Chimney GH Kitchen (original) (raw)

The Great Chimneypiece of Danganbrack Castle and Ballykilty Manor

The Other Clare Vol. 48., 2024

This paper will attempt to show that the remarkable early-seventeenth century chimneypiece which was located in the ground floor kitchen at Ballykilty Manor in Quin until c.2010 had previously been situated in a nearby late-medieval MacNamara castle and has an interesting history to recount. The chimneypiece, according to its inscribed plaque, had been commissioned for, and most likely by, John MacNamara and his wife Onora Clancy in 1614.

Study on Domestic Kitchen Chimney

The domestic use of chimney is related to cleaning of the residential area from pollutants available from burning fossil fuels. Now a day's technology is developing and population is increasing day by day and as a result environmental problems are also increasing. So as a design work decided to make a chimney which can help the civilians and also economical for them. This chimney is very useful for common people and it is also use full for home, hotels, restaurant etc. cooking places.

Archaeological Building Recording Level 2 Report

A program of archaeological building recording Level 2, at Manor Farm, Elvington Road, Dunnington, North Yorkshire was undertaken prior to the proposed conversion of a cluster of six farming related buildings. The buildings had most recently been used as a piggery and the survey of the buildings revealed: • The East Barn is the earliest of all the 6 structures that make the present complex. This barn is likely to be 18th century in date. The barn originally had an upper floor. • The overall design of the complex is of interest due to the inclusion of two grand Pigeon Cotes positioned either end of the main structure facing the street frontage. • The South Cow House has to its southern external elevation a unique curved wall. This architectural statement only occurs on this elevation. The location of this curve may have been deliberate to enable more effective driving of livestock into the courtyard.

Of Hearths and Houses

Index of Texas Archaeology Open Access Grey Literature from the Lone Star State

During the 1993 East Texas Archeological Field School conducted at the Tyson site (41SY92) in western Shelby County, the junior author had an opportunity to participate in the excavation of a Caddoan hearth. The work was directed by Linda Lindsay, a graduate student in Anthropology at Southern Methodist University. This paper describes our findings and a few features of hearths and houses. One goal of the 1993 Field School was to explore the area around Feature 3 looking for evidence of a house. This was accomplished by opening a 6 meter by 6 meter unit referred to as Block 1. Feature 3 had been excavated in 1992 and found to be a 1.2 meter in diameter, round, basin shaped pit containing a large amount of daub, bone, and Caddoan pottery sherds. Near the bottom of the pit was a zone of ash. Charcoal and mussel shell from Feature 3 yielded three calibrated radiocarbon dates of about 1425 AD. When Block I was completely exposed, a number of other pits and postholes were seen in plan vi...

Documentation and Sustainability of Construction Techniques for the Protection of Cultural Heritage: Kitchen Hearths and Chimneys in Traditional Diyarbakır Houses

Dicle Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesi Mühendislik Dergisi, 2022

This article analyses the construction techniques of the kitchen hearths (fireplaces) and chimneys in the kitchens of traditional Diyarbakır (Turkey) houses. The first part of the study examines the historical development of kitchens. The second part investigates the architectural features of the kitchens of traditional Diyarbakır houses and the construction techniques and smoke evacuation methods of the hearths and chimneys in these kitchens. For this purpose, the hearths and chimneys of traditional kitchens, which are still used in their original form, and those of the demolished houses have been examined. They all have been documented by drawings and photographs. This study aims to contribute to the documentation and sustainability of cultural heritage and traditional construction techniques, and to guide the restoration practices that will be carried out in Suriçi.

The Charcoal, in "Report on a Programme of Archaeological Works at Country Market, Osborne Farm, Kingsley, Bordon, Hampshire September 2012"

Report on a Programme of Archaeological Works at Country Market, Osborne Farm, Kingsley, Bordon, Hampshire September 2012 (West Sussex Archaeology), 2012

This chapter reports the charcoal results and environmental reconstruction from data collected by West Sussex Archaeology Ltd. on behalf of Country Market at Osborne Farm, Kingsley, Bordon, Hampshire, (February - November 2011.) Three Romano-British pottery kilns, belonging to the Alice Holt industry, were excavated, together with a pit containing an Iron Age saddle quern, an earlier prehistoric/Romano-British field boundary and a post-medieval trackway. The charcoal results relate only to the Late Roman Alice Holt kilns

An Investigation into Irish Historical Ceramics: the Brick of Arch Hall, Wilkinstown, Co. Meath

Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, Section C, 2005

A letter written in 1710 by Robert, first Viscount Molesworth, to his wife describes ongoing work to the garden of their estate in Co. Dublin and to the digging of ponds and the subsequent making of bricks. This connection between the formation of designed landscape and the production of brick for building purposes has prompted the following scientific investigation. The paper applies physical science to the study of eighteenth-century Irish brick in order to gather information about its provenance and the source of its constituent materials. Analytical techniques were employed to study the bricks used to build Arch Hall, a mansion house dating from the first half of the eighteenth century with an extensive demesne in Co. Meath. Clay samples were collected from the demesne, fired in the laboratory and analysed for comparative purposes. The results indicate that the bricks are hand-made with silica-based, predominantly non-calcareous clay of glacio-fluvial origin. Firing temperatures ranging between 700ºC and 1000ºC were deduced based on mineralogical and colour changes during firing. The colour of both the original brick and the fired samples is consistently orange-red. This is due to the presence of dispersed hematite formed during firing in an oxidising atmosphere from the iron-bearing minerals in the clay. The petrography of the pointing mortar was used as an additional resource to gather evidence for provenance. The brick temper and mortar aggregate are consistent with each other and with the geology of the area, suggesting a local source for both the brick-making sediment and the mortar aggregate.
