O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a análise das dinâmicas de continuidades e ruturas, identidades e influências exógenas, entre o mundo indígena pré-romano que povoou a Estremadura portuguesa na segunda metade do primeiro milénio a.C. e o decorrer do processo da sua conquista militar e integração na sociedade provincial romana. As escavações que efetuei em Monte dos Castelinhos (2008-2018), Vila Franca de Xira forneceram uma base documental que sustenta uma leitura consolidada das suas arquiteturas, faseamento e cultura material. Tendo em conta o volume e qualidade de dados obtidos, pretende-se apresentar num primeiro nível uma perspetiva monográfica do sítio, centrando a nossa análise no baixo Tejo e em concreto na bacia do Rio Grande da Pipa, onde este se insere. Porém, tendo em conta a perceção das dinâmicas de povoamento, a um nível mais geral, foi necessário contextualizar o sítio e sua ocupação, ao nível da zona da Estremadura. Delimita-se assim, a área de estudo, a Sul pela foz do rio Sado e a Serra da Arrábida, a Este pela margem esquerda do Tejo, a Norte pela bacia do rio Alviela, pelas Serras dos Candeeiros, pela antiga área da lagoa de Óbidos e a Oeste pela costa atlântica. Tendo presente, o quadro de indagações do trabalho em epígrafe pretendeu-se investir numa visão de conjunto e, assim rever a totalidade da informação disponível, desencadeando-se o estudo de muitas destas estações, seus registos e espólios. O rio Tejo marca com o acidente geográfico da sua foz a geografia da fachada atlântica, quebrando a sua continuidade. As características singulares do seu estuário pautado por um verdadeiro mar interior, deram origem a um dos raros portos de abrigo para a navegação, bem como, graças ao seu prolongado estuário, a uma via de penetração navegável da maior importância para territórios francamente interiores. Estas características rapidamente intuídas pelos navegadores mediterrânicos fizeram com que
este espaço assumisse desde os primeiros momentos do processo de conquista da Hispania um papel fulcral e estruturante.
This work aims to analyze the dynamics of continuities and ruptures, identities and exogenous influences, between the pre-Roman indigenous world that populated Portuguese Extremadura in the second half of the first millennium BC and the course of its military conquest and integration process in the Roman provincial society. The excavations I carried out in Monte dos Castelinhos (2008-2018), Vila Franca de Xira provided a documental base that supports a consolidated reading of its architecture, phasing and material culture. Considering the volume and quality of data obtained, we intend to present, at a first level, a monographic perspective of the site focusing our analysis on the lower Tagus and specifically on the Rio Grande da Pipa basin where it is located. However, considering the perception of population dynamics at a more general level it was necessary to contextualize the site and its occupation in terms of the Extremadura zone. Thus, the study area is delimited, to the south by the mouth of the river Sado and the Serra da Arrábida, to the east by the left bank of the Tagus, to the north by the basin of the river Alviela, by the Serras dos Candeeiros, and the area of the lagoon of Óbidos, and west along the Atlantic coast. Bearing in mind, the framework of questions in the above work, the intention was to invest in an overall view and, thus review all the information available, triggering the study of many of these stations, their records and assets. The Tagus River, with the geographic accident of its mouth marks the geography of the Atlantic coast, breaking its continuity. The unique characteristics of its estuary, marked by a true inland sea, gave rise to one of the rare safe harbors for navigation, as well as, thanks to its long estuary, a navigable penetration route of great importance for clearly inland territories. These characteristics were quickly intuited by Mediterranean navigators made this space take over since the first moments of the process of conquest of Hispania, a relevant and structuring role.
