Afinal, é mais Corso que Entrudo...

15th Symposium on Mediterranean Archaeology                                         

Catania University – Sicily                                                                      

(3-5 March 2011) 

“Phoenicians in the Azores: Myth or reality?” 

Nuno Ribeiro, Anabela Joaquinito, António S. Pereira                                                        

Portuguese Association for Archaeological Investigation (APIA)

We present here a synthesis of what is known about the existence of archaeological remains in 

the Azores archipelago (Portugal) located in the centre of the Atlantic. We will analyse the trails 

mentioned in Greek mythology and in Mediterranean legends. We will also analyse the first 

reports of the XVth century discovery of the archipelago, as well as discuss the veracity of a 

claim of the XVIIIth century discovery of IVth century BC coins. This treasure of Hellenic, 

Cirenaican (Lybia) coins was supposedly found in the year 1749, following a severe storm on 

Corvo Island which churned up sediments associated with a structure located by the beach. 

We shall also discuss the scarcity of archaeological excavation and investigation in the Azores, 

and finally we present some data resulting from two visits to Corvo Island (Occidental group) 

and Terceira Island (Central group) in August 2010. An important complex of various types of 

undetermined structures was discovered excavated in the rock. Some are of the hypogeum type, 

probably pre-Portuguese, and in some cases may have been used until now to protect the animals 

from inclement weather. These monuments are undated and have not been properly excavated in 

part due to the apparent absence of archaeological material. 

We hope to “characterize” and record these structures in 2011. Their architecture shows parallels 

with those found in various Mediterranean cultures  such as the Etruscan (Banditaccia 

Necropolis, located in the area of Cerveteri); Hellenic; Egyptian (mainly in the Ptolemaic 

Dynasty and the Macedonian Dynasty of 305 to 30 BC); Talayot (Majorca and Minorca Islands – 

Necropolis of Cuevas de Cala Morell, Calescoves etc.) and in Sardinia, for example.

Só podem ter sido adulteradas, deve ser do Entrudo, que tal propicia.

Dizer uma barbaridade dessas, sem artefactos datantes, sem fundamentação em contextos arqueológicos devidamente aferidos, só pode ser piada de Carnaval da Lusa.

A única coisa que há de cariz arqueológico no Corvo são naufragios.

Assunto: [Archport] Revista SÁBADO, 5 de Março 2011

Transmito uma notícia da revista Sábado, no mínimo polémica, a
propósito dos vestígios arqueológicos encontrados nas ilhas do Corvo e
da Terceira. Será que a revista adulterou a informação oferecida pelo
Presidente da APIA (http://www.apia.pt/ ).
