“…Our palaeo‐geographical reconstruction reveals that the Phoenicians would have had open‐water access ~20 km up the Rio Mondego estuary at least as far as Santa Olaia, which would have given them access deep into the Portuguese hinterland. There are no mineral sources near the site, but there are large tin deposits up‐river (Map, 1960): Santa Olaia would have served as an ideal processing and transhipment centre from metal‐ore‐bearing locations further inland along the Rio Mondego (Edmondson, 1987: 34 fig. 3.5, 242–3; Pereira, 1997: 218).…”

“…It is in the valley of the Rio Guadiana, a long and wide tidal river which marks the border between southern Portugal and Spain. Phoenician interest in Castro Marim presumably resulted from the mineral resources located farther north along the Rio Guadiana (Map, 1960; Edmondson, 1987: 32 fig. 3.3: 20–29, 212–14; Custódio, 1996a; Custódio, 1996b; Rego, 1996).…”

The 2002 Joint Expedition of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and the Centro Nacional de Arqueologia Náutica e Subaquática examined Phoenician maritime involvement in Portugal, combining archaeological, geological and geophysical surveys of former coastal sites—Santa Olaia, Abul and Castro Marim—where previous excavations have uncovered Phoenician remains. Significant geomorphic evolution of bay‐head delta and estuarine settings masks the fact that Phoenician sites were situated at the head of marine embayments or on estuary margins, had easy access to the sea, and immediate access to at least one natural anchorage. All sites exhibited topographical criteria familiar from Phoenician trading‐stations and merchant outposts in the Mediterranean. © 2009 The Authors

“…Salt producers at Kibiro in Western Uganda trade their salt as a utilitarian commodity but the producers are not independent of patronage and produce some of their salt for the cattle of the Bunyoro king (Connah 1991(Connah , 1996Connah et al 1990). Likewise, salt and salted products produced in the western regions of the Roman Empire demonstrate tremendous variability in their social roles (Curtis 1991;Edmondson 1987). This variability is replicated in many other contexts of salt production and use as well, and it demonstrates the difficulty in essentializing the identity of products.…”

Excavations at a salt-production site named Zhongba in the Three Gorges region of China document a complex system of intersecting activities that changed gradually over a long period of time. As the salt production became much larger in scale during the Bronze Age, the context of this production shifted from one for which there is no archaeological evidence for attachment between producers and those who control the products to a situation in which the exchange of salt to other regions seems to have been controlled, or at least directed, by an emergent elite whose authority was based in part on divinatory ability and the control of ritual knowledge. This study examines the concept of context in relation to the organization of salt production at this site and argues that multiple lines of evidence must be considered if we are to avoid simplified assumptions concerning the nature of products and the production processes through which they are made.

“…Embora a existência de armações para a captura do atum, por exemplo, seja mais do que uma possibilidade, antecedendo a chegada dos Romanos, a verdade é que pouco ou nada sabemos sobre as embarcações e técnicas de pesca e menos ainda sobre os pescadores. Pelo contrário, o nosso conhecimento sobre fornos de ânforas e ânforas, inclusive através de achados subaquáticos, é muito generoso 22 , a ponto de fazer esquecer outros aspectos que permitiriam uma avaliação mais correcta do que algumas até agora publicadas 23 .…”
