Full textThe present research integrates efforts from a wider-ranging project which is defined by the Archeological Program from Baixo Vale do Ribeira coordinated by Professor Maria Cristina Mineiro Scatamacchia. The Archeological Program from Baixo Vale do Ribeira aims, in short, the production of archeological knowledge about different human societies that occupied the coastal plain Cananéia-Iguape since the pre historical period. In this case, specifically, the proposal was to aggregate into the research efforts the Bom Abrigo Island, presenting interpretations on the material culture found there and its role in the formation and development process of the historical society that was established in the Brazilian territory from the XVI century on , in particular of those communities from the coastal plain Cananéia-Iguape. The focus of our discussion is defined by the Maritime Archeology which analyzes the different aspects of what we can classify as a maritime culture and its importance in the social, political and economical processes produced by the different human societies. This relation with the maritime environment is also reflected in our research methodology which applies techniques of underwater archeology. In a broad sense, the research performs a macro analyzes of the Bom Abrigo Island proposing interpretations about three different contexts of archeological interest identified there: the whaling station, the lighthouse complex and the "Prainha" bay. In the three contexts we aimed to discuss the importance of the maritime culture in the formation and development process of the commercial, mercantile, capitalist society which was established in the coastal plain Cananéia-Iguape from the very first years in the XVI century, and which served as a basis for the formation of the current Brazilian society.

Full textO Século XX foi palco de duas Guerras Mundiais e de uma não declarada Guerra Fria. Por meio dos embates surgiu uma grande diversidade de sítios arqueológicos com diversas tipologias provenientes de diferentes nações. A Arqueologia das Guerras Mundiais, dentro de um contexto histórico, se propõe a estudar os testemunhos materiais remanescentes dos períodos belicosos, dando ênfase ao cunho social que existe por trás da cultura material. Através do presente estudo, pretende-se contribuir efetivamente com a Arqueologia Brasileira, trazendo para o dado contexto alguns dos estudos relacionados à temática da Arqueologia das Guerras Mundiais em países estrangeiros disponibilizando um aporte bibliográfico inicial sobre essas pesquisas no Brasil. O trabalho mostrará as possibilidades da aplicabilidade do tema por meio de estudos de casos: o levantamento dos sítios de naufrágios da costa de Sergipe e das culturas materiais provenientes deles que chegaram a terra além do sítio de naufrágio formado pelos restos do navio Itapagé na costa do estado de Alagoas. A pesquisa tem como proposta mostrar a importância para a Arqueologia no Brasil de se realizarem estudos em sítios arqueológicos de naufrágios formados por restos de navios feitos com cascos de ferro tendo em vista que estudos náuticos arqueológicos envolvendo embarcações com essas características são inéditos no país.

Full textThis research has the objective of musealization of maritime archaeology in the city of Santos. For accomplishing that goal this research used the study of receptivity with students of a city public school to collect guiding data of the communication policy inherent to that process of musealization. The purpose is to work with the public archaeology using participative strategies that gather the people and the archaeological science, taking into consideration the museum and its audience. This study presents archaeological researches in the city of Santos. From those searches new possibilities of revisiting the history of the city arose originated from the archaeological field. However many of those archaeological collections are kept in other cities. For this reason it is of utmost importance that those archaeological findings stay in Santos so that its community has access to such knowledge through museological communication and expositive language. So the museum assumes contemporaneously a most important role by instigating its audience to participate in the valuation and preservation of such asset. As a Brazilian asset those musealized archaeological vestiges should stay to the service of the society and the society should stay to the service of preservation so to collectively build ways and solutions.

A canoa monóxila, popularmente conhecida como “canoa de um pau só”, por ser construída em um único tronco, é uma embarcação utilizada pelos indígenas do Brasil desde antes da chegada dos primeiros navegantes portugueses no século XVI. Apesar do crescente desenvolvimento tecnológico ocorrido ao longo dos últimos cinco séculos, em Pernambuco ela foi objeto de modificações adaptativas pontuais. O presente trabalho procura explicar a evolução da tecnologia da canoa monóxila, relacionando as transformações e acréscimos introduzidos sobre o casco monóxilo e as variáveis ambientais, socioeconômicos e históricas dos séculos XVI ao XX, entendida esta evolução como resposta às necessidades pertinente àqueles diversos contextos. Para atingir os objetivos desejados, foram utilizados os métodos e técnicas da Arqueologia Subaquática, com prospecções efetuadas na lagoa de Extremoz, RN, local onde foram encontrados 4 exemplares, cujas datações C-14 vão do século XIII ao XX. Um dos exemplares, a canoa Extremoz 04 (700 ± 30 BP), em conjunto com fontes etno-históricas e iconográficas, serviu como elemento na elaboração do modelo base, utilizado para o entendimento da evolução da canoa monóxila no período pós contato. Procurou-se estabelecer a relação entre os acréscimos tecnológicos introduzidos sobre o casco monóxilo e os novos usos e funções assumidos pela canoa no decorrer dos séculos. A presente dissertação se mostra relevante diante da inexistência de trabalhos de cunho acadêmico que versem sobre a tecnologia das embarcações tradicionais de Pernambuco, bem como por ter obtido a primeira datação de um artefato náutico anterior ao descobrimento do Brasil.
The dugout canoe, popularly known as “canoa de um pau só”, due to it is built on a single trunk, is a boat used by the natives of Brazil since before the arrival of the first Portuguese navigators in the sixteenth century. Despite the growing technological development occurred over the past five centuries, in Pernambuco it was the subject of specific adaptive changes. This paper seeks to explain the evolution of the logboat technology, relating the introduced changes and additions on the single trunk and environmental variables, socioeconomic and historical from the sixteenth to the twentieth, understood this evolution in response to relevant needs those different contexts. To achieve the desired goals, methods and techniques of underwater archeology were used, with surveys carried out in the lagoon of Extremoz, RN, where they were found 4 artifacts, whose C-14 dating will of the thirteenth century to the twentieth. One of the artifacts, the Extremoz 04 canoe (700 ± 30 BP), together with ethnohistorical and iconographic sources, served as an element in the development of the basic model, used for understanding the evolution of dugout canoe post contact period. Sought to establish the relationship between technological additions introduced on the single trunk and new uses and functions assumed by canoe over the centuries. This dissertation shows relevant given the lack of academic nature works that deal with the technology of traditional boats of Pernambuco and to have obtained the first dating from a previous nautical artifact to the discovery of Brazil.

Full textO conceito de paisagem Cultural Marítima é, na arqueologia subaquática portuguesa, de discussão muito recente. Com esta dissertação pretendemos analisar o impacto que este tipo de abordagem tem numa costa que é fortemente recortada e num litoral que é morfologicamente complexo, pois têm influência do Oceano Atlântico e do Estuário do Rio Tejo. O litoral de Cascais, localizado junto a Lisboa, é o espaço que pretendemos confrontar com este paradigma epistemológico. Fortes, fortalezas, faróis, portos, fundeadouros e naufrágios fazem parte de um leque que perspectiva uma utilização de longue durée onde as influências mediterrânicas estão presentes, mas com a singularidade de serem compreendidas e aplicadas pelo Homem atlântico. As relações e as redes entre o homem e os vestígios do passado náutico, directos e indirectos, serão observados numa diacronia centrada na época moderna, mas sem esquecer as influências históricas anteriores e os condicionamentos na época posterior. Esta análise, baseada na proposta teórica e metodológica de Chister Westerdahl, Ben Ford e Brad Duncan, faz uso do trabalho desenvolvido no âmbito do ProCasc – Projecto de Carta Arqueológica Subaquática de Cascais, da responsabilidade da Câmara Municipal de Cascais e do Centro de História de Além-Mar da Faculdade Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa e Universidade dos Açores).

Full textThis work deals with the emergence of the city of Aracaju as a modern landscape, aiming, at one time, to deal with multitemporal contingencies that enabled this emergency, without losing sight of its spatiality. The objective is to analyse the material characteristics of the Aracaju city landscape. To do so, we start with na archaeological approach of the landscape in relation with subjects such as history, anthropology, geography and architecture. The materiality, as a support of time, and its implantation, as a testimony in space, are the vestiges of the construction of Aracaju that we aim to emphasize. The temporality of capitalism will be contemplated by an archaeological approach, however, without compromising with an archeology of capitalism in order to avoid historical anachronism. Spatiality will be approached trying to balance the advantages and limitations of a systemic approach in consideration of the spatial characteristics of capitalism present in the conformation of the city. Attention will be given to navigation aiming to restore the "aquatic designs" as a condition of an historical transformation to the nineteenth century. Together with the environmental peculiarities and the space built, this activity brought a concrete dimension of the relations continuum that we understand by landscape.
Este trabalho aborda a emergência da cidade de Aracaju, enquanto paisagem moderna, visando, a um só tempo, dar conta das contingências multitemporais que possibilitaram essa emergência, sem perder de vista sua espacialidade. O objetivo é analisar as características materiais da paisagem aracajuana. Para tanto, partiremos de uma abordagem arqueológica da paisagem em diálogo com disciplinas como história, antropologia, geografia e arquitetura. A materialidade, como suporte do tempo, e sua implantação, como testemunho no espaço, são os vestígios da construção da Aracaju que objetivamos evidenciar. A temporalidade do capitalismo será contemplada por uma abordagem arqueológica atenta a seu caráter mundial, porém, sem se comprometer com uma arqueologia do capitalismo visando evitar anacronismo histórico. A espacialidade será abordada tentando equilibrar as vantagens e limitações de uma abordagem sistêmica à consideração das características espaciais do capitalismo presentes na conformação da cidade. O devido relevo será dado à navegação objetivando restituir aos “desígnios aquáticos” a condição de devir histórico imanente a penetração capitalista. Juntamente com as peculiaridades ambientais e o espaço construído tal atividade legou a dimensão concreta do continuum de relações que compreendemos por paisagem.

Full textThe aim of this Ph.D. thesis is to map and register the ports of the Ribeiras valley (SP) especially those situated in Cananéia that provide information about the period 1850-1950, when a capitalist production mode based on the trade of rice was developed in the region. The justification for this kind of approach is the necessity to evaluate the contradictions between the speech and the real society. Nowadays the region is known by its natural resources and historical buildings but at the same time it is the poorest region of São Paulo state. However, since the 19th century until today the ports have had a great structural dynamics. How to explain this conflict? By observing the context through a Maritime Archaeology based on the historical materialism. These contexts have been delimitated with mapping, registering and extensive surveying of the structures, patrimony and places related to evolution of water craft, ports and the commercial dynamics in urban environment. The result of the research was the understanding that two changes have caused huge transformation in the productive dynamics of the entire Ribeiras valley. The first one was the transition from commercial agriculture to commercial fishing and tourism. The second one was the inversion of the direction of the trade caused by the substitution of maritime transportation, first by river transportation/ railroad, secondly by the road transportation. This process put the profits in the hands of new economical agents, but kept the production of the speech with the old power owners.

Full textUsing as theoretical reference approaches focused on the Maritime Archaeology (MUCKELROY, 1978; ADAMS, 1998, 2002), on the Maritime Anthropology (MALINOWSKI, 1986 [1922]; DIEGUES, 1998) and on studies of Environmental Perception (INGOLD, 2000), we tried to develop and test the hypothesis that, notwithstanding the evidence of a cultural unity that allowed for the establishment of an ample shellmound society, people of the shellmounds were organized in regional coastal communities. These would have developed and organized in different maritime communities, both coastal and fluvial, in consequence of the different ways in which they (dialectically) related with the environment. To support such hypothesis a model was elaborated predicting underwater sites, an analyses was realized of the isotopic composition of strontium (HÖLZL, 1997; PRICE et al., 2000; BENTLEY et al, 2003; HODELL, 2004), of carbon and of oxygen (KEITH, 1964; COSTA, 2000; MIZUTA, 2007) present (in samples of shells and human bones) in shellmounds located along the medium and low Vale do Ribeira, as well as in sites at the central coast (Baixada Santista and Bertioga) and north (Ubatuba) of the state of São Paulo. The evidences were correlated to the theoretical approach through a proposal elaborated from the study of the formation processes of the archaeological record developed by Schiffer (1972). Based on these analyses, beyond differentiating the people from the medium Ribeira from the coastal shellmound people, it became possible, among other things, to propose a cultural borderline between the ensembles of sites of the south/center coast of São Paulo and the shellmounds of northern São Paulo and southern Rio de Janeiro. Specifically with regard to the shellmounds of Cananéia, the isotopic analysis of shells evinced, yet, that the locals and goals of collecting were more related to cultural aspects than to the simple exploration of the more abundant resources.

O presente trabalho versa sobre uma nova metodologia para ser aplicada na Arqueologia Subaquática, especificamente em naufrágios, onde em um único mergulho, dependendo das condições ambientais e do suporte técnico, o arqueólogo pode coletar até 37 dados sobre um mesmo naufrágio. A metodologia dinamiza e padroniza o cabedal de informações de um dado sítio arqueológico subaquático, o qual contempla desde o tipo de ambiente do sítio, as características geológicas e hidrometeorológicas, considerando também dados sobre cronologia, porte, estado, material construtivo, particularidades dimensionais, aparelhos e acessórios, tipologia e possíveis fatores causadores do naufrágio de uma determinada embarcação. Essa metodologia foi aplicada em três cascos desconhecidos soçobrados na costa pernambucana, tendo sido possível descobrir o nome da embarcação e o fator causador de um naufrágio, determinar os fatores causadores dos outros dois, bem como confirmar o nome de um e sugerir o nome do outro, mostrando a exequibilidade desse método

Full textEste es un estudio arqueológico marítimo de la época romana en la isla balear española de Menorca en el mar Mediterráneo. Los hallazgos revelan que la relevancia y utilidad de Menorca para Roma no radica tanto en su facilitación de la conectividad como en su capacidad para interrumpir las transmisiones marítimas e instar a los actores en la desestabilización regional. Las cuestiones de piratería ocupan un lugar destacado en este aspecto, aunque también se consideran otras cuestiones de seguridad, como la rebelión y la guerra. También se revelaron problemas derivados de la conceptualización estándar de la historia de Menorca durante la época romana como resultado de una "conquista" romana de las Islas Baleares. Al replantear las narrativas tradicionales sobre el interés de Roma en la isla, queda claro que la anexión de los puertos de Menorca y la pacificación de sus aguas pueden entenderse mejor como un componente clave en una iniciativa regional para garantizar la seguridad de las rutas marítimas occidentales críticas. Quizás incluso mayor estabilidad geopolítica en el Mediterráneo occidental.
This is a maritime archaeological study of the Roman period in Spain's Balearic island of Menorca in the Mediterranean Sea. The findings reveal that Menorca's relevance and utility to Rome lay not so much in its facilitation of connectivity as in its capacity to disrupt maritime transmissions and abet actors in regional destabilization. Issues of piracy figure most prominently in this respect, although other security concerns, such as rebellion and warfare, are also considered. Also disclosed were problems arising from the standard conceptualization of the history of Menorca during the Roman epoch as stemming from a Roman 'conquest' of the Balearic Islands. By reframing traditional narratives concerning Rome's interest in the island, it becomes clear that the annexation of Menorca's ports and the pacification of its waters can be better understood as a key component in a region-wide initiative to ensure the security of critical western sea lanes and perhaps even greater geopolitical stability in the Western Mediterranean.

Full textIlla Pedrosa was a small ship, 10-12 meters length, with a heterogeneous cargo, that was doing some redistribution trade around Empúries and sunk in 140-130 b.C. The study of the shipment remains, especially the Campanian A ceramic and italic amphorae, it can be established that the ship departure from Empúries and made a north-south route. The results of the study of Illa Pedrosa wreck, together with the comparative analyses of other contemporaneous sites, especially those geographically close to it, such as Cala Galladera (Cadaqués, Alt Empordà) and Aiguablava VI (Begur, Baix Empordà), it can be establish a model about the organization of maritime trade in Northeastern Peninsula. These heterogeneous shipments, id est different products from different origins, are characteristics of the navigation return towards the secondary ports. This situation is explained by the theory of the redistribution trade between principal and secondary ports (Nieto 1988, Nieto et al. 1989). The costal navigation from the secondary ports supplied the main ports with homogeneous shipments. In contrast to this situation, the trips of return were adapted to the demands of the secondary ports, in particular related to the products that they can find stored in the main ports. This coastal navigation was an integral part of a large-scale redistribution from other main ports. The infrastructure of each main port was also used to the small-scale distribution of products between some secondary ports, which were located in the limits of their hinterland. The information provided by the study of Isla Pedrosa allows to developing the theory Illa Pedrosa of X. Nieto about the redistribution of products and maritime trade between the main and secondary ports (Nieto 1988, Nieto et al. 1989).

Full textEn muchos aspectos, los sitios precerámicos de Casma son típicos de las ocupaciones precerámicas del resto del Perú. Sin embargo, en los sitios de Tortugas y Huaynuná de Casma se encuentran los inicios de la arquitectura no doméstica o monumental. Además, en el sitio de Huaynuná tambien hay evidencia de una ocupación "acerámica" que coexistía con los primeros asentamientos con cerámica del Periodo Inicial o Formativo Temprano. El reconocimiento de los sitios acerámicos en Casma llamó la atención a otros sitios que, aunque carecen de cerámica, tienen fechados radiocarbónicos después de 1800 a.C., es decir durante lo que típicamente se consideraba como el Formativo Temprano. Este hallazgo tiene implicaciones con respecto a la hipótesis marítima y el desarrollo de la sociedad compleja en la costa peruana.

Full textThis work deals with the localisation and functions of the Punic sacred places located at the strait of Gibraltar. The main purpose of this PHD is to discuss the links between those sacred spaces and navigation in this special part of the Mediterranean antique world. Using ancient writers’ quotes, talking about consecrated places on the shore of the south of Spain and the north of Morocco, we shall try and reveal a part of the sacred landscape that sailors and sea-sellers used to frequent. Many sites that have been excavated can be linked to a religious function (temple, sacred areas, holy caves or springs), we aim at discussing the evolution of those sites and the place they have in shore navigations and ports of trade
Este trabajo de tesis se centra en la localización y las funciones de los lugares sagrados púnicos del estrecho de Gibraltar. El objetivo principal de este proyecto es de describir los vínculos que existen entre estos espacios consagrados del litoral y la navegación en la zona del estrecho. Utilizando principalmente las referencias proporcionadas por los autores antiguos y los datos arqueológicos recuperados en las excavaciones de ambas orillas del estrecho (Andalucía, Algarve, Norte de Marruecos), intentamos describir, dibujar de la forma mas precisa posible el paisaje sagrado que los navegantes y comerciantes de esa época conocían. Varios de los sitios excavados tienen una función religiosa (templos, áreas sagradas, cuevas-santuario, fuentes consagradas), el objetivo del trabajo nuestro es presentar una síntesis de estos sitios, describiendo su evolución y el papel que ocupaban en las navegaciones costeras y en la red de puertos del estrecho

Castile, especially during the fourteenth century, has a clear misunderstanding of Mediterranean affairs. Only Cartagena, reduced to a minimum core urban, survives until the birth of Mazarrón in the second half of the fifteenth century. The political interests of the Catholic Monarchs and the projection of the Hispanic Monarchy in North Africa and the western Mediterranean, recovered the important role of Cartagena and the coast of Murcian district in the geopolitical context of the time.

Through heritage education, it is possible to establish a bridge between children and adults and their cultural heritage, thus ensuring their safeguard. The activities carried out, involved all age groups and contributed directly to the safeguarding and valuation of the legacy in the community. The foundation for the beginning of the proposed activities was Espaço Mar, created to spread the scientific culture of Azorean seas. This Space was born of the will of three distinct entities, concerned with scientific knowledge at sea level. It was a project that involved students, parents as long as others community members. That allowed the reversal of alienation and lack of social relevance that usually occur in patrimonial matters. We sought to foster an active process of knowledge, appropriation, and appreciation of the historical and archaeological heritage. In fact, it is our culture that allows us to differentiate from other locations at regional or even national level.

Como primeiro objectivo, pretendemos abordar os navios Angra B, D e F, desde o trabalho nos estaleiros até aos métodos adoptados na sua concepção e construção. Em segundo lugar procura-se integrar estes vestígios no seu contexto histórico regional e internacional, definindo a sua função, rota e área de operação. Esta abordagem considera a cultura material dos vários naufrágios e permite analisar aspectos sobre a vida a bordo e a operação dos navios. Como terceiro objectivo, tentamos contribuir para a caracterização da organização do porto, através do estudo integrado da paisagem marítima, apoiado na análise de cartografia, de dados de geofísica e em trabalho arqueológico intensivo, informação organizada num Sistema de Informação Geográfica. Esta fase da investigação inclui o estudo alargado dos vestígios arqueológicos existentes na baía de Angra, de todas as cronologias e origens, privilegiando a longa duração.
This PhD project aims to contribute for the study of Iberian ships and navigation in the in 16th and 17th centuries, through the archaeological analysis of three shipwreck sites and their maritime context, located in Angra (Terceira island), the main port of call in Azores archipelago during that period. The first objective is the study of the shipbuilding of Angra B, D and F ships, from the working stage in the shipyards to the methods adopted in its design and construction. The second is the analyses of those remains in their historical, regional and international context, setting its function, route and operation areas. This approach will consider the material culture and will examine aspects of life aboard and related to ships operation. A third objective, aims to contribute to the characterization of the harbour organization, through the integrated analysis of the maritime landscape, supported by cartographic analysis, geophysical surveys and intensive archaeological work, interpreted in a Geographic Information System project. This stage considered the general research of all archaeological sites on Angra Bay, besides there chronology and origin, focusing on a long term approach.

This situation is even more noticeable in the ichthyofauna, since its bones are usually more fragile and smaller than those of other taxa, but also because often they can be taken as natural intrusions of the surrounding aquatic environment. Accordingly, in the present investigation, the fish remains recovered from the shipwreck of Angra D, located in the bay of Angra do Heroísmo (Terceira Island), were identified and analyzed, with the aim of expanding, from a ichthyoarchaeological perspective, the knowledge that is currently held about foodways and healthiness on board of ships that crossed the Atlantic at the time of the Carrera de Indias (16th to 18th centuries C.E.). Through the analysis, it was possible to determine that most of the ichthyological remains belong to an anthropic accumulation, mainly because some of the identified species are exclusive to the western Atlantic, an underrepresentation of certain anatomical regions is observed, and several elements with cut marks and signs of combustion are appreciated, typical of a fishing processing method. The significant amount of skeletal remains scattered throughout the archaeological context, suggests that the Angra D crew fed on fresh fish caught in America, which processed and consumed before or at the start of the return trip to Spain, and discarded the bones inside of the ship. Moreover, the remains were preserved very well after the sinking, thanks to the good conditions created by the layer of stones that served as ballast to the ship

Full textThe present investigation is based on the problematization of the way in which technology and naval doctrine propitiated an evolution in naval defence policy, but also internal and external policy factors influenced the internal maritime front in the context of the Great War of 1914-1918. To what extent has this development marked the shaping of the Portuguese Merchant and War Navy in the face of a war on world trade, but also its interconnection with national political crises, or the consequences of the international naval blockade policies that have transformed the access to the sea. In order to contextualize the existence of the internal maritime front, two objectives have been supported which have led to the investigation, clearly recognizing the existence of a common plan inseparable between the economy and freedom in the seas, in a cause-and-effect relationship within the framework of evolution of war at sea and especially in its contribution to national belligerence in the world conflict. The first objective was to examine to what extent the technological and geographic framework influenced the transformation of the navy in order to understand the evolution of maritime defence and how the historical conceptions of the Atlantic and colonial space were linked to the peninsular and neutrality strategy. The second objective was aimed at examining the involvement of navy operational issues in the face of the national political goal of belligerence and the real and material threat that the evolution of the war to unrestricted maritime trade was progressively exerting. In brief, from a perspective that places the internal maritime front on a plane with a high relevance for an extension of its historical analysis, in a comparative and international environment, but also the interesting to confirm the importance of the internal maritime front for commercial logistics, defence of sovereignty and for national foreign diplomacy.

Full textThe history of Cartography has attributed a prominent role to Portuguese cartography of the 16th century and has noted the pioneering work of some Portuguese cartographers. In the 17th century, the activity of Portuguese cartography continued to be significant and recognized by other maritime nations but it was the cartography from the Netherlands, which acquired major relevance at a global level. However, during the 18th century, the European cartographic production intensified in quantity and quality, specially in France and England, while the Portuguese production declined steeply and the Portuguese navigation began to use foreign printed charts. In this dissertation we endeavoured to analyze the contexts which may have influenced the limited Portuguese cartographic production during the 18th century as well as performed a study comparing the cartographic production of the principal European maritime countries and above all identify and analyze the Portuguese cartographic production. This study is based on research involving several hundred charts existing in the Portuguese archives and libraries and although it shows that there was a concentration of resources in the cartographic activity and geographic recognition of Brazil, it also shows a general panorama of decline in Portuguese cartography and specially in the Portuguese nautical cartography. This situation was recognized by the responsible Portuguese authorities who sought solutions for this problem. Having recognized that there was a lack and paucity of good nautical charts, in 1798, the Sociedade Real, Marítima, Militar e Geográfica para o Desenho, Gravura e Impressão das Cartas Hydrograficas, Geográficas e Militares was created but its activity remained below expectations due to political and military events in 1807 and the conjuncture which evolved later. The answers to the nautical cartography needs were only obtained in the second half of the 19th century when the nautical activity in Portugal was institutionalized.

Full textAt the initiative of a group of naval officers and civilians, following the movement that had developed in Europe and the Americas since 1894, the Portuguese Navy League was created in 1900, with the statutory purposes of promoting the resurgence of the Navy, merchant marine, fisheries and recreational boating. Combining personalities and associations of the civil society with connections to naval and maritime activities, the first years of the Navy League closely followed its founding purposes. In 1908, after the Regicide, at the initiative of its main leaders, the League launched a National Congress, whose aim was to find solutions to the country's problems, which were worsened by the permanent crisis that Portugal had been undergoing since 1890. This congress, which took place in May 1910, convened monarchists and republicans of different currents of thought and approved more than a hundred "final votes", which were intended to reflect the debate of the theses submitted to the event. The establishment of the Republic in October 1910 constituted an obstacle to the pursuance of that debate, but not to the continuation of the initiatives of the Navy League in the political field, as was the case of the creation of the Liga Nacional/ National League (1915-1918), whose activity, brief as it was, contributed to the currents of thought that later formed the ideological substratum of the Estado Novo/ New State (1933-1974). In the post-war period, during the Nova República Velha/ The New Old Republic /1919-1926) the Navy League went through a period of lesser activity, which lasted until 1930 when it was summoned to cooperate in the propaganda of the naval program by the Dictatorship (1926-1933). Subsequently and under heavy and long-lasting financial pressure, the League voluntarily suspended its activity in 1939. This thesis aims to study the two dimensions of the Naval League, amid its great objectives of "maritime resurgence" and of "National resurgence", offering a contribution to understand its nature and its impact on the activities related to the sea, as well as in the currents of political thought in Portugal in the first decades of the XXth century.

Full textThe history of Ericeira village goes far beyond its famous beaches and its seaside resort status near Lisbon.There is a rich history of connection to the sea that deserves to be told, explained and visited. This is the main objective of this dissertation: Make a museum project, that can reunite, the most important moments of maritime history of Ericeira, in a single space. Drawing a chronological path that helps to understand the different times, using the latest museum techniques. For this, it was necessary to study in detail all the main moments of the maritime history of Ericeira, dividing it into 8 parts: Ericeira foundation and antiquity; The typical boats of Ericeira; Ericeira and fishing; Ericeira and the age of expansion and discovery; Ericeira port of commerce; The maritime people of Ericeira; Ericeira and the departure of the Royal family into Exile; Ericeira, tourism and surf. The Museum-Archive of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia da Ericeira, is the place where the collection of the most important pieces, from the History of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia da Ericeira and the village of Ericeira, are gathered: The first foral of the village of 1229; a Roman votive árula from the 2nd century AD, are the best examples of that. However over the years, and despite the efforts of the Santa Casa, the exhibition of the pieces has not evolved, without texts and without a chronological path that can help the visitor to understand, the various elements that make up the museum. There is also some concern regarding the conservation of pieces. On the other hand, there are scattered pieces (resulting from archaeological excavations or fortuitous finds) related to the maritime history of Ericeira and not found in AMSCME. In this situation, for example, the astrolabe "Ericeira" (which is in the Navy Museum), and the Roman funerary tombstone (which is in the National Archaeological Museum). It would make sense to bring these and other pieces together with the pieces of the AMSCME. Thus, this dissertation has as its object of study the compilation of all known studies and sources related to the maritime history of Ericeira. Secondly, a list of the pieces, existing in AMSCME, related to the maritime history of the village, as well as all the scattered pieces mentioned in the IPAAR Archaeologist Portal. Thirdly, to propose a new contextualization and proposal of exhibition of the pieces, with a museological and museographic project that adapts to the 21st century.

Full textA Paraíba é um dos nove estados do nordeste brasileiro localizado no extremo oriental continental das américas. Com aproximadamente 138 km de costa e uma posição geográfica privilegiada foi durante muitos séculos um porto, principalmente de escala, para grandes embarcações de longo curso e para a volumosa navegação de cabotagem. Da década de 1860 até meados do século XX, o ouro branco paraibano, o algodão, atraiu navios de vários países, principalmente, Inglaterra, que precisava dessa matéria prima para manter a "todo o vapor" a produção de suas máquinas. Conhecer as características e peculiaridades das navegações na Paraíba entre os anos de 1850 e 1950, resgatando a memória naval do Estado, foi o objetivo desse presente trabalho. Entretanto, a ausência de investigações arqueológicas na Paraíba, no âmbito da arqueologia naval, remeteu esta pesquisa a prospecção de documentos escritos, cartas, jornais, ilustrações, pinturas, fotos e testemunhos orais. Bancos de dados digitais, como a Hemeroteca da Biblioteca Nacional Brasileira, foram as principais contribuintes, permitindo uma busca sistemática e proporcionando uma grande soma de dados válidos que responderam as perguntas relativas as embarcações que navegavam no mar da Paraíba, suas cargas, nacionalidade e portos de origem e destino, as infraestruturas navais em terra e na água, as instituições públicas e empresas ligadas à navegação, os naufrágios e achados isolados, os profissionais do mar, e outros. Para a obtenção de informações, que muitas vezes excediam àquelas provenientes dos bancos de dados, recorreu-se à coleta de testemunhos orais de pescadores e mergulhadores, resgatando na memória daqueles que vivem na região há tantos anos, parte das experiências do passado. Ao longo do trabalho foi possível perceber as transformações tecnológicas provenientes da Revolução Industrial setecentista, como: a queda do domínio dos ventos na navegação e a ascensão dos vapores, que ao final do século XIX reinavam nas águas paraibanas; o surgimento de um novo modal logístico que diminuiu os custos e acelerou o transporte de mercadorias entre as áreas produtivas e os portos, o ferroviário; a morte de um porto colonial e o nascimento tardio de um porto com características industriais; entre outras. Em contrapartida, a Paraíba nos mostrou deficiências nas infraestruturas navais que mantiveram, durante todo o período estudado, o "odiado" comércio indireto, que impedia o desenvolvimento necessário do Estado, com a queda das arrecadações sobre as exportações e com os preços acrescidos de impostos de mercadorias europeias importadas por outros portos brasileiros. A presente tese compôs a primeira versão de uma carta arqueológica naval da Paraíba para os anos de 1850-1950, tendo sido identificadas 41 embarcações naufragadas e 5 achados isolados. Esperamos que esse trabalho contribua como ponto de partida para novas investigações e também para o desenho de estratégias de prospecções e escavações de sítios arqueológicos navais que serão adotadas em trabalhos futuros na Paraíba.

To bring experiences of insertion into a new world (based on its own characteristics and ethos), the book Instruções para a Brigada Real da Marinha, principiando pela escola do soldado até a de pelotão was chosen as the base document, a contemporary compendium of instructions on the policies of reorganizing and modernizing a Navy whose need to protect maritime trade with the Atlantic and the perceived threat of war with Revolutionary France had restructured it. Thus, instruction for soldiers is a preoccupation present in this modernization process, showing it to be essential to master the current technology.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis project was to conduct a comparative study between the Portuguese and English empires’ port systems, in connection with the imperial dynamics and maritime networks of both policies during the Early Modern Age - between the 17th and 18th centuries. For that purpose, we analyzed Angra do Heroísmo in the Azores, Funchal in Madeira, Cidade Velha in Cape Verde, Bridgetown in Barbados and Port Royal in Jamaica It is the intent of this study to analyze seaports of the New Portuguese and English Atlantic world based on the study of new territory occupation strategies and imperial models: new unoccupied territories versus new vindigenous territories. In this thesis we identify: 1) the criteria behind the selection of certain key locations for port structures construction; 2) the contexts and strategies that influenced the option for different solutions to transform the newly occupied landscapes; 3) analyze in what way this occupation determined or helped to define each expansion pattern in a specific region. In other words, the goal of the study was to understand the structures and their functions within the port's evolution and the imperial frameworks that determined or not a functioning model. The proposed matrix applied to port’s evolution resulted in a tool that, applied to port archeology studies, fulfilled the need for an overall view, thus contributing to a global approach to insular contexts during Early Modern age. In conclusion, the Portuguese and British empire’s port systems study in the Atlantic during the Modern Age is based on a multidisciplinary approach. It includes data from archaeological interpretation, geomorphology, cartographic sources and historical documentation that was all intersected and compared.

Full textIn the first part of this thesis, the difficulties associated with the navigation of the carreira da Índia on the route between the Azores and Lisbon are identified and analysed, although these are integrated into a more general problem of the global route and of Portugal's own political and economic relations with other European kingdoms. Without forgetting the weaknesses of shipbuilding, the structural degradation of vessels and the fact of these being often overloaded with merchandise, as well as the constraints of life on board of the ships, we will see how these aspects weighed heavily on the success of the trips, making it even more difficult to arrive to Lisbon. In addition to the dangers linked to the course of navigation and the very reality of physical geography, which could lead to shipwrecks and embankments, there was a risk of encounter with corsairs and pirates, whose presence between the Azores and the Portuguese coast proved to be very active. Other problems arose with the loss and smuggling of goods, not only of spices but also of slaves. On the second part the focus will be placed on the measures taken by the Crown to try to combat the aforementioned problems. This will involve support structures for shipping, a defense and information system, and the enactment of legislation. Thus, we will see the Azores as a fundamental stopover location of the carreira da Índia, but also Cascais providing an inevitable final support, including through the local navigators. On the defensive level, the coastal and the island's navy forces had played a fundamental role, just as the construction of fortifications helped prevent enemy attacks and benefited the protection that was intended to provide to ships returning to Portugal, determining the maritime cultural landscape. In order to establish communication between the Azores and Lisbon and keep the defense system up to date, there was an information system in place based on sending warning ships. Some of the news that circulated came directly from abroad, where the spies at Portugal's service were collecting data on the fate of the corsairs' navy forces or others that were preparing for different overseas territories. Finally, we will see the enactment of legislation as a way of trying to prevent the loss and smuggling of goods, as well as other extraordinary measures.

Full textMarine mammals are an animal group that can be used as a paradigmatic example for the history of science and for the history of natural history, both in Portugal and the Atlantic. Although being aquatic mammals living in an intimidating environment, they are big animals that need to come to the surface to breathe and have always motivated interests and raised questions throughout different human cultures around the world. In Mainland Portugal first references to marine mammals were found since the 12th century, through stranding records or whaling related activities registers in several coastal regions. In Portugal together with the Basque Country, the renowned place of birth of occidental whaling, an important whaling culture developed. These whaling activities and its techniques moved towards the Atlantic along with the oceanic Portuguese journeys since the 15th and 16th centuries. Also, other Atlantic records were made and descriptions were perpetuated through the exploration of the big and unknown Sea Ocean, first along the occidental African coast and the Atlantic islands and then across the ocean reaching the coast of Brazil during the 17th century. These narratives are particularly rich in terms of zoological descriptions and marine animal classifications, disciplines which were only recognized as so since the 18th century. The formal concept of Atlantic Naturalism, considered in this work, arose in a time of minds opening and new mental conceptions in parallel with the Encyclopedic Naturalism that resulted from the Renascence scientific and cultural movements. Nevertheless, there were few influences or connections between these two lines of natural science and they only cross each other very briefly. This may indicate that the Atlantic natural science had none or little expression in that period, probably as a result of few printed editions, the use of Portuguese instead of Latin or a poor dissemination of the knowledge. However, studying the historical sources and analyzing specifically the occurrence of whales, dolphins, seals, manatees and other big marine animals, we conclude that from the Portuguese Overseas relevant contributions to the formation and evolution of marine natural history came to light, in a context of scientific revolution and globalization of ideas and concepts.

Full textPollentia, in the Roman period, became the main city of the Balearic Islands. Since its historical foundation in 123 BC, a date which is not confirmed archaeologically, until the 6th century AD, moment in which the continuous decandence of the urban centre gave life, in the periphery of the roman town, to the city of Alcudia, stood as a central and focal point in the commercial dynamics of the Western Mediterranean. This Dissertation seeks to analyse the amphorae that were found during the archaeological interventions in the commercial port of Alcudia, Mallorca, in the year of 2015. Despite being tipologically diversified, the ceramic ensemble is composed by little more than 200 individuals. In spite of their relatively low number, and the lack of statigraphical contexts, these materials are verifiable evidences of the important part that Mallorca, and the Balearic Islands, played in the panoply of the commercial routes that connected the Italic Peninsula, in a first moment, and later the remaining eastern provinciae, to Hispania Citerior. We strive also to determine where did Pollentia stand as an economical power in the Late Republican period and the first centuries of the Roman Empire and if we can ascertain it as a potencial redistribution center of products to other parts of the insular territory.
