  • A Baseline Assessment
    A thematic network on High Value Farming Learning, Innovation & Knowledge LEARNING AREA « SÍTIO DE MONFURADO » (Portugal) A BASELINE ASSESSMENT Authors: Maria Isabel Ferraz-de-Oliveira, Teresa Pinto-Correia Date: June 2017 This project has received funding from the European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovations program under Grant Agreement No. 696391 1 Limits and key characteristics of the “Sítio de Monfurado” The Sítio de Monfurado (SM) lies within two municipalities, Montemor-o-Novo and Évora. With about 20 km long and 15 km wide, it has clear boundaries both to the south and east, but more complex and blurred to the north and west. The population density within the SM is low and concentrated in a few settlements. The diverse landscape is composed of different types of land cover in patches of various sizes: dense Montado, the characteristic silvo-pastoral system, with mixed tree cover, dense cork oak forests in the steep slopes and deep valleys, and both open grazing areas and irrigated crop areas, in the plains. The Montado is dominant and composes a mosaic with the other landcover types. This mosaic supports a rich and specific biodiversity. The landscape character in the Monfurado site is closely related to the dense Montado cover which dominates the SM. It is generally a High Nature Value (HNV) farming system. The property structure is composed by very large estates, except around towns and villages where small scale farms dominate. ------------------------------- References: Guiomar N., Pinto-Correia T.

  • Weapons of the Weak in Portugal During the Early 20Th Century: the Example of the Central Alentejo1
    Weapons of the Weak in Portugal during the Early 20th Century: The Example of the Central Alentejo1 Jesús-Ángel Redondo Cardeñoso2 Abstract This article explores James C. Scott’s concept of weapons of the weak, taking advantage of the possibilities of applying it to the social history of rural Portugal. Using the example of the Central Alentejo region during the early twentieth century, I analyze the characteristics of the most common types of daily resistance practiced by the lower classes in the region (such as stealing acorns and olives or poaching and livestock trespassing), specifically focusing on their social aspects as an act of resistance. To do this, I use newspaper reports and archive material from the district authorities as well as documentation on the cases tried at the Arraiolos District Court during the ten-year period between 1908 and 1918. Keywords Weapons of the Weak, Produce Theft, Poaching, Livestock Trespassing, Alentejo. Resumo No seguinte texto aprofundaremos no estudo do conceito armas dos fracos (weapons of the weak) de James C. Scott, para aproveitar as potenciais possibilidades da sua aplicação na história social rural portuguesa. Por meio do exemplo do Alentejo Central nos inícios do século XX, analisaremos as caraterísticas das práticas de resistência quotidiana mais comuns executadas pelas classes populares da região (furto de bolotas e azeitonas, caça furtiva e invasão de gados), e especificamente mostraremos o seu carater social e de resistência. Para isso, utilizaremos documentação jornalística e arquivística da administração distrital, assim como as causas judiciais do Tribunal de Comarca de Arraiolos durante a década de 1908 até 1918.

MATALOTO Município de Redondo, Praça da República, 7170-011 Redondo, Portugal The composition and manufacture of Late Bronze Age metallic artefacts from funerary and domestic contexts of southern inland Portugal was studied. The prevailing trend comprises binary bronzes (10.3 ± 2.1 wt% Sn) showing deformed equiaxial grains, annealing twins and slip bands. The alloy composition is somewhat independent of artefact type, while the manufacture seems to rely on artefact function and the skilfulness of the metallurgist. The technological characteristics were linked with archaeological and chronological features, disclosing some artefacts of uncommon composition, such as low-tin bronze bracelets (4.3–7.1 wt% Sn) associated with ornaments of exotic materials (glass and Egyptian faience beads, and also ostrich egg shell beads). The assemblage testifies to an archaic trade with the Mediterranean region before the establishment of the first Phoenician colonies on the southern Iberian coast.

  • Aspectos Geográficos O Concelho De Alandroal, Do Distrito De Évora, Localiza-Se Na Região Do Alentejo (NUT II), No Alentejo Central (NUT III)
    CONCELHO DE ALANDROAL Aspectos Geográficos O concelho de Alandroal, do distrito de Évora, localiza-se na Região do Alentejo (NUT II), no Alentejo Central (NUT III). Ocupa uma área de 544,1 km2 e abrange seis freguesias: Nossa Senhora da Conceição, Juromenha (Nossa Senhora do Loreto), Santiago Maior, Capelins (Santo António), Terena (São Pedro) e São Brás Matos (Mina Bugalho). O concelho apresentava, em 2005, um total de 6339 habitantes. O natural ou habitante de Alandroal denomina-se alandroalense. O concelho encontra-se limitado pelos seguintes concelhos: a norte, Vila Viçosa; a oeste, Redondo; a sul, Reguengos de Monsaraz; e a este, território espanhol. Possui um clima de influência marcadamente mediterrânica, caracterizado por uma estação seca bem acentuada no Verão. A precipitação ronda os 500 mm entre os meses de Outubro e Março e os 170 mm no semestre mais seco, sendo bastante irregular. A sua morfologia é marcada por um relevo relativamente suave, destacando-se, com menos de 500 metros de altitude, a serra Patinhas (351 m) e, com maior altitude, o monte do Castelo (638 m). Como recursos hídricos, destacam-se o rio de Lucefece, o rio Guadiana, a ribeira de Alcalate e a ribeira do Alandroal. Neste território localiza-se a barragem do Alqueva, no rio Guadiana. História e Monumentos Alandroal foi fundado em 1298 por D. Lourenço Afonso, Mestre de Avis, e, em 1486, recebeu foral. Nas terras deste concelho crescem aloendros, ou alandros, cuja madeira é usada no artesanato local, e daí a origem do topónimo. Como acontecimento de destaque, merece referência a explosão de um armazém de pólvora, ocorrida a 14 de Janeiro de 1659, que causou vários mortos, na generalidade estudantes universitários de Évora, capitaneados pelo jesuíta Pe.

THE WINDOW ON THE (SOUTH)WEST: THE SOUTHWEST IBERIAN BRONZE AGE FROM A LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE (CA. 3500 - 800 BCE) By BIANCA VISEU, B.A. (Hons) A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Bianca Viseu, 2020 McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2020) Hamilton, Ontario (Anthropology) TITLE: The Window on the (South)west: The Southwest Iberian Bronze Age from a Long-Term Perspective (ca. 3500 – 800 BCE). AUTHOR: Bianca Viseu, B.A. (Hons) (University of Toronto) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Tristan Carter NUMBER OF PAGES: xiv, 130 ii ABSTRACT This study combines long-term settlement data with short-term excavation data to explore the conditions that led late prehistoric communities in Iberia’s southwest to aggregate during the Late Bronze Age [LBA]. This long-term approach involves the application of geographic information systems [GIS] to identify settlement patterns in the Central Alentejo from the Late Neolithic [LN]/Chalcolithic to the Late Bronze Age (ca. 3500 – 800 BCE). In the Serra d’Ossa microregion of the southwest there are 176 sites that date to the Neolithic/Chalcolithic, only two that date to the EBA/MBA, and 27 that date to the LBA. This shift is directly related to the Chalcolithic “collapse” that occurred in the mid/late third millennium BCE, influenced by both sociocultural and environmental factors. The LBA of the southwest has long been defined by the emergence of a new culture associated with a concern for defensiveness and warriorship, represented on stone stelae by warrior iconography, and by the emergence of large-fortified upland sites that appear during this period.

Portugal, through ANEPC, actively participates in the work related to the implementation and development of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM), since its adoption. This participation stems from an obvious awareness of the importance of this tool for international cooperation, as well as the benefits it brings to the country in terms of prevention, preparedness and operational response, which have been clearly visible through the various assistance missions which have been mobilized to national territory over the last few years.
