These ceramic building materials are an essential component of construction. Some of these pieces show potter\u00b4s marks, of different categories, that allow access to the production world of these materials. This investigation is a first typological classification of the 1216 marks from ATC materials, collected from 41 archaeological sites in Bracara Augusta (Braga, Portugal). Most of the marks were collected from the domus of Carvalheiras, one of the most emblematic archaeological sites of the city, currently under a musealization process. With this work it was possible to correlate the studied marks with specific terracotta types (shapes), context distribution and associated chronologies. The results suggested an organized and dynamic production, and an open-market, supported by numerous officinae, certainly of different sizes. Some of them were located near the housing area and reveal the presence of a large number of workers, including women and children. Further approaches on mineralogical, chemical and technological characterization of ATC, linked with stratigraphy, are under development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/heritage4040227","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,2]],"date-time":"2021-11-02T22:14:52Z","timestamp":1635891292000},"page":"4126-4147","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Architectural Terracotta Marks of Bracara Augusta (Braga, Portugal): A First Typology Classification"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1792-9145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lab2PT\/IN2PAST, Institute of Social Sciences, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Filipe","family":"Antunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Museum of Archaeology D.
