Para além da sua interpretação como estação viária, a escavação arqueológica permitiu distinguir diversos momentos de construção associados à ocupação deste sítio em época romana e balizá-los, genericamente, entre os meados do séc. I d.C. e os finais do séc. IV d.C.
Apresentam-se os resultados do recente estudo da cultura artefactual exumada que se foca, essencialmente, num conjunto de materiais tidos como indicadores cronológicos e que permitem refletir acerca das fases de construção e do respetivo ciclo de vida deste arqueossítio.

It presents unique constructive characteristics and dynamics, which may, eventually, explain its broad use/reuse.
In this Complex, Bell Beakers were identified in two of the structures, one of them carrying the most extensive set of containers so far identified in Alto Minho. This existence connects the site with the Bell Beaker phenomenon at a regional level, making it possible to understand that the “Bell Beaker communities” who used Motas’ Complex, would be extremely open and permeable to new ideas, having reinterpreted, and made it theirs, a geographically extensive phenomenon.

Of the most relevant occupations within this wide diachrony (iron age, roman and medieval), we have now chosen to focus on the one that seems most significant to us, since it is unprecedented in this geographical scope: a large rectangular building with approximately 300 square meters, dated from 30 to 15 BC that we interpret as a Horreum, which may have been built in the context of the campaigns related to the pacification of Northern Hispania undertaken by Augustus.

The archaeological intervention carried out by Era Arqueologia S.A. at the foot of the northeast slope of Monte do Castelo in Vila Nova de Gaia, North of Portugal, was promoted by The Fladgate Partnership – Vinhos S.A., prior to the construction of a real estate project. The archaeological excavation highlighted, in an area of 900 square meters, a large occupational sequence that extends from the II Iron Age to the Modern Period, from which stands out a housing area of the 4th-3rd Century B.C. and a roman horreum built in the late 1st century B.C.

of Conimbriga, in Roman Lusitania. Recent archaeological fieldwork allowed discovering a junction of cobbled
roads and several buildings, covering a broad chronology between the middle of the 1st century and the end of
the 4th century. The presence of the said crossroad seems to have determined the settlement s spatial
organization leading to its interpretation as a way station, dedicated to the traveller’s rest. Appearing as part of
Conimbriga’s road map, they represent a part of this civitas viae vicinales.

In this intervention two small ditched enclosures, one possible hypogeum and several pits were identified, the majority dating from the Chalcolithic, as well as two cists dating from Bronze Age. The several features are characterized in their morphology and fillings and a typological study of pottery is presented. In the end some issues regarding the Recent Prehistory small circular enclosures (in which the two of Coelheira 2 can be integrated) that are appearing in Alentejo region are analyzed.

The archaeological site of Eira Velha is located near Lamas, in Miranda do Corvo, and used to be part of the ancient civitas of Conimbriga territory, (located a little less than 10 kilometers), integrated in the former province of Roman Lusitania. The recent fieldwork allowed bringing into focus a junction of cobbled roads with several buildings, covering a broad chronology between the middle of the 1st century and the end of the 4th century.
