OLIVEIRA, Carlos Ramos. Centro de Estudos de Antropologia Cultural: a brief memory. []. , 18, 2, pp.307-310. ISSN 0873-6561.

At the end of the sixties, the author decided to study Anthropology, having made acquaintance with Prof. Jorge Dias and his team at the Centro de Estudos de Antropologia Cultural (CEAC). In 1970 he joined this team and, in 1971, he finished and submitted his graduating dissertation, a community study of Fuzeta, a fishing village in the Algarve. In 1972, for several months, he gathered data for an ethnological report on the Tawara of the Zambezi valley, a people that lived in the area to be flooded by the Cabora Bassa dam; this work was later published in 1976. In 1973 he studied at the London School of Economics, seeking to further his knowledge on the ecological approach in the study of human populations. In 1974, in view of the lack of professional perspectives, he quit the CEAC, although he kept lifelong bonds of friendship with the CEAC team.
