- Upper Morgado Shelter, Still a Peripheral Funeral Context, or Perhaps Not? (Tomar, Central Portugal)Publication . Cruz, Ana; de Senna-Martinez, João Carlos; Santos, Luis; Relvado, Cláudia; Ribeiro, Cheila; Fernandes, Teresa; Curto, AnaThe Upper Morgado shelter is a karst cavity located in the Nabão river valley whose material culture is in many aspects associated to the dolmen world. This shelter was used and reused in a long diachrony (since Neolithic times until the Early Bronze Age). Exchange and /or Interchange is confirmed through the occurrence of some metal artefacts that observed a complete set of relationships with items found travelling through the Portuguese Estremadura and Alentejo, across borders to Almeria and as far France. The upper Morgado shelter fi ts the purpose of a long-term study where the thesis that the funerary features themselves travelled across borders as ideological exchange. Recent research found several ritual actions regarding the systematic burial of individuals of both sexes and of all ages. Since the primary burial, in an unstructured pit, that with time transforms itself into a Chalcolithic ossuary; further complemented with vestigial nuclei of human bones from the Neolithic. Those ossuaries were posteriorly displaced and containerised in a circular rock structure, with small rock niche-ossuary structures containing a limited number of unstructured bones. All this material culture behaviour results in the complex nature of this site.
- Cultural Integrated Landscape Management: A Humanities PerspectivePublication . Oosterbeek, LuizThe current volume reunites some texts of the author reflecting on these interactions between the Humanities and the global concerns of human societies governance. The seven chapters move from a debate on the role of the humanities in contemporary society (chapter 1 ), focusing on archaeology as an epistemological reference for a new methodological and governance framework (chapter 2), through its relations with economy (chapter 3), with inter-cultural processes assessed from an anthropological perspective (chapter 4), and with science (chapter 5), leading towards a new approach to management as a Humanities domain (chapter 6) and a related discussion on its legal implications (chapter 7). The volume concludes with a brief invitation to engage in networking involving different but convergent territorial concrete cultural integrated landscape management context, as a necessary step to produce a more robust framework of reference, rooted in praxis.
