Mount Farrusco. Intra-site survey of an uncertain Roman site in Alto Alentejo (Fronteira, Portugal)

The increasing agricultural intensification in the Alto Alentejo region (Portugal) poses a significant threat to archaeological sites. Conducting intensive surface surveys to identify and document Roman settlements prior to their degradation or potential destruction represents a valuable strategy to...

Conducting intensive surface surveys to identify and document Roman settlements prior to their degradation or potential destruction represents a valuable strategy to mitigate the impact of agricultural activities, allowing for the efficient and rapid collection of archaeological data. In this context, an intensive survey and the systematic collection of archaeological material was carried out at the Monte Farrusco site in late 2021. This fieldwork yielded a substantial amount of construction materials, dolia, and metal slag, likely associated with smelting activities. Although the diagnostic material was limited, the studied remains allowed to place the chronology of the site between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD. Furthermore, the site has been functionally interpreted as a possible farming production center, classified as an “open site.” Archaeological evidence suggests its main activities were related to surplus storage as well as textile and metallurgical production. La creciente intensificación agrícola en la región del Alto Alentejo (Portugal) puede conllevar una pérdida de enclaves arqueológicos. La realización de prospecciones superficiales intensivas para caracterizar y documentar yacimientos romanos antes de su degradación y posible destrucción puede ser una solución interesante para atenuar el impacto de las actividades agrícolas, recogiendo datos arqueológicos de manera efectiva y rápida. Así, a finales de 2021 se realizó una prospección intensiva en el enclave de Monte Farrusco, realizando una recolección exhaustiva de material arqueológico. La prospección superficial dio como resultado un elevado número de material constructivo, dolía así como escorias metálicas, probablemente de fundición. Pese al escaso material diagnóstico, los restos estudiados nos permiten situarlo cronológicamente en una horquilla entre los siglos I - III d.C. Además, se ha caracterizado funcionalmente como un posible centro de producción agropecuaria de tipo “Open site”, centrado en funciones de acumulación de excedente y producción textil y metalúrgica, entre las identificadas arqueológicamente.
