Resumo(s)
A escavação arqueológica realizada na Praça da Figueira entre os anos de 1999 e 2001, motivada pela construção de um parque de estacionamento, revelou a existência de um extenso conjunto de contextos arqueológicos que, até hoje, continuam a ser um recurso na investigação e melhor compreensão da ocupação da cidade de Lisboa (Alves Cardoso, Casimiro, & Assis, 2013; Assis, Alves Cardoso & Casimiro, 2015; Silva, 2005; 2012a; 2012b; 2018a; 2018b). Foi neste mesmo lugar que se erigiu, a partir de 1492 (ano de lançamento da primeira pedra por D. João II) o Hospital Real de Todos-os-Santos, hospital de renome, e onde, previamente, se localizavam as hortas do Convento de S. Domingos da Cidade. No espaço sepulcral em estudo foram exumados sete indivíduos num contexto estratigraficamente anterior ao do HRTS, ou seja, datado dos finais da Idade Média, sem, no entanto, existir espólio material associado às sepulturas que forneça uma datação mais especifica. Deste modo, o autor pretende, através da análise contextual do espaço (na qual se inclui a análise bioantropológica, assim como da estratigrafia e da historiografia existente) procurar uma datação especifica para os contextos, de forma a poder contribuir para o conhecimento da utilização do espaço em período medieval e da sua inserção no contexto urbanístico de Lisboa.
The archaeological excavation carried out in Praça da Figueira between 1999 and 2001, with the purpose of building an underground car parking, revealed the existence of an extensive set of archaeological contexts that, to this day, continue to be a resource in the investigation and better understanding of the occupation of the city of Lisbon (Alves Cardoso, Casimiro, & Assis, 2013; Assis, Alves Cardoso & Casimiro, 2015; Silva, 2005; 2012a; 2012b; 2018a; 2018b). It was in the area of the vegetable gardens of the Dominican Convento de S. Domingos da Cidade that the Royal Hospital of All Saints was built from 1492 onwards, the first stone have been laid out by King João II himself on the 30th of May. The burial ground under study was identified in a stratigraphic context prior to the Royal Hospital, therefore dating from very Late Middle Ages. Seven individuals were exhumed, however without associated finds that would provide a sharp chronology. Thus, the author intends through the contextual analysis of the space (which includes the bio-anthropological analysis, as well as the stratigraphy and the existing historiography) to search for a specific dating for the contexts, in order to contribute to the knowledge of the use of the space in the medieval period and its insertion in the urban context of Lisbon.
