Abstract
A Ponta do Castelo localiza-se em alto promontório, que entra pelo mar, e ali identificámos os testemunhos de dezanove estruturas habitacionais que apresentam crescimento orgânico, ou seja, não planeado, e arquitectura singela. O espólio exumado é diversificado, recolhido tanto no interior como no exterior das casas, e inclui objectos de pedra, metal ou de cerâmica. A localização deste assentamento, as casas reconhecidas, assim como a cultura material ali recolhida, indicam ocupação sazonal por comunidade que se dedicaria principalmente a actividades relacionadas com a exploração de diferentes recursos marinhos, nomeadamente à pesca.
Ponta do Castelo is located on a high promontory jutting out into the sea. There we identified the remains of nineteen housing structures evidencing organic growth, in other words, with unplanned layout and plain architecture. The archaeological remains unearthed inside and outside the houses are diversified, including stone, metal and ceramic artefacts. The location of this settlement, the type of houses identified, as well as the cultural material collected there are signs of a seasonal occupation by a community that would be mainly dedicated to activities linked to the exploration of various maritime resources, specifically by fishing
