Pretende-se dar a conhecer alguns dos resultados da análise dos espaços da morte de época romana que foram escavados, no Algarve, ao longo de mais de um século. As conclusões obtidas não cabem, como é compreensível, num artigo de síntese sobre o tema. Porém, é importante a divulgação de alguns que delatam o estatuto e religião das gentes que habitaram o Sul da província romana da Lusitânia. Sublinhámos sobretudo as problemáticas que rondam a transição do tiro de cremação para o rito de inumação do cadáver e a possível visibilidade dos primeiros indícios de Cristianismo nas sepulturas destas necrópoles. Foram pesados os argumentos que favorecem e refutam uma ou outra situação, que aqui não podem ser expressados em toda a sua plenitude, mas que estão mais bem expostos na tese de doutoramento do autor.
We intend to disclose some of the results of the analysis of the spaces of death from Roman times that were excavated in Algarve for over a century. The conclusions obtained do not fit, as it is understandable, in a summary article on the topic. However, it is important to disclose some that denounce the status and religion of the people who inhabited the South of the Roman province of Lusitania. We have particularly emphasised the problems related to the transition from the cremation rite to the rite of inhumation of the corpse and the possible visibility of the first signs of Christianity in the tombs of these necropoleis. Arguments that favour and refute either situation were weighed, which cannot be fully expressed here, but are better exposed in the doctoral thesis of the author.
