- Comunidades medievais cristãs do Alto Mondego: projecto de estudo das estratégias de ocupação do territórioPublication . Tente, CatarinaO presente artigo pretende dar a conhecer o estado do conhecimento sobre a ocupação medieval cristã no Alto Mondego, no enquadramento do projecto de investigação apresentado a concurso na Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia sob o título “O Alto Mondego: terra de fronteira entre Cristãos e Muçulmanos”, o qual, decorrendo sob a direcção científica geral de Rosa Varela Gomes, foi aprovado para financiamento e encontra-se em curso desde Maio de 2007. O principal objectivo do projecto é o aprofundamento dos conhecimentos sobre as transformações do espaço rural e de fronteira que ocorreram nesta região entre os séculos VI e XII. Tratando-se de uma área regional onde praticamente não há referências a documentos anteriores ao século XII, a utilização de métodos próprios da arqueologia e das ciências auxiliares é um meio fundamental para a obtenção de conhecimentos sobre as sociedades medievais que ocuparam este espaço.
- The genetic history of Portugal over the past 5,000 years.Publication . Roca-Rada, Xavier; Davidson, Roberta; Williams, Matthew P.; Villalba-Mouco, Vanessa; Carvalho, António Manuel Faustino de; Ravishankar, Shyamsundar; Collen, Evelyn; Haarkötter, Christian; Taufik, Leonard; Cuesta-Aguirre, Daniel R.; Tente, Catarina; Calleja, Álvaro M Monge; MacRoberts, Rebecca Anne; Melo, Linda; Purnomo, Gludhug A.; Souilmi, Yassine; Tobler, Raymond; Cunha, Eugénia; Tereso, Sofia; Matos, Vítor M. J.; Fernandes, Teresa Matos; Maurer, Anne-France; Silva, Ana Maria; Carvalho, Pedro C.; Llamas, Bastien; Teixeira, João C.Recent ancient DNA studies uncovering large-scale demographic events in Iberia have presented very limited data for Portugal, a country located at the westernmost edge of continental Eurasia. Here, we present the most comprehensive collection of Portuguese ancient genome-wide data, from 67 individuals spanning 5000 years of human history, from the Neolithic to the nineteenth century. We identify early admixture between local hunter-gatherers and Anatolian-related farmers in Neolithic Portugal, with a northeastern-southwestern gradient of increasing Magdalenian-associated ancestry persistence in Iberia. This profile continues into the Chalcolithic, though Bell Beaker-associated sites reveal Portugal's first evidence of Steppe-related ancestry. Such ancestry has a broader demographic impact during the Bronze Age, despite continuity of local Chalcolithic genetic ancestry and limited Mediterranean connections. The village of Idanha-a-Velha emerges in the Roman period as a site of significant migration and interaction, presenting a notably diverse genetic profile that includes North African and Eastern Mediterranean ancestries. The Early Medieval period is marked by the arrival of Central European genetic diversity, likely linked to migrations of Germanic tribes, adding to coeval local, African, and Mediterranean influences. The Islamic and Christian Conquest periods show strong genetic continuity in northern Portugal and significant additional African admixture in the south. The latter remains stable during the post-Islamic period, suggesting enduring African influences. We reveal dynamic patterns of migration in line with cultural exchange across millennia, but also the persistence of local ancestries. Our findings integrate genetic information with historical and archeological data, enhancing our understanding of Iberia's biological and cultural heritage.
- Neolithic archaeology at the Penedo dos Mouros rock-shelter (Gouveia, Portugal) and the issue of primitive transhumance parctices in the Estrela mountain rangePublication . Carvalho, Antonio Faustino; Pereira, Vera; Duarte, Carlos; Tente, CatarinaLocated in the foothills of the north-western sector of the Estrela Mountain (Beira Alta province in central-north Portugal), Penedo dos Mouros Rock-shelter revealed a succession of three distinct archaeological horizons datable to the evolved Early Neolithic and initial Middle Neolithic, thus partially coinciding with the onset of the regional Megalithism. The find of a few caprine remains at least one possible sheep, among a large spectrum of species - swine, rabbit, hare, Iberian lynx and toad-, makes this site the oldest in the region to provide direct evidence for herding practices. Small-sized pots, expedient use of local lithic raw materials together with curated use of exogenous flint, and low density of artefacts indicate a strategy of residential mobility in line with similar evidence observed elsewhere in Beira Alta. Given previous claims of Neolithic vertical transhumance between montane plateaux -in the summer- and lowland plains -in the winter-, this hypothesis is here discussed -and refuted- based on spatial analysis of Neolithic sites, economic characterization of the period and local orographic and bioclimatic constraints.
