Abstract
Entre 2018 e 2020 decorreram trabalhos arqueológicos na Cidade Velha, a antiga capital de Cabo Verde, que prosperou entre os séculos XVI e XVII como entreposto atlântico do comércio de escravos e base de apoio à navegação oceânica. As escavações incidiram sobre dois locais: um contexto habitacional numa das suas principais artérias, a rua da Banana, e num dos mais antigos espaços de culto do arquipélago, a igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário. Estas intervenções permitiram recolher novos dados sobre o urbanismo e espaços de habitat da antiga cidade aquando do seu abandono no século XVIII, bem como sobre a configuração daquela estrutura religiosa. A investigação articulou-se com o programa educativo do Museu de Arqueologia, de Cabo Verde.aquando do seu abandono no século XVIII, bem como sobre a configuração daquela estrutura religiosa.
