Abstract
O sítio de Alto dos Cacos (Almeirim, Portugal),
situa-se nas imediações da Vala de Alpiarça e do Rio
Tejo, ocupando uma posição dominante sobre a zona
envolvente. Trata-se de um vasto sítio arqueológico
detectado no início dos anos 80 do século passado,
na sequência de profundas e extensas destruições
fruto de trabalhos agrícolas, mas que depois caiu no
esquecimento durante mais de trinta anos.
O inicio da sua investigação em momentos mais
recentes e os dados aferidos a partir de estudos
parcelares, entretanto publicados, de diversos
materiais arqueológicos aí recolhidos que se elevam
a várias centenas de artefactos dos mais variados
tipos, permitiram reconhecer a relevância do sítio
e identificá-lo como um acampamento militar
romano de época tardo-republicana.
O presente trabalho pretende dar a conhecer
de forma detalhada o seu numeroso e importante
conjunto de ânforas. À semelhança de outros
conjuntos actualmente conhecidos no quadro
de conquista do ocidente hispânico, o que agora
se estuda apresenta um padrão dominado pelas
primeiras produções próprias da província
Ulterior, destacando pela sua raridade a existência
de algumas ânforas com tituli picti
The Alto dos Cacos site (Almeirim, Portugal) is located in the vicinity of Vala de Alpiarça and Tagus River, occupying a dominant position on the surrounding area. It is a vast archaeological site that was detected in the early 80s of the 20th century, due to a deep and extensive destruction caused by heavy agricultural works. After it, was kept forgotten for more than thirty years. Only recently has started its research and the data that has been inferred from the study and publishing of several small assamblages of the collection, which consist in several hundreds of the most diverse artifacts, allowed to recognize the relevance of the site and identifying it as a Roman Late-Republic military camp. The present study intends to present a detailed study of its important set of amphorae. Like other amphorae assemblages currently known for the western Hispania, this set presents a pattern dominated by the first original amphorae productions from the province of Hispania Ulterior, emphasizing for its rarity the existence of some amphorae with tituli picti
