Os horrea na Quinta de Crestelos (Mogadouro) na Idade do Ferro e Romanização: dados arqueobotânicos sobre armazenagem e construção

Abstract

O povoado da Quinta de Crestelos (Mogadouro) foi intervencionado no âmbito das medidas de minimização do Aproveitamento Hidroelétrico do Baixo Sabor. Na área mais elevada deste povoado, uma crista alongada, foram identificados 8 horrea com cronologias balizadas entre o séc. I a.C. e II d.C. Durante a escavação da área, foram efetuadas recolhas de sedimentos com vista à realização de um estudo arqueobotânico. Este tinha como objetivo de fornecer informações relativamente à utilização destas estruturas. Os contextos amostrados, compreendendo várias unidades estratigráficas dentro e fora das estruturas de armazenagem, revelaram uma grande diversidade de elementos vegetais carbonizados. Não obstante a identificação de grandes momentos de remobilizações de sedimento e reestruturações a que a crista do sítio da Quinta de Crestelos foi sujeita, os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que a área foi amplamente utilizada como espaço de armazenagem e que o trigo de grão nu terá sido o cultivo mais frequente, seguido do milho-miúdo. Foram recuperados também grãos de cevada e grainhas de uva, entre outros vestígios. Quanto à antracologia, entre as espécies mais frequentes contaram-se o medronheiro, Quercus de folha perene, esteva, freixo e pinheiro-bravo. Algumas das madeiras terão mesmo sido utilizadas na edificação das estruturas de armazenagem.

The settlement of Quinta de Crestelos (Mogadouro) was excavated in the scope of the construction of Baixo Sabor Dam (Aproveitamento Hidroelétrico do Baixo Sabor). Eight horrea were identified in the higher platform of the site, with chronologies between the 1st century BC and the 2nd century AD. Sediment samples were recovered during the excavation of the area and an archaeobotanical study was carried out in order to get relevant information regarding the storage practices associated with those structures. Several stratigraphic units were sampled inside and outside the storage structures and abundant carbonized plant remains were recovered. The results that were obtained were highly relevant, despite the complex history of the area, which included sediments being reused to create new platforms and structures being rebuilt or reshaped. Data suggest the area was widely used for storage and the main stored crop was naked wheat, followed by broomcorn millet. Grains of barley and grape pips were also recovered, among many other remains. Regarding wood charcoal remains, the most frequent taxa were Arbutus unedo, Quercus evergreen, Cistus sp., Fraxinus sp. and Pinus pinaster. Some of this wood was likely used for building the storage structures.
