16th century portuguese fine redware from the Hospital Real de Todos-os-Santos, Lisbon

UID/HIS/04666/2013The archaeological works carried out in Praça da Figueira, Lisbon, between 1999 e 2001 allowed the recognition of diverse contexts of the Hospital Real de Todosos-Santos, in particular two hydraulic structures: one equivalent to the filling of a medieval oval well belonging to the vegetable-garden of the Dominican Convent, later reused by the hospital, and the other one recognised in the NE cloister internal perimeter. The study deals with this two material contexts, analising Portuguese fine redware productions, comparing these small vessels and trying to achieve their significance in this public building.publishersversionpublishe
