Souto: Subsídios Arqueológicos (original) (raw)

2013, Souto da Carpalhosa – Oito Séculos de História (Souto da Carpalhosa: Junta de Freguesia do Souto da Carpalhosa)

For its 8º centunary the Junta de Freguesia do Souto da Carpalhosa (Town Council of Souto da Carpalhosa) promoted a series of archaeological, historical and etnographic researches, resulting in the publication of a monograph study: Souto da Carpalhosa – Oito Séculos de História. Among the results, a necropolis near the town’s church would reveal proof of settling dating back to the second half of the XVI century. Pre-historical artifacts also came to light, as well as evidence of vanished farms and villages. An inventory of the remaining traditional houses and economic means in the region, such as mills and presses, was also conducted, revealing long gone traditions, livelihoods and ways of life.
