Abstract
La tumba de Corte de Père Jacques (Aljezur,
Portugal) fue identificada durante trabajos
agrícolas en 1935 y parcialmente documentada
por J. Formosinho. A pesar del avanzado estado
de destrucción en que se encontraba la estructura,
este investigador pudo todavía observar que se
trataba de una cista conteniendo una inhumación
acompañada por todo ajuar de un conjunto
significativo de cuentas de collar, que hasta el
momento no se han estudiado en profundidad.
El estudio de estas piezas permite integrarlas en
algunos de los tipos más comunes de la Edad del
Hierro del sur portugués, pero también identificar
algún ejemplar con características peculiares. La
comparación de las cuentas de vidrio de Corte de
Père Jacques con el resto de los conjuntos conocidos
de la región del Algarve evidencia la existencia
de patrones de consumo de este tipo de piezas
diferenciados entre el litoral y el interior de la
región, y permite bien así establecer unos ritmos
específicos para la llegada, uso y amortización de
estos abalorios
The Corte de Père Jacques tomb (Aljezur, Portugal) was first identified during agricultural works and partially documented by J. Formosinho in 1935. Despite being already partly destroyed, this researcher was able to verify it corresponded to a cist containing an inhumation burial accompanied by a significant assemblage of glass beads which has not been analysed in depth since. The study of these pieces shows they belong to some of the more common groups in the Iron Age of southern Portugal, while there are also some examples with peculiar characteristics. The comparison between the glass beads of Corte de Père Jacques and the other assemblages currently known in the Algarve region puts in evidence that the consumption of this type of pieces follows different patterns in the coastal and interior areas of the region, and allows for an assessment of the specific rhythms of the arrival, use and deposit of these adornment elements
