The Roman occupation of Lezíria (Castro Marim, Portugal)

Abstract

Archaeological surveys carried out in the 80s of the 20th century in Castro Marim Municipality allowed the identification, through the collection of many materials on the surface, of a Roman site. These materials (terra sigillata, amphorae, Thin-walled pottery, and common ware) can be used to understanding the rural occupation of the Algarve territory, and the chronology in which this occupation began.
