Abstract(s)
As escavações arqueológicas levadas a efeito em Monte Molião (Lagos) permitiram constatar a existência de uma ocupação romano-republicana, que se encontrava sobre outra pré-romana.
Desse momento, data um espaço destinado a operações metalúrgicas, que produziu artefactos, de ferro e bronze. A funcionalidade deste espaço era evidente pela associação, num único compartimento com uma superfície de 18 m2, de grande quantidade de cinzas, restos de argila, escórias, pingos de fundição, cadinhos e também artefactos, alguns intactos e outros fracturados.
Os conjuntos cerâmicos associados, concretamente a cerâmica campaniense, a de tipo Kuass, a de paredes finas e as ânforas permitiram apontar uma cronologia precisa para esta actividade no sítio algarvio, que está confirmada pela sequência estratigráfica.
Todos os indícios se juntam no sentido de se poder defender que a produção documentada no sítio é de âmbito doméstico, destinada a servir a população local e que a matéria-prima se obteve em áreas próximas.
The archeological excavations carried out in Monte Molião revealed the existence of a late Roman Republican occupation that overlapped the pre-roman settlement. In this phase it was possible to identify a space dedicated to metallurgical operations, which produced artifacts in bronze and iron. This function was established by the presence, in a compartment of 18 m2, of remains of baked clay, concentrations of ashes, dripping remains and slags of the metal work and even artifacts, some intact, others fractured. The ceramic vessels associated, particularly the campanien ware, the Kuass ware and the thin walled vases, allowed us to assign a precise chronology for this activity, which is confirmed by the stratigraphic sequence. The evidence gathered indicates that the metallurgical production of Monte Molião is basically of a domestic kind, and is mainly for local consumption. The raw material required are probably also recovered from nearby areas.
