The Castro de Guifões (Matosinhos, Noroeste de Portugal), strategically settled nearby the river Leça, has been studied by several archaeologists, since the end of the XIX century. In 2016, new archaeological excavations led to the recovery of sediment samples for archaeobotanical analyses. This work presents the carpological results (fruits and seeds) of samples from four campaigns, covering a large time-span, between the Iron Age and the Late Antiquity, as well as a diverse set of archaeological contexts. The results showed a predominance of cereals, mainly broomcorn millet and naked wheat. Rye, and above all foxtail millet and barley appeared in smaller amounts.

In this text, we present the preliminary results of the project “Rock-cut graves from Northern Portugal and the Douro Valley (SER-NPVD)”, a project that intends to systematize the information about the rock graves in the North of Portugal, covering both banks of the Douro valley and the entire territory located north of this river. We also present an outline of the identified sites and correlated graves, approaching their main features and the type of funerary space in which they are inserted. Furthermore, we propose a first insight focused both on the integration of these monuments in the landscape, and on their relation with some of the structuring patterns of settlement.

The aim of this text is to present a set of glasses collected in Castro de Guifões (Matosinhos), in the first campaign of excavations carried out under the GUIFARQ Project. The recovery of these elements provided a basis for material study, from which classifications and frameworks were proposed; also, lines of reflection were drawn around the importance of glass and its circulation in Late Antiquity. Relating mainly to tablewarealmost all these glasses result from local or regional production activity. Importation, in turn, is represented at least in a single, but remarkable, occurrence: a fragment of a bowl bearing engraved figurative decoration, currently unparalleled in the Iberia Peninsula Northwest.
