Abstract
Fragmentos de madeira dos raios das rodas utilizadas
no sistema de drenagem das minas romanas
de Rio Tinto e que se encontram depositados no
Museu Mineiro de Rio Tinto foram datados pelo
radiocarbono. Todos os fragmentos datados foram
identificados como de madeira de sobreiro (Quercus
suber) e as datas obtidas foram consideradas
como terminii post quem para o fabrico e utilização
das referidas rodas. Assim, estas serão atribuíveis
aos Sécs. I a III d. C.
Wood remains from spokes of Roman water wheels discovered in the Rio Tinto mines (Southern Spain) and currently deposited at the Mines Museum of Rio Tinto were radiocarbon dated. Five samples identified as wood from corkoak (Quercus suber) were processed providing post quem dates for the manufacture and use of the wheels. In this way, these Roman wheels must be ascribed to a period between the first and the third century A.D.
