- Abstract
The dissertation that is now being presented is a monographic study of the Castro de Segóvia, archaeological site located in the Elvas Municipality - Portugal, identified in the 70th decade of the XX century by Teresa Gamito and José Arnaud. The research work done has its origin in the typologic analysis of all the archaeological materials recovered within different excavation works, done in the decades of the 70th and the 80th of the 20th century and more recently, by myself in 2009. The study and systematic treatment of the materials allowed to straitened chronologies and phases of occupation, as well as to propose new interpretative readings of the space. This study was made over a large pottery ensemble, with roman importations such as amphorae, thin walled pottery, campanian ware, Terra sugillata and roman oil lamps, as well as local or regional productions of common ware, grey ware and a large number of decorated vessels. Therefore, this thesis aims to better identify and understand the cultural matrices and influences trough the diachrony of the occupation existing in the study area and in the neighbor territories, identifying changes and continuities which featured this border region of Alto Alentejo, in the last centuries of the first millennium a.C.
