Landscape and Astronomy in Megalithic Portugal: the Carregal Do Sal Nucleus and Star Mountain Range Fabio Silva*
PIA Volume 22 (2012), 99-114 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/pia.405 Landscape and Astronomy in Megalithic Portugal: the Carregal do Sal Nucleus and Star Mountain Range Fabio Silva* Central Portugal, delimited by the Douro river to the north and the Mondego to the south, is the second densest region of megalithic monuments in the country. The Neolithic archaeological record indicates seasonal transhumance between higher pastures in the summer and lower grounds in the winter. The monuments are found in lower ground and it has been suggested that they were built during the winter occupation of their surroundings. The astronomi- cal orientation of their entrances lends further support to this hypothesis. A recent survey of the orientation of the chambers and corridors of these dolmens, conducted by the author, found good agreement with prior surveys, but also demonstrated that other interpretations are possible. This paper presents an update on the survey, including extra sites surveyed in the spring of 2011, as well as the GIS confirmation of all horizon altitudes that couldn’t be empirically measured. The megalithic nucleus of Carregal do Sal, on the Mondego valley, is then looked at in more detail. It is found that there is a preference for the orientation of dolmens towards Star Mountain Range in- line with the topographic arguments of landscape archaeology. In addition, it was found that the topography also marks the rise of particular red stars, Betelgeuse and Aldebaran, during the period of megalithic building, at the onset of spring marking the transition from low ground to the high pastures. -
Water Quality in the Mondego River Basin: Pollution and Habitat Heterogeneity
295 Water quality in the Mondego river basin: pollution and habitat heterogeneity Verónica Ferreira*, Manuel A.S. Graça, Maria João Feio & Claúdia Mieiro IMAR - Centro Interdisciplinar de Coimbra, Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade de Coimbra, 3004- 517 Coimbra, Portugal * Author for correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT The “IMAR- Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade de Coimbra” and “Direcção Regional de Ambiente e Ordenamento do Território” started a partnership with the objective of establishing bases for the assessment of water quality in the Mondego river basin. Here we present the preliminary results of the study. We sampled 75 sites covering the Mondego river basin. At each site we took 18 physical and chemical measurements and sampled macroinvertebrates with a hand net. Site quality was assessed by the application of a biotic index (BMWP’), water chemistry and habitat heterogeneity. Fifty two percent of the sites had good biological water quality (based on BMWP’ index). The strongly polluted sites were concentrated in the Lower Mondego region. Thirty three percent of sites had bad chemical water quality and 45% of the sites had low habitat complexity. Only 40% of the sites with low biological quality also had low chemical water quality. We concluded that (1) in general, the waters on the Mondego river basin do not suffer from strong water pollution and (2) low BMWP’ values can be explained by low water quality or low habitat heterogeneity (natural or man-made). Key words: biological water quality, chemical water quality, habitat heterogeneity, BMWP’.

Loriga Is an Ancient, Beautiful and Historic Small Portuguese Town, Located in the Serra Da Estrela Mountains. Known As Lobriga
- 1 - Loriga is an ancient, beautiful and historic small portuguese town, located in the Serra da Estrela mountains. Known as Lobriga by the Lusitanians and Lorica by the Romans, it is more than 2600 years old. Notable people from Loriga include Viriathus ( known as Viriato in Portuguese ), a famous Lusitanian leader and portuguese national hero. Loriga as enormous touristics potentialities and they are the only ski resort and ski trails existing in Portugal ( Loriga is the Lusian Capital and the capital of the snow in Portugal ). Loriga is a small town in Portugal located in Guarda District. Loriga is 20 km away from the village of Seia, 40 km away from Viseu, 80 km away from Guarda and 320 km from Lisbon. It is nestled in the Serra da Estrela mountain range. It is known as the "Portuguese Switzerland" due to its landscape: a small town surrounded by mountains. Known to be settled by the Lusitanians, the town is more than 2600 years old and was part of the Roman province of Lusitania. It was known as Lobriga by the Lusitanians and Lorica by the Romans. Loriga became a textile manufacturing center in the begin-19th century. While that industry has since dissipated, today the town attracts a sizable tourist trade due to its picturesque scenery and vicinity to the Serra da Estrela Ski Resort, the only ski center in Portugal, totally inside the town limits. - 2 - Coordinates: 40°19'13.69?N 7°39'58.15?W? / ?40.3204694°N 7.6661528°W? / 40.3204694; -7.6661528 Loriga Civil Parish (Vila) The valley parish of Loriga in the shadow of the Serra -

The Establishment of Radiocarbon Chronologies for Early Medieval Sites: a Case Study from the Upper Mondego Valley (Guarda, Portugal)

PALABRAS CLAVES: arqueología medieval, datación radiocarbónica, sistema de poblamiento. GAKO-HITZAK: erdi Aroko arkeologia, datazio erradiokarbonikoa, populatze-sistema. Catarina TENTE(1) and António Faustino CARVALHO(2) ABSTRACT Radiocarbon dating of select samples from early medieval sites in the Upper Mondego Valley has enabled the establishment of a precise chronology in relation to archaeological contexts. Such precision has previously been unobtainable for sites lacking type fossils. These results lead to the conclusion that, if similar criteria are used for sample selection, this methodology may be used in other Iberian regions for deposits from the same period which suffer from the same limitations. RESUMEN Presentamos los resultados de un proyecto sobre dataciones absolutas de contextos alto-medievales de la región del Alto Valle del Mon- dego, exponiendo los criterios utilizados en la selección de las muestras fechadas. Asimismo, fue posible obtener una cronología precisa en relación a una realidad arqueológica hasta ahora desconocida, que carecía de fósiles directores. Considerando el balance final de este pro- yecto, concluimos que la metodología adoptada podrá ser aplicada en otras regiones peninsulares, con yacimientos de este mismo periodo que padecen de las mismas limitaciones. -

Título da Dissertação: Projecto Territorial do Parque Patrimonial do Mondego – revisitações da paisagem cultural ribeirinha. Afonso Nuno Henrique Martins Orientadora: professora doutora Clara Mendes (FAUTL) Co-orientador: professor doutor Álvaro Domingues (FAUP) Mestrado: Arquitectura – especialidade Planeamento Urbano e Territorial Resumo A dissertação foca algumas mudanças ocorridas nas paisagens culturais do rio Mondego, e tem como objectivo propor a sua revalorização e revitalização através de um projecto territorial de escala regional que tem no património o seu eixo temático central: o parque patrimonial do Mondego (PPM). A investigação e o projecto PPM filiam-se em experiências de reabilitação de áreas patrimoniais e em estudos sobre elas realizados. Prestando uma atenção especial a temas como a sustentabilidade, o património intangível e o interface com os visitantes, o PPM introduz um uso interactivo e inteligente das TIC’s. Espaço eminentemente comunicativo, o PPM propõe uma interpretação estruturada da paisagem e define um novo mapa do território através de elementos críticos: área de intervenção e seus limites, um conjunto seleccionado de recursos patrimoniais, de centros de interpretação e portas de entrada, e, finalmente, um sistema, dinâmico e flexível, de roteiros pedagógicos, lúdicos e turísticos. -
