dc.description.abstractThe excavations of preventive nature, lead under the author’s direction in the old convent of Jesus, presently the Academia das Ciências de Lisboa, between June and December 2004, correspond in reality to a smaller part of the area that could have interest due to the existence of a mortuary deposit of human bone remains, in most part already non‑articulated and incomplete. This vast deposit is a continuous layer showing in some cases an intentional disposition of its elements, in particular some long bones and skulls, and also includes a range of diverse archeological remains, from domestic ceramic fragments of the 17th‑18th centuries to house building materials, food remains, coins and coal fragments, amongst others, related to the daily life of this urban population. Some of the human remains show alterations due to the exposition to intense sources of heat. Such modifications are compatible with the generalized fire which devastated the city of Lisbon following the earthquake of 1755 and, consequently, this is the first evidence of victims of this catastrophe that, as unrecognizable corpses, were buried in sacred ground, as it was usual in the epoch. In fact, under this bone layer, many bodies were buried, sometimes one over another, all of them in dorsal decubitus, generally with the arms crossed over the chest, a position characteristic of the Franciscan monks, related to the fact that the Convent belonged then to the “Ordem Terceira de São Francisco”. Besides the convent monks, also buried could have been in that place the inhabitants of the surrounding area of the city, before 1755. The material remains found in relation to these bodies included several elements of personal use and many pins used for the burial of corpses.pt_PT
