During the Ming dynasty  the first connections were established between occidental and oriental communities. Through the hands of captains, merchants and missioners, for nearly a century the Portuguese had almost the exclusive trade with Asia, ensuring the Chinese porcelain trade. In general, the rare and exotic goods from the orient, in particular the Chinese porcelains, were a vast area of trade that inspired the artistic sensibility of the Portuguese society; a fashion trend that endured...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Portuguese coastal supervision system has used Underwater Cultural Heritage Chart programs for the understanding and management of the coastline from maritime cultural evidence. Within these programs, geophysics tools and techniques are utilized to rebuild submerged archaeological landscapes. With this paper we present the methods and results of this type of partnership regarding the research of the archaeological complex São Julião da Barra, a site under view by the current program of...

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...

 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,...

The study, protection, and divulgation of a country’s submerged cultural heritage depends on many factors, cultural, economic, and political.  This paper describes the management model that the authors are trying to implement in Portugal, as mere citizens without any leverage near the government and the cultural authorities.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Lisbon, The Tagus And The Global Navigation", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. On early modern age Tagus bar became an important transition point between river and ocean navigation for ships coming from all parts of the world. The research carried out there since 2018 included the monitoring of Bugio 1 (c. 1700) and the prospection of a large area. This work allowed us to record other contexts, with a material...

Aiming to contribute to an understanding of underwater landscapes and the evolution of shorelines, this work presents research in the submerged area of the Armação de Pêra bay (southern Portugal). Due to logistical difficulties involved in studying this context, it was necessary to develop two main approaches. On the one hand, it was necessary to collect underwater samples using a drilling system. On the other hand, it was necessary to develop and manage a Geographic Information System (GIS) for...

The passage between Tróia and Setúbal, in the mouth of the Sado River was made, until mid-20th century in small boats. When the weather was rough passengers could wait several days. The closest place when travelling from the South would be the...
