A produção de caldeiraria e maquinaria a vapor teve uma representação efectiva na cidade de Lisboa através da existência de oficinas de serralharia, durante os finais do século XIX e os inícios do século XX, das quais destacamos João Perez, família Collares ou Pierre Dumorá entre outras. A maior parte destas empresas não atingiam as dimensões em área, recursos humanos, ou mesmo em produção que as grandes marcas inglesas ou alemãs responsáveis por um abastecimento a nível global. Neste sentido é fundamental debater se estas oficinas ou espaços fabris seriam indiscutivelmente espaços industriais ainda que tendo contribuído abundantemente para um processo de industrialização,independentemente do sucesso do mesmo.Os registos oficiais das entidades reguladoras e dos inquéritos industriais nacionais apontam para uma actividade que terá deixado exemplares das suas criações únicas no território português. Alguns destes exemplares ainda se encontram no terreno com maior ou menor possibilidade de interpretação arqueológica. Como tantas outras materialidades destas épocas do passado recente, correm um sério risco de desaparecer.O objectivo deste trabalho é dar a conhecer as produções destas oficinas, com exemplos de equipamentos que ainda podem ser encontrados no território português, relacionando-os com aquilo que são os registos oficiais, com todas as limitações e problemas que os mesmos encerram.

Archaeological excavations made in the Senhor da Boa Morte church, in the Povos parish, found several fragments of hispano-moresque tiles decorated with two different techniques: corda-seca and arista in a clear tradition of Muslim decorative floral and geometric patterns. These, possibly dated from early 16th century, when the church must have been refurbished under the Count of Castanheira Palace influence, were used either to decorate walls of the altar. This paper also includes a few objects recovered in the Tagus Valley sand banks although without an archaeological context.

uma premissa: a de que a Arqueologia,

Considerando ser esse um debate estéril,
o autor defende que a negligência grosseira
a que se votam as estruturas industriais em “cota positiva”,
compromete irremediavelmente a compreensão
do que se pode encontrar no subsolo.

In the second half of the 19th century, the area known as Lezíria, in Portugal, started to use portable steam and traction engines in agricultural production. Out of more than a hundred original examples, all of them manufactured in England, little more than a dozen survive today, with different levels of preservation. This article studies these for the first time through an archaeological perspective, identifying their use and importance in different agricultural activities in the production of goods such as olive oil.

The 19th and 20th century industrial spaces in Lisbon tend to present important archaeological contexts, fundamental to the comprehension of Portuguese industrialization. From the small industries to large factories the study of these sites gives new insights in the known documents. This is the case of the Vulcano & Collares
foundry where an archaeological excavation discovered part of the factory with evidence of heavy machinery, furnaces, boilers among other spaces and equipments. This paper aims to present that evidence providing a contribution to the study of Lisbon industrialization so well recorded in documents, so poorly know from a material perspective. On the other end it also aims to contest the industrial delay that Portuguese historiography claims it happen in 19th century Lisbon based in this successful company.

Approximately hundred tin glazed ware objects found along the River Tagus are studied in this paper, the majority being plates and bowls. The absence of a well defined archaeological context forced us to base the study of this collection on form and decoration, providing a contribution to the study of Lisbon productions and the commercial movements along the Tagus River in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.

Steam engines became popular in Portugal
since the beginning of the 19th century, from agriculture
to industry. However, frequent accidents raised awareness
to the need to monitor the machinery in order to avoid
the serious injuries and material damage which could
result from the explosion of a boiler.
Created in 1891, Industrial Circumscriptions were
responsible for this monitoring. Steam engine owners
avoided them whenever they could, and several conflicts
arose, whose processes are fundamental for industrial
Archaeology. The authors deal with one
of such process from 1931.

O presente artigo apresenta o estudo de um conjunto de cinco garrafas e um pequeno tinteiro recuperados na superfície dos bancos de areia do rio Tejo, perto da localidade de Muge, no distrito de Santarém. Estes recipientes em grés posicionam-se cronologicamente entre meados do século XIX e inícios do século XX, relembrando que a zona onde foram encontrados oferece com regularidade, cultura material descontextualizada, de épocas diversificadas. É comummente aceite que estas garrafas transportavam gin, genebra ou água mineral, tendo como principais centros de fabrico os Países-Baixos ou a Alemanha.

This dissertation aims to study the industrial enterprises of José Dias Leite Sampaio,
the first Visconde da Junqueira (04-01-1804 – 23-12-1870) and how those investments
developed from 1843 to 1865, the year when the Companhia da União fabril was formed.
The starting point will be the Quinta da Alorna (in Almeirim) in 1843 and the
production developed there, especially wine, olive oil and possibly physic nut oil. The
buildings and equipment, namely steam engines, used in these different productions will
be approached. In 1857 the Visconde da Junqueira opens his first industrial unit in
Alcântara (Lisbon) producing stearin candles and in 1859 the fabric for soap production
opens and two years later a fabric the extraction of every known type of oil, except the
physic nut oil. This large industrial ground is in the hands of José Dias Leite Sampaio until
1865 when, together with two other industrial entrepreneurs, the Companhia da União
Fabril is founded.
It is important to valorise the historical importance of the Visconde da Junqueira
figure, a very important industrialist and a business man in the Portuguese
industrialization process in the second half of the 19th century, mostly in the candle, wine,
oil and soap industry.
This dissertation is thus a multidisciplinary exercise using methods and techniques
from different subjects such as Industrial Archaeology, History and Architecture.

The archaeological site of Alto dos Cacos - Almeirim, was detected by Dr Eurico Henri-ques in the early eighties of the last century, in the result of deep and extensive destruction
caused by farm (plough) works.
Despite the situations then observed, and repeated warnings to the IPPC, the site fell into
oblivion for over thirty years.
This aim of this study is to present a set of glandes plumbeaecollected at the site, framing
them in the military dynamics of the Tagus Valley.

Estudo sobre edifício situado na Quinta de Alorna (Almeirim), que terá sido o primeiro espaço deste município a possuir uma máquina a vapor para fins industriais no ano de 1851. É um dos empreendimentos fabris de José Dias Leite Sampaio (1804-1870), figura fundamental na constituição da sociedade que lançou as bases da União Fabril (denominada Companhia União Fabril a partir de 1865), que viria a transformar-se num dos maiores conglomerados industriais portugueses. O imóvel terá tido como função principal a produção de óleo de purgueira, utilizado no fabrico de sabão ou como combustível na iluminação.

O conceito de Arqueologia Contemporânea, relativo ao estudo de contextos arqueológicos dos séculos XIX e XX, é uma concepção recente em Portugal. Esta nova abordagem carece de publicações que abordem a temática e promovam o debate entre investigadores.
O presente livro reúne o trabalho desenvolvido por cerca de duas dezenas de arqueólogos em seis diferentes contextos arqueológicos contemporâneos, alvo de intervenções científicas ou no âmbito de obras de construção, em várias zonas do país.
