Summary
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, carried out by the municipality of Lisbon (EMEL), due to the construction of an underground parking area and urban rehabilitation, with a big team of more than 50 archaeologists, conservative restorers and technicians of 3D digital records.
