porto City Council. The main objective, resulting from a research process on medieval civil architecture in the city of Porto, was orientated towards the production of a guide on the theme. Therefore three different yet complementary research moments were chosen: theoretical basis using previous studies, cartography and in situ photographic collection of the examples of the typology and chronology studied, and the transmission of all theoretical knowledge through a guide, considering target audiences and the various ways of communicating heritage.
