Abstract(s)
As escavações das décadas 20, 60 e 80 do século XX na necrópole da Idade do Ferro do Olival do Senhor dos Mártires, em Alcácer do Sal, as primeiras sob a responsabilidade de Vergílio Correia e as duas restantes dirigidas por António Cavaleiro Paixão, permitiram recolher um importante conjunto faunístico.
Os restos, variados quanto às espécies e no que diz respeito às partes do esqueleto representadas, foram recuperados quer no interior das sepulturas quer na área entre elas. A análise contextual que foi possível concretizar permite leituras acerca dos rituais praticados, que não se esgotam na clara evidência da prática de actividades que se relacionam com o consumo de alimentos na área da necrópole. Este consumo, que pode ter assumido o carácter de “banquete”, é aqui estudado, tendo em consideração as espécies consumidas, que são também abordadas na perspectiva de oferendas aos indivíduos sepultados.
Por outro lado, as características desta necrópole, cujos espólios e arquitectura evidenciam forte relação com o Mediterrâneo central e oriental, são determinantes na discussão das práticas de rituais orientais, no Extremo Ocidente, como as agora descritas.
60/80’s decades of the last century an important faunal set was collected. The remains, of different species and of different parts of the carcasses, were recovered either inside the graves or in the area there between them. The contextual analysis allows interpretations about the rituals practiced, witches are not only related with the consumption of food in the area of the necropolis. This consumption, which may have assumed the character of “feast”, is here studied, taking into account the consumed species, also discussed in the context of offerings to the buried. On the other hand, the characteristics of this necropolis, whose data (materials and architecture) show a strong relationship with the central and eastern Mediterranean, are crucial in the discussion of the practices of oriental rituals, in the Far West of the Mediterranean world.
