  • Research in Maritime Archaeology in Portugal 451
    450Research in maritimeSHIPWRECKS AROUND archaeology THE WORLD: REVELATIONS in OF THE PAST Portugal: A view of the Past and Present 20 Tiago Miguel Fraga, Cristóvão Fonseca, Inês Pinto Coelho, Jorge Freire, Patrícia Carvalho and André Teixeira, Centro de História de Além-Mar, Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Universidade dos Açores, Lisboa, Portugal Portugal is a country with a secular strategy in overseas expansion, a cultural identity linked to the sea and of a cultural heritage spawning four continents. Thus maritime archaeology has become an essential field to understand the country. Presented here is an overview of the current state of maritime archaeology in Portugal in regard to several projects presently underway in Portugal and their contribution towards Portuguese history and maritime history in general. These occur in diverse fields as coastal knowledge, maritime cultural landscape, coastal archaeology, port studies associated with river and estuary research, ship’s studies and history of shipbuilding. Portugal’s ties to the sea have a secular origin. The geographic shoreline configuration (800 km of shoreline in a border of 1800 km) and abundant waterways and ports, led to an intense riverside settlement, to the development of maritime related economic activities, to a secular navigation knowledge and, of course, the cognitive construction of an entire magico-religious maritime tradition in the territory of present day Portugal. A country with very early defined borders in the late 13th century, Portugal secularly adopted overseas expansion as a main strategy. Its interventions in Africa, America and Asia tried to balance a lack of European expression, enabling a fragile political, economic and even cultural independence.
