This article is about an enclosure that would normally be defined by its walls. There are many other sites like this in the Iberian Peninsula. Traditional accounts would interpret this site as a fortified settlement, although the excavation director Susana Oliveira Jorge has written in more ritual terms of a monumentalised hill. However, there is another issue, and it underlies and forges the construction of both of these accounts, they are constituted through the spatial. The spatial distributions of ‘architectural’ and ‘material culture’ elements are key to these understandings. But what of their temporal dimensions? The enclosing walls of Castelo Velho are a complicated maze of different construction projects that rarely crystallise into clear static forms, and appear to be as much material practice as architecture. Fragments of pottery, as well as slabs of stone, make up these entwined structures and because of this I used the pottery to get at space in a different way. In particular, I have utilised the temporal qualities inherent in assemblages of potsherds in order to understand the temporality of the entanglement of walls. Pots, like walls, are not frozen objects but have extended histories and if you locate these alongside the extended histories of buildings you get an overlap. It is this overlap that adds an extra temporal complexity that enhances the understanding of the site. In this article, I consider the significance of this temporal trajectory, and how it reconfigures accounts of the making and unmaking of space in the Chalcolithic. Keywords: time, fragmentation, pottery, architecture, practice, history Resumo Accoes no Tempo: depois da fragmentacao da cerâmica e antes da construcao de estruturas em Castelo Velho de Freixo de Numao Este texto centra-se na arquitetura do recinto murado de Castelo Velho de Freixo de Numao (Vila Nova de Foz Coa), datado do III/1a metade do II milenio AC. A arquitetura destes recintos murados e tradicionalmente associada a sistemas de fortificacao, sendo a sua construcao uma resposta a necessidade de defesa de pessoas e bens. Porem, desde meados dos anos 90 do seculo XX, tem-se multiplicado os pontos de vista sobre este tipo de arquitetura, surgindo novos modos de discutir a sua espacialidade e temporalidade. Com o proposito de contribuir para esta discussao, pretendemos explorar o entrelacamento entre os “elementos arquitectonicos” e os “elementos de cultura material”. Os muros que definem Castelo Velho sao um complicado labirinto de distintos projetos de construcao que raramente se cristalizam em formas claras e estaticas. Pelo contrario, sugerem que se ensaie uma ideia de arquitetura como um conjunto de complexas praticas materiais. O estudo que agora se apresenta partiu da analise cerâmica para tentar compreender a construcao do espaco de um modo diferente, pois o entrelacado de estruturas nao e apenas composto por lajes de pedra, mas tambem por fragmentos de cerâmica. Prestando particular atencao as qualidades temporais de conjuntos de fragmentos cerâmicos especificos, tentaremos compreender a temporalidade do emaranhado das paredes. Os recipientes cerâmicos, tal como as paredes, nao sao objetos congelados. Estes vestigios materiais apresentam longas historias que, colocadas ao lado das historias de construcao, oferecem um conjunto de sobreposicoes de acontecimentos. Sao estas sobreposicoes que, ao adicionar complexidade temporal e espacial ao estudo destes contextos, aumentam as possibilidades de compreensao do recinto.
