Resumo(s)
The archaeological urban project developed in Setúbal since 1975 by the Museu de Arqueologia e Etnografia do Distrito de Setúbal (MAEDS) indicates that Caetobriga (now known as Setúbal) was a prosperous harbour and an industrial city, economically specialized in the large-scale production of salted fish and fish sauces for export throughout the Roman Empire. The finds reported here derive from two samples of fish bones found in two Dressel 14 amphorae in Setúbal. They were found in the course of rescue excavations at Rua Francisco Augusto Flamengo, 10-12 (RFAF-10-12) and Rua António Joaquim Granjo, 19 (RAJG- 19). The latter constitutes the first evidence of fish remains from the 1st century AD in Lusitania. The results show that the products found in the amphorae derive from whole sardines (Sardina pilchardus). Sample features and indi- vidual size distribution are compared in a description and discussion of the contents of the amphorae. This information is compared to other known finds of similar nature.
