In recent years, the Portuguese Prehistory, namely at the south, has been subjected to a real empirical revolution, with the emergence of innumerable new contexts of great scientifically and heritage importance.

This new contexts, incorporated in some new research projects looking for renew the traditional functionalist and materialist speech about Neolithic and Calcolithic, allow to start handling aspects related to cosmological visions and ontological matters of these communities and the way as it determines their landscape organization, their “building” construction, their objects manipulation, their funerary practices…

Recent years have revealed an increasing integration of the data from Biological Anthropology analysis within Portuguese prehistoric funerary contexts. These two disciplinary fields progressive integration has upgrading the available information about Portuguese prehistorically funerary rituals and gestures, making a contribution to clarify certain aspects, obliging in some cases a change of paradigms that were until recently consensual in the archaeological community (as the assumed secondary nature of the collective burial contexts in Recent Prehistory).

It is developed a joint reading, to draw the Portuguese prehistoric funerary rituals main guidelines, especially between VIIº and IIIº millennium BC.

14. Histories of a Cult – Our Lady of Remedies, in Lamego - Aida Carvalho

In the beginning of XVI century would have been at the Lamego our Lady of Remedies present location, a smaller church dedicated to Saint Stephen Cult. The ruinous state of the Temple led to reshuffle works and the new chapel was dedicating to Marian devotion, Our Lady of Remedies. Is not our aim in this space to analyze all this complex reconstruction and expansion of the sacred space but mainly provide the necessary elements to understand the change of devotion.  Este ilustríssimo Prelado (Bishop of Noronha) foy o que collocou esta milagrosa Imagem naquella Igreja, depois de reedificar, & a senhora com as suas maravilhas & grandes milagres, fez que já hoje se não nomeie aquella casa com o título do Protomartyr Estevão, senão pela Casa da Senhora dos Remédios.[1] In order to understand and explain the Our Lady of Remedies cult genesis we need to work on the erection of the Our Lady of Remedies Brotherhood. This institution dating back from the end of Middle Age embodies the roots of Our Lady Worship. Its creation results from more than one kind of "seasonal viral contamination" seems to be the result of an emulation continuous devotion context and modern conceptions of reformers result of Council of Trent decisions, promptly disclosed in Portugal, promoting Marian devotion. The brotherhood became dependent of a social organization and a culture or cultures, hierarchically stratified and referred to social groups in power and influence. And, was, certainly, this set of social religious relations and political party who organized its relation with the cult that, in fact, was given and, at the same time, gave structure in correlativity but, somehow, subjugating, girding and penetrating it.

Key-words: Devotion, Cult, Brotherhood
