A Fábrica da Pólvora de Barcarena : história e evolução tecnológica entre os séculos XVI e XX

A utilização da pólvora negra em Portugal está documentada desde o reinado de D. Fernando, conhecendo-se referências a polvoristas a partir de meados do século XV. De entre as primitivas oficinas da pólvora referenciadas no século XVI, destaca-se a de Barcarena. Com a expansão ultramarina, aumentou a importância desta unidade, o que não obstou a que novas fábricas se fossem instalando em estabelecimentos ultramarinos portugueses, principalmente na índia e no Brasil. Apresenta-se a evolução tecnológica da Fábrica da Pólvora de Barcarena, com especial realce para a monumental fábrica construída por António Cremer (1729) e para as inovações nela introduzidas por Bartolomeu da Costa, nos finais do século XVIII. Referem-se também as posteriores ampliações recebidas pela Fábrica e a utilização de novas formas de energia, a do vapor de água e a energia eléctrica, esta produzida em duas centrais Diesel-eléctricas e numa central hidroeléctrica, instaladas entre 1924 e 1929. Em 1988 encerrou a Fábrica e em 1998 foi criado o Museu da Pólvora Negra de Barcarena, cuja concepção e constituição são sumariamente apresentadas.

Between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean : the late bronze age around the Tagus estuary (Portugal) : economic, social and cultural aspects

This paper deals with the importance, quantity and diversity of Late Bronze Age sites known around the Tagus estuary. The material culture points out to the existence of cultural stimuli from very different origins: from the Iberian Peninsula inner, the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean basin, related to the social organization and the economy of the populations that inhabited this region between the XIII century BC and the IX century BC, according to the available radiocarbon data. These populations interacted with the first Phoenicians that arrived to the region at the end of this period, after episodic relations of trading with their antecedents, from Central Mediterranean region.

Faunal remains from an Almohad (Ad XII/XIII) silo at the Castle of Aljezur (Portugal)

The analysis of a faunal collection from a storage silo found in the castle of Aljezur, dating from the Almohad period (XII/XIIIth centuries AD), is presented. It appears that the community occupying the castle concentrated on hunting species such as the rabbit, wild boar, red deer and Iberian lynx, while evidences of stockbreeding were scarce and centered upon caprines with horses and chicken playing minor role. The presence of a large dog has been assumed to be an aid for hunting but possibly also in herd keeping. With the exception of the lynx, all large mammals evidenced traces of consumption. The domestic cat is taken to represent a pet whereas the lynx had probably a role as a fur provider. It should be noted that equids and the pond turtle were probably food items. Rodents are taken to represent commensals whereas the toad of the Genus Bufo probably represented an intrusive element.

The transition to agriculture in south-wertern Europe : new isotopic insights from Portugal's Atlantic coast

For the past 15 years, a succession of stable isotope studies have documented the abrupt dietary transition from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic in Western and Northern Europe. Portugal, with its Late Mesolithic shell middens and burials apparently coexisting with the earliest Neolithic, further illustrates the nature of that transition. Individuals from Neolithic contexts there had significantly different diets to their Mesolithic counterparts. No evidence was found for a transitional phase between the marine oriented Mesolithic subsistence regimes and the domesticated, terrestrial Neolithic diet. Two later Neolithic individuals, however, showed evidence for partial reliance on marine or aquatic foods. This raises questions about the possible persistence of marine dietary regimes beyond the Mesolithic period. This article is followed by a brief note by Mary Jackes and David Lubell.
