Microhistory is a part of historical research that focuses on the behaviours, practices, and perceptions of individuals and small communities, locating them in social, economic, and cultural frameworks. Although archaeology has already focused on similar attempts, microarchaeology seldom takes a female perspective. This article aims to discuss how microhistory can be used in historical archaeology, engendering past narratives, those which are usually so difficult to find from historical documents and archaeological sites, and introducing the concept of the ego-artefact, the artefacts we know to have belonged to specific people and which are almost biographical. By doing this analysis, we are individually reconstructing past narratives while including these stories in macronarratives.

Hundreds of beads are collected every year on the shores of the island of Mozambique, dating between the 16th and the 20th-century. They are recovered in the sand and strung into neckless to sell for the best offer. More than archaeological artefacts and important historical, social, economic, and cultural items, they have a dominant role in the island’s local economy today. These archaeological materials are dispersed in time but also in space since they originate from Europe, Asia, and Africa. The privileged geographical position turned this African island into a logistical support platform for transoceanic routes, a mandatory crossing point for ships of the Portuguese crown, and for the other European monarchies that traded in the Indian Ocean. The beads are a palimpsest of cultures and trades, not only in the past but also in the present, and they still play an important role in their relationship with local communities.

Resumo: A presença de cerâmica portuguesa nos territórios coloniais atlânticos há muito que tem sido notada. Faiança, cerâmica comum e cerâmica vidrada eram enviadas em quantidades massivas para as colónias portuguesas do Atlântico, utilizadas nas actividades domésticas e industriais, fundamentais na manutenção do estilo de vida europeu que se tentava manter nas possessões ultramarinas e de extrema importância económica para a subsistência das olarias portuguesas. Este artigo planeia ser uma introdução ao enorme potencial de pesquisa que é a análise das evidências cerâmicas portuguesas espalhadas pelo Atlântico. Abstract: The presence of Portuguese ceramics in colonial Atlantic territories has been noted for some years now. Tin-glazed ware, redwares, and glazed wares were sent in massive amounts into the Portuguese Atlantic colonies and used in domestic and industrial activities. These objects were fundamental in the preservation of a European lifestyle that settlers and their descendants tried to hold to and important for the economic growth of Portuguese pottery production. This paper aims to be an introduction to the enormous research potential that Portuguese ceramics in the Atlantic represent.

12. Circulation in Seventeenth-Century Lisbon (Portugal): Traffic Signs and Traffic Rules
- Author

- Abstract
By the 17th century, Lisbon was a large and complex city—the capital of a large empire in which thousands of people and goods originating from different places around the world circulated. Yet the city was still organized according to its medieval footprint, one consequence of which was numerous documented traffic problems. In 1686, King Pedro II decreed that places in Lisbon where the problems were most recurrent should be marked with signs establishing circulation rules. Consequently, 24 such signs were put up in different parts of the city, three of which still survive today, even after the destruction of the 1755 earthquake. Based on archaeological, historical, cartographic, and geographic information, this article aims to discuss how these signs are a reflection of medieval Lisbon’s circulatory patterns and how the narrow streets were not able to adequately support the circulation of large vehicles introduced in the 17th century. The combination of this information not only allows the recreation of Lisbon’s circulation patterns, but also parts of the city’s social and cultural landscape as well.

Este dossiê reune autorxs da Argentina, Brasil, Equador, Estados Unidos, Guiana e Portugal que trazem a Arqueologia do Colonialismo em seu campo de visão analítica. Foram considerados diversos lugares ao redor do Oceano Atlântico e fora dele, como no Oceano Pacífico, buscando compreender as relações locais e globais, os deslocamentos voluntários e forçados, os seus motivos distintos e os efeitos que ainda reverberam no presente. Os artigos também compartilham da consideração de que a Arqueologia “surge colonial e conserva colonialidades, seja na teoria como na prática” (HARTEMANN; MORAES, 2018, p. 11), sendo necessário atuar para descolonizá-la.

Recognizing and defining behaviors is among the most challenging objectives of writing narratives about the past, especially when direct testimony and the evidence of agents' actions are long lost. Typically, archaeologists look at material remains to reconstruct daily activities, while historians read and interpret documents that articulate how agents interacted with their surroundings. Following an interdisciplinary approach combining archaeology and history, the purpose of this paper is to reconstruct how different types of agents co-existed on board Portuguese ships in the Early Modern Age, and how those relations can be interpreted as a household. These ships sailed across different oceans with different purposes and destinations, carrying people, animals, and things, all of which had a level of agency. All these agents led to the development of specific relations and ways of being, characterizing the particular dynamics and associations during voyages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Almada durante Idade Moderna seria apenas uma pequena vila estruturada do ponto de vista urbano, sobretudo através da Rua Direita e da cerca medieval, que protegia a zona alta da cidade. O pouco que se sabe sobre a sua população revela que a maioria teria poucas posses, dedicando-se principalmente à agricultura. Os habitantes com maiores posses seriam os donos das quintas que existiam em torno do centro urbano. No entanto, esta questão da capacidade económica dos habitantes da vila poderá vir a ser questionada com base nas evidências arqueológicas encontradas em diversas intervenções da atual cidade, nomeadamente na Rua da Judiaria, na Rua da Cerca/Serpa Pinto, na Rua Visconde Almeida Garrett, no Largo 1° de Maio, na Rua Trigueiros Martel, Rua Heliodoro Salgado, Rua do Registo Civil, Rua Latino Coelho, Paços do Concelho e Rua Henriques Nogueira. No conjunto destes dez sítios arqueológicos surgiram centenas de fragmentos de objetos em porcelana que podem ser cronologicamente enquadrados entre os inícios do século XVI e os finais do século XVIII, o que permitirá uma visão abrangente do consumo de porcelana durante cerca de três séculos. Esta tese tem como objetivo o estudo destes objetos, enquadrando-os na investigação já realizada sobre porcelana chinesa em contextos arqueológicos portugueses. Houve o objetivo de, não só compreender as decorações destes objetos e como estas foram mudando ao longo dos séculos, mas também, de que maneira os contactos comerciais entre Portugal e a China influenciaram as produções da porcelana chinesa e qual teria sido o seu lugar na casa dos almadenses. Almada during the Middle Ages would be a small village. Its centre would be structured by the main street and a medieval wall that would serve as protection to the highest point of the town. The population in its majority would survive only on agriculture. The wealthiest people owned farms located on the outskirts of the village. Even with this information, recent archaeological finds in Rua da Judiaria, Rua da Cerca/Serpa Pinto, Rua Visconde Almeida Garrett, no Largo 1° de Maio, Rua Trigueiros Martel, Rua Heliodoro Salgado, Rua do Registo Civil, Rua Latino Coelho, Paços do Concelho and Rua Henriques Nogueira can makes us question the real economic power of the population of Almada. Hundreds of Chinese porcelain fragments were found in these ten archaeological sites, possible to date from the early 16th century until the end of the 18th century, which will allow us to interpret the consumption of this product for three centuries. This dissertation aims to study these objects comparing them with the already existing investigation of Chinese porcelain found in other Portuguese archaeological sites. The goal was not only to understand the decorations of these objects, and how those decorations changed throughout the centuries but also, in which way the contact between Portugal and China influenced the production of porcelain and what was its place in the homes of Almada’s population.

In northern Europe, the 16th century was a period characterised by the breakthrough of the Reformation and the establishment of national states. Following the technological principles of printing and adapting the motifs of Renaissance woodcuts, potteries predominantly in the Rhine and Meuse regions started to produce relief-decorated stoneware with elaborate decorations. The appearance of these stoneware-vessels closely reflects both trading networks and a certain “habitus” of the consumers. The motifs of the decorations give insight into aspects of the religious struggles and political conflicts of the period. Based on finds from Norway, relief-decorated stoneware can highlight aspects of long-range contact, exchange, and conflict.

As materialidades associadas aos contextos funerários revelam um importante conhecimento alusivo aos rituais à hora da morte, estes realizados consoante critérios culturais, sociais, económicos, identitários e de género, que refletem a influência do fenómeno social e individual da religião sobre a sociedade portuguesa entre os séculos XV e XIX. Nos estudos arqueológicos disponíveis, o espólio funerário exumado nas necrópoles medievais, modernas e mesmo contemporâneas, é tendencialmente analisado perante uma perspetiva de inventariação e de catalogação, com tímidas abordagens relativamente ao seu valor simbólico, à sua história, e à relação que este possuiu com o indivíduo inumado, algo que esta dissertação irá abordar. As necrópoles analisadas neste projeto, propositadamente localizadas em ambientes urbanos e rurais, dentro da mesma área administrativa, pretendem demonstrar e dar a conhecer as diferenças que a religião, crenças e superstições podem proporcionar na relação material com a morte, tendo em conta parâmetros como a capacidade económica, estruturas sociais e culturais, passíveis de serem observados através da cultura material dos contextos funerários. Logo, o propósito deste trabalho foca-se em observar, analisar e interpretar a cultura material associada a diversas inumações, procurando compreender a relação entre os indivíduos e os espólios funerários, assim como, se as diferenças sociais, económicas e culturais em vida, encontram reflexo na morte. The materialities associated with the funerary contexts reveal an important knowledge alluding to the rituals at the time of death, performed according to social, economic, identity and gender criteria, which reflect the influence of the social and individual phenomenon of religion in the Portuguese society between the 15th and 19th centuries. The funerary remains exhumed in medieval, early modern and contemporary necropolises are usually analysed from an inventory and cataloguing perspective, leaving their symbolic value, their history, and the relationship that they possessed with the individual, something which will be addressed in this dissertation. The necropolises analysed in this thesis, purposefully located in urban and rural environments, within the same administrative area, intend to demonstrate the differences that existed at a religious level and the material relationship with death, taking into account economic, social and cultural capacities, which can be observed by the material culture of funerary contexts. Therefore, the purpose of this work focuses on observing, analysing and interpreting the material culture associated with several burials, seeking to understand the relationship between individuals and the grave goods, as well as whether social, economic and cultural differences in life are reflected in death

A VOC foi das companhias de comércio marítimo mais bem-sucedidas da história europeia, criada com uma logística sem precedentes, e que veio a servir como exemplo e inspiração para inúmeras operações além-mar nos séculos vindouros. É equiparável esta importância da VOC com os esforços nos estudos históricos e arqueológicos sobre a companhia, existindo, porém, certas lacunas em relação ao conhecimento dos naufrágios, nomeadamente, ao que descreve a cultura material nas várias fases do circuito, e que por sua vez, servem como janelas para o quotidiano abordo e comércio realizado. Esta dissertação visa o estudo o naufrágio Slot Ter Hooge, afundado na Baía do Guilherme, na ilha do Porto Santo, Madeira. Para a realização desse trabalho foi necessário desenvolver uma análise comparativa e sintetizar a informação disponível acerca dos 60 naufrágios até hoje identificados no mundo, com especial foco na cultura material, utilizando como base para o estudo propriamente dito os 15 exemplos mais icónicos e estudados de navios da etapa outbound. O Slot Ter Hooge naufragou em 1724, e foi resgatado em 1725/34 e 1974. Parte dos vestígios encontram-se no Museu Casa Colombo, no Porto Santo. A presente tese pretende realizar o estudo desses vestígios materiais, unindo-os com os vestígios descritos em fontes bibliográficas e por fim enquadrando-os no contexto histórico-arqueológico do naufrágio, e abordando a importância do seu estudo para a compreensão da navegação efetuada pela VOC. VOC was one of the most successful commercial maritime companies in European history, based on an unprecedented logistics that would come to serve as a role-model for alike businesses in the centuries to come. Its importance is reflected in the dedication of scholars around the world, that have historically and archaeologically deconstructed the information available to reconstruct the reality of 17th and 18th centuries Dutch-Asiatic shipping. It is though noticeable a slight overlook as to the nautical archaeological remains, especially concerning their material culture, that is deeply connected to the understanding of the life aboard these ships and the true dimension of the commerce they undertook. This dissertation means to synthesize the information available about the 60 shipwrecks discovered until this day, giving primary focus to the material culture encountered and recovered from 15 most emblematic examples of outbound ships, and, as a practical case study, the Slot Ter Hooge shipwreck in Porto Santo Island, Madeira. The Slot Ter Hooge wrecked in 1724 and was salvaged in 1725/1734 and in 1974. Part of the findings are exhibited at the Casa Colombo Museum in Porto Santo Island. This dissertation demonstrates the study done on these materials, combining them with the finds shown in available bibliography, to then insert them in the historical and archaeological context of the wreck, and reflecting on its importance for the understanding of the VOC’s navigation.
