Plastic Adrift: Archaeology, Relations And Multiple Contexts (2022)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tânia Casimiro. Joel Santos.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. For three decades now we have been noticing the presence of plastic in Portuguese beaches, a mixture of things forgotten by seasonal visitors and plastics that are adrift until washed ashore. While most archaeologists would only consider it an archaeological commodity once it is deposited in the beach we aim to go further and...

Ports and port systems in the Modern and Contemporary periods within a comparative study of the Portuguese and British maritime empires. (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Catarina Garcia.

Islands and ports, as structural elements, have often been essential to the building of empires, so we aim to understand the different solutions used for the transformation of the occupied island and port landscapes, and how this occupation ordered or helped the definition of expansion models. Using both archaeological interpretation and cartographic and documentary sources, the intent is to show how the construction of structures proceeded, and how the creation of administrative systems worked...

Portuguese ceramics in Plymouth (UK) (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tania Manuel Casimiro. Sarah Newstead.

Although Portuguese ceramics are present in many cities across England, Plymouth is an extraordinary case of quantity and quality. Thousands of fragments of red coarsewares and tin glaze wares were identified across the city. One of the most extraordinary aspects is related to the type of these artefacts which are very similar to what Portuguese populations would use in Portugal. This aspect motivated the search for people and ships taking such cargo from Portugal and there is evidence of a...

Portuguese Faience and its worldwide distribution (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rosa Varela Gomes. Tânia M Casimiro. Mário Varela Gomes.

The project "Portuguese Faience (PF) across the world (16th to 18th centuries )", sponsored by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia aims to study the distribution of PF across the world. Not that well recognized outside Portugal, the PF production started in middle 16th century in Lisbon and in the early 17th century it was already being made in other workshops across the country. The huge development of this ware was in part related to Portuguese commercial intensification, namely in its...

Portuguese Faience in Brazil’s 17th century Capital (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only João Pedro Gomes.

The colonial Brazilian territory, organized and structured following the metropolitan model of society and administration, suffers an economic convulsion after the dynastic union in 1580 that modifies a major part of its social and cultural structure. The Portuguese faience fragments collected in the Praça da Sé, Colégio dos Jesuítas and in the remains of the shipwreck Galeão Santíssimo Sacramento (all in the city of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil), are testimonies of the social and economic matrix...

Portuguese finds in Velha Goa (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian Wilson.

As the former capital of the Estado da Índia, the Portuguese influence on Goa is evident throughout the region—in its architecture, cuisine, music, religious practices, etc. In Velha Goa (or Old Goa), perhaps the most striking example of this influence is the well-preserved Catholic churches that dominate the landscape. However, beyond the few excavations in Velha Goa that centered on these churches, there is a limited archaeological understanding of material culture outside of ecclesiastical...

Portuguese fine red coarsewares (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mário Varela Gomes. Rosa Varela Gomes.

Known outside Portugal as "Merida type red micaceous wares" or "Portuguese Merida-type ware", and believed to have originated in the Western Castilla and latter from Alentejo, called "terra sigillata from Estremoz", "redware", "feldspar inlaid redware", or modelled ceramics, these ceramics originated in southern Portugal. The production presents very diverse but elegant shapes crossing Classic, Islamic and Baroque influences with specific characteristics such as clean red fabrics, plastic...

Portuguese olive jars. Production and distribution (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ricardo C Silva. Tânia M Casimiro. Sarah Newstead.

For many years, archaeologists believed that the type of jar known as an 'olive jar' was exclusively made in Southern Spain. The possibility that Portuguese kilns also produced these jars was not considered, despite these botijas, being frequent references in Portuguese documents, particularly in reference to ships' cargos. Until recently only a few olive jar sherds had been recovered in Portugal and, although we suspected a possible production due to the similarities between some olive jar...

Portuguese settlement in Mumbai region, India: territorial occupation throughout structural remains (16th-18th centuries) (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only André P. S. D. Teixeira.

Most parts of Greater Mumbai belonged to Portugal between 1534 and 1739, except for the island of Bombay, handed over to the British in 1665. The territory of Bassein, the ancient capital of this region, was the first settlement of Estado da Índia to occupy a significant area. The Portuguese enjoyed territorial stability during its first century in Bassein. This favoured the Portuguese annexation of land through the incorporation of pre-existing structures, the application of solutions used in...

Revisiting Ria de Aveiro A (Portugal): a new approach to early modern Atlantic shipbuilding and maritime trade (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Patrícia Carvalho.

In 1992 the remains of an early-modern vessel were found in the Ria de Aveiro (Portugal). This discovery led to the development of an interdisciplinary research project between 1996 and 2005 that allowed the study of the site formation processes, of Atlantic shipbuilding, and the earthenware production in the Aveiro-Ovar region and their commercial circulation. In this paper, we present the last archaeological research about the ship and the new data concerning the maritime trade of the...

The Ribeira Velha of Lisbon and the Requalification of Lisbon Water Front. Archaeological Excavations in a Nautical Context. (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ana Catarina Garcia. Brígida Baptista. Jorge Freire. Filipa Silva. Claudia Manso. Filipe Castro.

During more than one year (2016-2017) public works at Campo das Cebolas, in downtown Lisbon, have exposed archaeological complexes related with his waterfront. This central node of the city and harbor was essential since the Portuguese maritime expansion which spans a period of 500 years, gathering mercantile and daily life activities, buildings, small shipyards, and ships connecting water and land. This paper presents a summary of the finds and a comment of the interest of this excavation,...
