Abstract
portuguesE objectivo deste texto dar a conhecer um conjunto de vidros recolhidos no Castro de Guifoes (Matosinhos), no âmbito da I campanha de escavacoes desenvolvidas ao abrigo do Projecto GUIFARQ. A exumacao destes elementos proporcionou uma base de estudo material, a partir da qual se propuseram classificacoes e enquadramentos, e se delinearam linhas de reflexao em torno da importância do vidro e da sua circulacao na Antiguidade Tardia. Fundamentalmente respeitantes a formas de mesa, estes vidros resultam, na sua quase totalidade, de uma actividade de producao de âmbito local ou regional. A importacao, por seu turno, surge representada pelo menos numa, mas notavel, ocorrencia: um fragmento de taca com decoracao figurativa gravada, actualmente sem paralelo no Noroeste peninsular. EnglishThe aim of this text is to present a set of glasses collected in Castro de Guifoes (Matosinhos), in the first campaign of excavations carried out under the GUIFARQ Project. The recovery of these elements provided a basis for material study, from which classifications and frameworks were proposed; also, lines of reflection were drawn around the importance of glass and its circulation in Late Antiquity. Relating mainly to tablewarealmost all these glasses result from local or regional production activity. Importation, in turn, is represented at least in a single, but remarkable, occurrence: a fragment of a bowl bearing engraved figurative decoration, currently unparalleled in the Iberia Peninsula Northwest.
