Summary/Abstract: This paper was written in the framework of the research undertaken by the authors, over the last two decades, with Jorge Raposo. It focuses on two main sites of the Lower Tagus basin: Quinta de São João (whose functionality has not been determined) and Quinta do Rouxinol (amphorae and coarse ware production site). Both sites are located close to each other, in front of the city of Olisipo (Lisbon), one of the most important harbours of Lusitania, and within one of the main areas concerning the production of amphorae for the exportation of salted-fish and wine. In this text we discuss the differences of the ceramic consumption patterns between Quinta de São João (whose stratigraphy runs between c.70 and c.425 AD) and Quinta do Rouxinol (whose stratigraphy runs between c.235 and 425+ AD).
