Núcleo Arqueológico da Associação Comercial e Industrial de Guimarães
The ACIG Archaeological Center emerged as a social responsibility initiative. During the remodeling and rehabilitation works of its headquarters building, Casa dos Lobo Machado, archaeological surveys were carried out, the main result of which was the appearance of a vast collection, both in terms of chronology and in terms of the type of pieces.
Rua da Rainha D. Maria II, 58 4800 – 431
Guimarães
Description
In this sense, exhibition spaces were created which, being open to the general public, allow to make Guimarães's past a little better known.
A total of 30 pieces are part of the Visitable Collection exhibited at the ACIG Archaeological Center, of which 23 are ceramic pieces and 7 are metallic pieces.
The 23 ceramic pieces are divided into 3 distinct chronological groups. A first group of 7 pieces is formed by medieval ceramics, dated between the end of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th century. It consists of pieces that should have been mostly produced in the Prado / Barcelos region. In this set, an infusion of French origin stands out.
The second ceramic group, with a total of 11 pieces, dates from the 2nd half of the 18th century. In this case, the variety of shapes and productions is greater than in the previous group. It contains pieces coated with lead glaze, earthenware and pieces in common use. Regarding the shapes, we have, among others, bowls, cushions, salads and plates.
The third group of ceramics, dating from the end of the 19th century, includes pieces probably produced in Guimarães, such as pitchers and a pot to go to the fire. Of this set, two glazed cellars stand out, possibly produced in the Prado / Barcelos area.
Finally, inside the metallic objects, adornment objects can be seen, such as a ring, some coins and a votive medal. An interesting piece from this group is a small rattle, probably for a cat, made of copper and silver alloy.
