The characterization of Chalcolitic archaeological sites has crucial relevance for the understanding of this period in the SW Iberia. The study of ceramic artefacts of different tipologies (bowls, beads, sherds, etc.), with and without decoration, and lithic materials collected in the Chalcolithic archaelogical site of Santa Vitoria (southern of Portugal) will be of great importance …
The chemical characterization of archaeological loom weights and local raw materials, by using micro and non-destructive methods, will be of great importance for the identification of the raw material used in Vila Nova de São Pedro (VNSP). The knowledge of the production techniques, including the firing temperatures, type of firing used, and domestic fire structure …
The Vila Nova de São Pedro (VNSP, Azambuja – Portugal) site is one of the biggest Chalcolithic hilltop settlements of Iberia Peninsula. For the first time, an analytical approach for the study of remarkable schist artefacts found in VNSP will be applied. Using micro and non-destructive methods, the chemical characterization of schist artefacts will be …
IVORIST – provenance and circulation issues of pre-historic ivory and schist remarkable artefacts IVORIST proposes an innovative approach for the study of remarkable ivory artefacts and schist architectural materials found in funerary structures from an important Chalcolithic archaeological site, by using micro and non-destructive methods, providing additional information concerning ditched enclosures sites and contribute for …
COVIDair is a bilateral project between Portugal and Poland. The main goal of this project is to estimate how the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic affected the level of airborne particulate pollution. Project coordinator: Vânia Martins – vania.martins@ctn.tecnico.ulisboa.pt
