Resumo(s)
Greek pottery imports are not particularly abundant on
the Western coast of the Iberian Peninsula, especially when
compared to the data compiled in other Southern territories,
such as Algarve and Lower Alentejo (Arruda 1997, 2006). In
this regard, the Tagus estuary is not an exception, despite the
intensity of the Iron Age occupation in this area. Nonetheless,
it has been possible to detect the presence of Attic imports
of the Classical Period (5th and 4th centuries BCE) in some
sites, and even of some Corinthian pieces, dating back to the
Archaic Period (6th century BCE) (fig. 1).
As for the first, they encompass, as we will see later on, black
glazed and red figure vases, the morphologies and painters of
which conform to the framework of Greek pottery distribution
known in Western Iberia during this time, and therefore are
easily integrated in broad commercial circuits that reached
these peripheral regions. The latter are represented by two
fragments found in Almaraz (Almada), a site with a clear
Phoenician cultural matrix, which is attested by several
archaeological finds unearthed during the archaeological
excavations that took place in the area (Barros et alli 1993).
Both pieces can be included in what was defined as the Middle
Corinthian, dating from the early second quarter of the 6th
century (around 575 BCE).
