Resumo(s)
A intervenção arqueológica efectuada no sítio do Ateneu Artístico
Vilafranquense em 2007, no âmbito da arqueologia preventiva, revelou dados acerca do
aglomerado urbano de Vila Franca de Xira durante a Baixa Idade Média e o início da
Idade Moderna.
A integração urbanística do sítio arqueológico, situado em pleno centro
histórico, permitiu depreender que durante a Baixa Idade Média este local era um
espaço aberto, possivelmente uma zona de quintal anexo a uma habitação. A presença
de um silo indica que este sítio funcionou como área de armazenamento, sendo
desactivado e aterrado em inícios da Idade Moderna.
O estudo realizado sobre a totalidade do espólio proveniente desta intervenção,
constituído por um conjunto de cerâmicas, faunas, vidros, metais e líticos, permitiu
inferir o cariz doméstico deste contexto composto por restos de consumo da população
urbana. A análise dos materiais realizou-se com o objectivo de compreender hábitos de
consumo, questões socioeconómicas e dinâmicas comerciais, de forma a desenvolver o
conhecimento sobre o quotidiano da população vilafranquense durante os séculos XV e
XVI. Este conjunto revelou uma grande diversidade de cerâmica, destacando-se
produções regionais, bem como importações. A análise do conjunto de faunas,
composto por mamíferos, aves, moluscos e peixes permitiu identificar as espécies,
domésticas e selvagens, que integraram a alimentação dos habitantes.
The archaeological intervention in the Ateneu Artístico Vilafranquense site in 2007, in the context of preventive archaeology, revealed data about the urban center of Vila Franca de Xira during the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Age. The integration of the archaeological site in the urban landscape allowed us to understand that, during the Late Middle Ages, this area situated in the town’s historical center was an open space, possibly a household’s backyard. The presence of a silo indicates that it functioned as a storage area, before being deactivated and landfilled in the beginnings of the Modern Age. The study of the entire set of materials from the intervention, made up of ceramics, faunal remains, glass, metals and lithic materials, allowed us to infer the domestic nature of this context comprised of the urban population’s consumption remains. The analysis of the materials was accomplished with the aim of understanding consumption habits, socio-economic issues and commercial dynamics, in order to improve the knowledge of Vila Franca de Xira’s inhabitants daily life during the 15th and 16th century. This set revealed a great ceramic diversity, highlighting regional productions, as well as imports. The analysis of the faunal remains, comprised of mammals, birds, mollusks and fishes, allowed us to identify the species, domestic and wild, that composed the habitants’ food.
