- Resum
- The diet of the Algarve populations during the Almohad period (12-13th centuries) included marine mollusks. From two archaeological sites recently studied—Cacela Velha and Castelo de Salir—we characterize those resour- ces and their usage by human communities. Cacela Velha is located in the south Algarvian coast, within the Ria Formosa Natural Park. The studied Islamic contexts show a predominance of common cockle (Cerastoderma edule), wedge clam (Donax trunculus) and oyster (Ostrea edulis), currently common species in the area. However, the most abundant species today, the chequered carpet shell (Ruditapes decussatus), is rare in the archaeological deposits. Other taxa, such as the great scallop (Pec- ten maximus) and bittersweet clams (Glycymeris bimaculata, G. glycymeris e G. nummaria) were used for purposes besides food. Castelo de Salir is located 20km from the coast, in the transition from the Barrocal to the Serra do Caldeirão ranges. The studied materials revealed a preference for chequered carpet shell. The collection suggests the existence of shellfish distribution networks connected to more interior areas of Garb al-Andalus. Other sites from the same period in Southern Portugal yielded a majority of chequered carpet shell, common cockle, oyster and wedge clam, especially in areas where the access to rocky shores was difficult.
