GUIFARQ \u2013 Guif\u00f5es Archaeological Research Project
\n<\/strong>Andreia Arezes (coordinators)<\/p>\n

From April 27 to May 29, 2026, another archaeological excavation campaign took place at the Castro de Guif\u00f5es (Matosinhos) as part of PIPA GUIFARQ\u2014the Guif\u00f5es Archaeological Research Project. This project, coordinated by Andreia Arezes (CITCEM, Faculty of Arts, University of Porto), with the collaboration of a team that ensures its trans- and interdisciplinary scientific scope, is based on a collaboration agreement signed between the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto, the Matosinhos City Council, and APDL \u2013 Port Authority of the Douro, Leix\u00f5es, and Viana do Castelo, S.A.<\/p>\n

As part of the National Plan for Archaeological Work and carried out under the auspices of CITCEM \u2013 Transdisciplinary Center for Culture, Space, and Memory, this project serves as an example of how scientific research intersects with the educational and practical dimensions of archaeology and with the promotion of heritage and the local area, in close collaboration with the community. In fact, since 2016, the Guif\u00f5es Hillfort has served as a \u201cfield school,\u201d where students in the Archaeology program at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto put their learning into practice and prepare for their professional careers, both in the field and in the office, as part of the course \u201cField Archaeology Practices\u201d (3rd year of the aforementioned degree program). At the same time, the center hosts and offers guided tours to large groups of students from various educational institutions, as well as to anyone interested in learning about archaeological practice and related research in all its various aspects and dynamics. With the community and the importance of science communication in mind, an exhibition titled \u201cBetween Land and Sea: Monte Cast\u00ealo de Guif\u00f5es,\u201d was conceived to celebrate the project\u2019s 10th anniversary and is on display at the Matosinhos Museum of Memory (MuMMa) through November 1, 2026. This exhibition offers a glimpse into key aspects of the ongoing archaeological process, allowing visitors to view firsthand some of the most iconic artifacts unearthed and to explore the lines of research and interpretation being pursued at this pivotal site in the Northwest, which has been continuously occupied since protoprehistory to the Early Middle Ages and unfolds in close connection with the Le\u00e7a River and the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n
