Carbonised wooden objects and wood charcoal from an Iron Age feasting context in North-western Iberia: The case study of Frijão (Braga, Portugal)

The site of Frijão in North-western Iberia was occupied during a period between the 4th and 2nd centuries BC and it is a very unique site in the context of the local Iron Age network. Its features suggest that it was a place to celebrate ceremonies related to feasting, in the same context 71 fragmen...

A with the project “Alén do bosque na Idade do Bronce do Noroeste da Ibéria. Estudo dos combustibles e das manufacturas en madeira a partir da cadea técnico-operativa”. The charcoal analysis was carried out in the Environmental Archaeology Laboratory of the InBio-Research Network in Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology (Associated Laboratory)/CIBIO-Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources/University of Porto.
