Abstract(s)
A correspondência remetida por Abel Viana a J. Leite de Vasconcelos, existente no Epistolário deste último, conservado no Museu Nacional de Arqueologia (Lisboa), abarca um período entre 1923 e 1940. As 35 missivas que a integram possuem interesse desigual, centrando -se no tempo entre os finais da década de 1920 e os primórdios da seguinte. Procurou -se averiguar os benefícios que para Abel Viana resultaram do estabelecimento de colaboração regular, por via epistolar, no domínio da Arqueologia e da Etnologia, com J. Leite de Vasconcelos, personalidade proeminente e influente no meio científico e académico. Em sentido inverso, comprovou -se a utilização, por este último, de informações transmitidas pelo seu correspondente, como aliás se verificava com muitos outros dos seus colaboradores espalhados pelo País.
Com efeito, a correspondência espelha os primórdios da investigação arqueológica desenvolvida por Abel Viana, no Alto Minho, sua região natal, prosseguida depois fugazmente no Algarve, entre 1933 e 1938 e, por fim, centrada no Baixo Alentejo, quando passou a residir definitivamente em Beja, a partir de inícios de 1939, onde atingiu a sua fase de plenitude, acompanhando assim as etapas da sua vida profissional e pessoal, determinada pela sua condição de Professor do Ensino Primário Oficial.
The correspondence from Abel Viana to J. Leite de Vasconcelos, in his epistolary, kept in the National Archaeological Museum (Lisbon), covers a period between 1923 and 1940. The 35 letters gathered have unequal interest, focusing in time between the late 1920s and the following dawn. We tried to verify what benefits resulted to Abel Viana from the regular collaboration, through epistolography in the field of Archaeology and Ethnology, with J. Leite de Vasconcelos, a prominent and influential figure in scientific and academic circles. In reverse, we proved the use by Vasconcelos of the provided information passed by its correspondent, as indeed it was verified with many others informants around the country. Indeed, the correspondence reflects the beginnings of archaeological research developed by Abel Viana following the steps of his personal and professional life, determined by being a teacher of Public Elementary School. He started in Alto Minho, his native region, then after passing in Algarve, between 1933 and 1938, finally centred in Baixo Alentejo, when he definitely inhabit in Beja, from early 1939, where it reached its maturity phase.
