This paper aims to present the data concerning Campanian
ware from Mesas do Castelinho (fig. 1) from the vast
collection of archaeological material recovered over 23
excavation campaigns (1989–2012) directed by Carlos
Fabião and Amílcar Guerra. The ensemble is one of the
most significant in what is now Portuguese territory, at
least of those already published2
, and raises several issues,
such as the presence of rare or unique forms or makes, but
perhaps most importantly, the observation of stratigraphic
sequences which allow us to establish a connection with
the Romanization of the settlement, its the relations with
the surrounding territory and its integration in trade routes
connected to the Mediterranean.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
