O sítio arqueológico do Enterreiro, Castro Marim (original) (raw)

During the monitoring of the reconstruction of São Sebastião Fort, in Castro Marim, it was identified an archaeological site, Enterreiro. This site, located on the banks of a tributary stream of the Guadiana River, offered a significant number of archaeological materials collected in the water which fills the saline. The location and the implantation, joined with the excellent preservation of part of the archaeological set, may indicate the existence of a harbor, operating mainly in the second half of the first century A.D. Although this presumed anchorage can’t be related to the human occupation of the fort hill, it may be linked to the one detected in Castle Hill.
