Nicolau, Porto, based on elements provided by the construction of an undergroundcar park.This square is part of the urban area of Porto¡¯s historical zone, in which the coordination of the works ofgeophysical prospecting with archaeological ones was considered relevant. Thus, the former determined thelocation of the archaeological surveys, which, once completed, revealed a settlement sequence going fromthe 17th century to the 20th century, despite material remains dating back to Roman times.Today, this square is a mere flicker of the commercial and human bustle which the material memories cannotglorify. %K Archaeological surveys %K urban space %K Early Modern/Modern times %K Porto %U http://ler.letras.up.pt/uploads/ficheiros/10405.pdf
