do Ġarb al-Andalus 13 * Centro de estudos em Arqueologia Artes e Ciências do Património (CEAACP) Resumo Os últimos anos foram decisivos nos estudos sobre a cerâmica islâmica em Portugal, não apenas pelo volume de materiais descobertos como pela quantidade de publicações disponíveis. Embora as lacunas ainda sejam significativas, em especial no que diz respeito aos períodos mais recuados, o tema adquiriu uma grande abrangência territorial, com um considerável número de sítios a permitir um enquadramento cronológico fiável. Neste artigo, tratamos os objectos de iluminação, propondo um ensaio de abordagem crono-tipológica para estas formas no actual território português.

A intervenção arqueológica realizada proporcionou a identificação de estruturas arqueológicas inéditas, bem como a exumação de algum espólio, na sua maioria indiferenciado. As estruturas hidráulicas de alvenaria e de cerâmica identificadas terão sobrevivido ao longo das várias épocas, sendo difícil a sua atribuição cronológica. Tal constatação torna-se mais complexa se atendermos que as obras de saneamento dos anos 30/40 do século XX pouco diferiam, tipológica e morfologicamente, de algumas das suas congéneres anteriores.

In this work of homage to Manuel Acién Almansa, the CIGA group gathers a set of objects with prominent iconographic elements, interpreting the symbolism and meaning that the ornamentation of these objects had in the western territories of al-Andalus, a peripheral region where pottery was an important instrument for the transmission of messages from the power centers of al-Andalus.

Instalado num dos cumes sobranceiros da Serra de Sintra, numa área de "caos de blocos" que tão bem caracterizam a área oriental deste maciço isolado, o designado Castelo dos Mouros domina toda uma vasta região de plataformas calcárias, que o rodeiam, constituída por terrenos essencialmente agrícolas pertencentes aos clássicos agri olisiponenses.
Segundo um excerto das "Memórias Paroquais" de 1758, a Serra de Sintra define-se como um marco na paisagem, onde está localizada uma antiga fortaleza a todos os níveis inexpugnável e de alargadas dimensões. A proximidade da vila de Sintra, no "sopé" da Serra - onde foi, igualmente, testemunhada a presença de vestígios arqueológicos do período islâmico - vem comprovar as funções de controle e defesa que esta fortificação encerrava em si mesma.
O aparelho construtivo apresenta uma base executada segundo a técnica apurada de "soga e tissão", ainda que sejam perfeitamente identificáveis as várias reconstruções que esta fortificação sofreu, quer após a Reconquista, quer ainda no século XIX, pelas campanhas de embelezamento do Parque da Pena, levadas a cabo por D. Fernando II.

The defensive center of an essentially rural territory in the extreme west of the
Garb al-Andalus, the Castelo dos Mouros is characterized by a plan with an irregular structure,
with constructions of later settlements added to it. In 1993, following an archaeological
survey, evidence was found that confirms the Moorish occupation of this castle. Three
storage pits were found completely filled; one was associated with a mortar-paved floor. The
ceramics found date to between the 9th and 11th centuries.

The quarry identified in 1998 in thre Colaride Archaeological site constitutes a unique exemple of open-air extraction of limestone blocks and calcite, during the Roman Era in the territorial area that is now occupied by Portugal. Stone was quarried in this area between the 1st century AD and the early 2nd century AD, during which time the buildings of the surrounding settlement must have been erected. Remains have been identified of a shed, related to the stone quarry and probably used for the transformation of the extracted raw material, from where a semi-treated limestone block has been retrieved. Chronological records suggest that tthe quarry was abandoned in the second century AD. It is likeky that the abundance of different types of fossiliferous limestone deposits in the region of Sintra, such as those identified in Colaride, would have eneble the preferential extraction of this typr of raw material rather than the importation of marble from outside the region, for the same pruposes. In this manner, the use of limestone enable the same type of visual effects to be obtained as that achieved through the nobility and monumentality of marble.

The following text presents the results of fieldwork conducted in autumn
2002 in the São Marcos archaeological site intended to preserve and safeguard the archaeological
ruins identified in 1979 and 1984. The settlement of São Marcos covers a vast area
of archaeological remains attributed to the Protohistoric and the Roman periods, where a
major farming and cattle-raising activity may well been developed during the high imperial
period. The collection of archaeological artefacts uncovered in the site — now kept in
the São Miguel de Odrinhas Archaeological Museum — proves that São Marcos was populated
from the 3rd century BC until the end of the 6th century AD. The main objective of
this archaeological campaign was to achieve a graphic, topographic and photographic
record of all archaeological evidence still to be found in the terrain, in order to create an
archaeological reserve in the site. The establishment of the archaeological reserve of São Marcos constitutes an ambitious and innovative measure, given that it has been decided
to safeguard an archaeological site for posterity. In the future this will make it possible to
investigate and valorise this archaeological site, in order to establish a museological unit,
enable public use of the ruins and obtain results that will make it possible to reconstitute
in a rigorous and exhaustive manner the true history of the human presence in the settlement
of São Marcos.

This article presents the results of emergency fieldwork carried out during
the winter of 1998 at the archaeological site of Colaride, in Sintra, in association with the
installation of the Primary Line of Natural Gas. In addition to the registry of diverse typological
and chronologically disparate structures — specifically a canal and a group of pits
excavated in the bedrock, we highlight the identification of an open-air quarry exploited during
the Roman occupation of Colaride as well as a tile factory with which it was associated.

João das Lampas in the Municipality of Sintra. These works took place within the scope of

Lampas. The objective is to also englobe the construction of this place of worship within
the context framework of the regional XVI century history of Sintra.
