Abstract(s)
A necrópole romana do Porto dos Cacos (CNS S-4143) situa-se na herdade de Rio
Frio, concelho de Alcochete. O sítio arqueológico foi descoberto em 1984 tendo
decorrido seis campanhas de escavação, entre 1985 e 1990, durante as quais se
identificou uma olaria que, durante cerca de quatro séculos produziu maioritariamente
ânforas mas também cerâmica comum. A necrópole foi identificada em 1987, num
cabeço anexo à olaria, confirmando a presença de uma população ali estabelecida de
modo permanente.
Após a sua detecção e até 1990 quando, por diversas razões, se optou pela
interrupção dos trabalhos de campo, tinham sido identificadas 37 sepulturas de
distintos tipos, correspondentes exclusivamente ao ritual funerário de inumação.
Destas, apenas foram escavadas 26, de cujo estudo, tanto da tipologia construtiva
como do mobiliário funerário, resultou o presente trabalho.
Esta necrópole, ou a fracção que dela se conhece na actualidade, ilustra parte da
diacronia de ocupação deste território, entre os séculos IV e V da nossa Era. Outros
vestígios apontam para uma continuidade de ocupação deste espaço até ao século
VIII.
The Roman necropolis of Porto dos Cacos (CNS S-4143) is located on the manor of Rio Frio, in the municipality of Alcochete. The archaeological site was discovered In 1984, having lasted six excavation campaigns between 1985 and 1990, during which a pottery that, for about four centuries produced mainly amphorae an coarse ware, was identified. The necropolis was found in 1987 in a mound close to the pottery, confirming the presence of a permanent established population. The interruption of the field work was decided, for several reasons in 1990 and, by then, 37 graves of different types had been identified, corresponding exclusively to the ritual burial of inhumation. Of these, only 26 have been excavated, whose study, of both the building typology and funerary furniture, resulted in the present work. This necropolis, or the fraction of what is known today, illustrates part of the diachrony of occupation of this territory, between the fourth and the fifth centuries AD. Other signs point to a continued occupation of this space until the eigth century.
