Resumo (PT):
The statue of wild boar from Ramilo, now presented, was recently discovered in the course of
agricultural work within the boundaries of the Duas Igrejas parish, Miranda do Douro Council, in
a property named Ramilo. This is an important find amongst the existing statues of the kind, as it
represents a male wild boar depicted with a number of sculpted details that altogether add to the
definition of the typologies of representation of the boar statues so far found in this region
Abstract (EN):
An archaeological survey carried out in an agricultural field located at Quintela de Lampaças,
Bragança, led to the discovery of a Late Antiquity grave. The structure in which the burial is settled is
made out of loose stones and clay building materials, and bears a rather unclear configuration that
diverges from the known funerary models from this epoch. The dating proposed for the set is the
second half of the Vth century AD, as suggested by the materials that are most suitable for dating,
such as the pieces of Late Terra Sigillata. Amongst the pile of clay materials that made the covering
of the grave was deposited one hammer during the funerary ritual. This hammer is of a known roman
type, and is a unique find in the region, in addition to being found in a rather unusual context.
