Abstract
O sítio arqueológico da Telhada, na freguesia de Vermoil (Pombal), começou por ser intervencionado no âmbito do projecto de doutoramento de João Pedro Bernardes, que desenvolveu o PNTA/98 “A Civitas de Collipo – Povoamento, Metalurgia e Arqueomagnetismo”. Mais tarde, Maria Pilar dos Reis efectuou uma curta campanha de limpeza e prospecção, em 2016. Classificado como vicus, ou mansio, tanto quanto conhecemos sem termas, com ocupação identificada de finais do século I até, pelo menos, ao século V, este sítio revela-nos informação sobre a ocupação rural do interior da civitas de Collipo, conforme assinalado em estudos já publicados. As estruturas arquitectónicas que se conhecem no local indicam um investimento significativo, existindo uma abside de 6,80 metros de diâmetro interno com pavimento em opus signinum. Em estreita articulação com a Câmara Municipal de Pombal e a Junta de Freguesia de Vermoil, iniciaram-se em 2023 novas intervenções arqueológicas. Estas tiveram como objectivo principal uma primeira avaliação do sítio arqueológico da Telhada, através de uma limpeza cuidada que permitiu expor e melhor compreender as estruturas previamente escavadas. Adicionalmente, procedeu-se ao estudo da documentação e espólio das escavações antigas, procurando proporcionar uma interpretação e leitura do sítio à luz dos conhecimentos actuais. Esta primeira abordagem pretende aferir o potencial deste monumento e qual a melhor forma de o valorizar, de modo a que o sítio se torne acessível ao público.
The archaeological site of Telhada, in Vermoil (Pombal), began to be intervened as part of the doctoral project of João Pedro Bernardes, who developed the PNTA/98 “A Civitas de Collipo – Povoamento, Metalurgia e Arqueomagnetismo”. Later, Maria Pilar dos Reis carried out a short cleaning and surveying campaign in 2016. Classif ied as a vicus, or mansio as far as we know without baths, with an occupation identified from the late 1st century until the 5th century AD, this site reveals information about the rural occupation of the interior of the civitas of Collipo, as pointed out in studies already published. The architectural structures known at the site indicate a significant investment, and there is an apse of 6,80 meters paved in opus signinum. In close collaboration with the Pombal Municipality and the Vermoil Parish, new archaeological interventions began in 2023. These had as main objective an initial evaluation of the archaeological site of Telhada through careful cleaning, which allowed to expose and better understand the previously excavated structures. In addition, the remains from previous excavations were studied in order to provide an interpretation of the site in the light of current knowledge. This approach aims to assess the potential of this monument and how best to enhance it, so that the site becomes accessible to the public.
