Abstract
O projeto de investigação do património histórico-arqueológico de Vouzela (2016-2019) previa a prospeção do território, apesar de a densa cobertura florestal limitar severamente a sua realização. Porém, os trágicos incêndios de 15 de outubro de 2017 permitiram a abordagem extensiva das áreas ardidas (73% do território), o que resultou num aumento exponencial do número de registos em todas as categorias. Em termos da sua salvaguarda, implementaram-se medidas integradas no terreno (sinalização de sítios, contactos com proprietários, acompanhamento e fiscalização de trabalhos silvícolas, definição de áreas de não reflorestação, e ações de divulgação e sensibilização junto das populações locais) e em gabinete (inventário sistemático de ocorrências e definição de áreas de proteção georreferenciadas).
The research project on the historical-archaeological heritage of Vouzela (2016-2019) aimed at the survey of the territory, although this was severely limited by the dense forest cover. However, the tragic forest fires of October 15th 2017 allowed a more extensive approach to the burnt areas (73% of the territory) to be carried out. This resulted in an exponential increase in the number of sites in all categories. In terms of safeguarding, integrated measures have been implemented both in the field (site signalling, contacts with owners, monitoring and surveillance of forestry works, definition of non-reforestation areas, outreach and awareness-raising actions among local populations) and in the municipality’s services (systematic inventories and definition of georeferenced protection areas).
