- The importance of Lama on presentation scenesPublication . Gonçalves, Vera; Rosa, Maria de Fátima; Gomes de Almeida, Isabel; CHAM - Centro de Humanidades; Departamento de História (DH)For the past years we have been focusing our attention on the agency of Mesopotamian divine figures, considering their multiple roles, features, and importance as displayed in several material, iconographic and textual data. By intertwining the methodological and theoretical apparatus of Archaeology and History with the ones of Religious Studies, one of our goals is to contribute to the reconstruction of the Mesopotamian religious system, by examining the conceptualization of deities within the institutional and the personal/familiar spheres. With this paper we aim to present some of our preliminary results within this scope, namely concerning the divine figure of Lama. With that in mind, we will revisit her importance on two small, but rather thematically cohesive samples of cylinder seals unearthed in Tell Asmar and Tell Ishchali during the 1930’s archaeological campaigns led by the at the time designated Oriental Institute of Chicago, presently Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures of the University of Chicago.
- Archaeological research on seasonal settlement in south-western EuropePublication . Tente, Catarina; Tente, Catarina; Mier, Margarita Fernández; Departamento de História (DH); Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM)The archaeology of seasonal occupations and their structures is not a subject that has dominated medieval research in south-western Europe. Some work has been done, mostly linked to multidisciplinary and multi-chronological teams, which have been focused on mountain areas. More recently, projects specifically addressing the study of medieval occupations in mountain areas have been developed and some results have now been published. Other research has studied Islamic contexts related to seasonal fishing. The role played by preventive archaeology must also be stressed, particularly in the characterization of ethnographic and archaeological structures. Therefore, this paper presents a state of art on seasonal settlement research in the Iberian Peninsula, approaching the currently available data on seasonal settlement in this part of Europe. It also presents the authors’ perspective on research in the near future.
