Cerâmicas islâmicas no Garb setentrional “português”: algumas evidências e incógnitas

Abstract

This paper presents a first synthesis about the presence of Islamic ceramics in the northern territory of the “Portuguese” Garb, based on bibliographic research, with the aim to expose and discuss the material presence / absence of Islamic prototypes between the 8th and 12th centuries, comparing the realities known in the north and south of the Douro River. From its mapping, an attempt will be made to define and characterize geographic and population realities, with particularities related to their greater or lesser relation with the Islamic word, thus contributing to the definition of a territorial limit of Garb al-Andalus from archaeological data.
