Starting next week, and throughout the month of July, in the context of the field internships of the Bachelor’s and Master’s courses in Archeology at the University of Minho, the Cultur-Monts Lab2PT team will intervene in the Portuguese window, promoting two archaeological campaigns whose results will directly contribute to the project, which aims to study, publicize and promote the archaeological and heritage resources of mountain territories.

A first team, led by researcher Helena Carvalho, and which will be co-directed by Paulo Bernardes and Jorge Ribeiro, will develop a prospecting campaign in the municipality of Terras de Bouro, focusing on Geira Romana, the quarries associated with the route, and some of its milestones.

A second team, led by researcher Rebeca Blanco-Rotea, will intervene in Arcos de Valdevez, in the agro-pastoral landscape area of ​​Extremo.

The two interventions will involve the participation of a dozen students, contributing to their training, and will have logistical support from the Archeology Unit of the University of Minho.
