In the years 2021–2023, construction work was undertaken to rebuild two buildings in the
western part of the outer ward (Low Castle) of Malbork Castle. The work was carried out
under the supervision of archaeologists. At the same time, the first season of archaeological
research was organized in 2023 with the objective of conducting a more comprehensive
scientific examination of the Low Castle. This work resulted in a substantial amount of
new data pertaining to the development of this part of the castle.
This article presents the western row of buildings in the Low Castle of Malbork Castle
during the Middle Ages (Teutonic times) based on archaeological research (both present
and past results), stratigraphic observations, an analysis of the preserved masonry, as well
as written and iconographic sources. These provided important insights into the form
and development of the area prior to the commencement of construction work. The site
selected for development was situated between a natural valley and a depression extending
parallel to the River Nogat, over which a wooden wharf had previously existed. The
entire development of this section was meticulously planned from the very outset, but it
was implemented in stages with two identifiable main phases. A row of larger buildings
was erected on the eastern slope of the Młynówka canal (along the defensive wall), with
spacious courtyards on the eastern side. During the research and survey work, relics of the
courtyard walls were documented, which made it possible to reconstruct them according
to their original size and to clarify the layout and chronology of some of the buildings.

Human sacrifice and cannibalism, the potential for institutionalized violence or warfare, witchcraft or sorcery, and ritual executions arc emotionally charged issues; but some anthropologists and other learned scholars now suggest that these activities and behaviors occurred in the American Southwest, a region usually depicted for peace, harmony, tranquility, and spirituality. Christy Turner, Regents' Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Arizona State University, and his late wife, Jacqueline , are the co-authors of Man Corn. The book's title derives from the Nahuatl word tlacatlaolli, a "sacred meal of sacrificed human meat, cooked with corn." The Nahuatl and Mesoamerican connections are more than coincidental. The idea for this volume was conceived in 1958, and Christy dedicates the volume to the memory of his wife. They comment (p. 8) that "re search on cannibalism has not been free of controversy or political and professional censuring" and they cite instances where their work has been disbelieved, dismissed, or admonished. The narrative is divided into five chapters, supplemented by one six-page appendix (a discussion about and reproduction of four data-collecting forms), a four-page acknowledgment, 348 black-and white figures (halftones and iUustrations), III tables, and 499 references cited. There is also a detailed index to sites (n = 141) and an elaborate nine-page general index of conflated proper nouns and topics. I shall summarize briefly the major contents of each chapter and offer some comments before turning to an overall critique of the volume.

Im Rahmen meiner Diplomarbeit habe ich die Beziehungen zwischen den Pfarrherren und den Akteuren des Marktes, vor allem im Zeitraum von Reformation und Gegenreformation, in den Mittelpunkt meiner Betrachtungen gestellt. Eine genauere Darstellung des Sozialverhaltens der Protagonisten ist Ziel der Abhandlung. In einer großen Zahl an Regesten die im virtuellen Archiv „monasterium.net“ ediert sind, steht Gumpoldskirchen für Stiftungen, Kauf und Verkauf von Weingärten oder Handlungen von Pfarrer und Marktgemeinde im Blickpunkt. Diese Archivalien waren mir bei meiner Arbeit eine große Hilfe, geben sie doch ein lebendiges Bild über die Wechselbeziehungen und die lebhafte Kommunikation. An den Beginn einer Arbeit habe ich die Entstehungsgeschichte des Marktes gestellt, die bis in die Frühgeschichte reicht. Die Geschichte des Deutschen Ordens und der Ballei Österreich sind ein weiterer wichtiger Bestandteil dieser Abhandlung. Auch Besitz, Einkünfte und Stiftungen werden ausführlich behandel...

Este artigo propõe um estudo da obra do
intelectual francês Michel de Certeau (1925 - 1986)
a partir do entrelaçamento entre sua reflexão
acerca da Revolução de Maio de 1968 e seu
trabalho enquanto historiador da mística moderna.
Dando destaque à noção de “ação simbólica”, que
desponta em seus escritos sobre Maio, busca-se
iluminá-la pondo-a em relação com os
desenvolvimentos acerca do simbólico na
passagem do mundo medieval para a
modernidade. Examina-se o diálogo do autor com
as obras de Michel Foucault, Henri de Lubac e com
a psicanálise freudo-lacaniana, a fim não apenas
de explorar as ressonâncias da noção de “ação
simbólica”, mas também de dar a ver a
solidariedade entre seu pensamento teórico e o
engajamento espiritual do jesuíta Michel de
Certeau.

2025, Athar – Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman

The French Archaeological Mission in Central Oman (FAMCO) studies the diachronic settlement of Bisya, one of the Oman peninsula’s
main archaeological zones, in the Hajar mountains foothills. This region, which benefits from a location at the confluence of several
wadis and local mineral resources, has been populated since the Paleolithic. It experienced a particularly prosperous development
in the Early Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The first aim of the mission is to identify the development of human communities through
survey and excavation. The Palaeolithic program investigates the first settlements of the Arabian Peninsula, determining the presence
or absence of Neanderthal populations and their relationship to the arrival of modern Homo sapiens between the Lower and Middle
Palaeolithic. The central part of the mission focuses on the Early Bronze Age to understand the beginnings of the oasis agrosystem, the
domestication of the date palm, the first irrigation systems, the development of monumental domestic and funerary architecture, and
the appearance of local crafts (pottery, copper metallurgy). Our research aims to provide new evidence on the role of Oman (Land of
Magan in the Mesopotamian texts) within the Middle East during the Bronze Age, particularly its relations with Lower Mesopotamia
(Sumerian country), Iran (the region of Fars and Makran) and the Indus Valley.

Bolognese records of the Emperor Henry VI at the end of the twelfth century • This contribution illustrates the relations between Emperor Henry VI of Swabia (1190-1197) and Bologna through the analysis of some unpublished imperial documents, currently being published by the « Monumenta Germaniae Historica ». The study of these documents sheds light on the political strategy adopted by the Emperor towards Bologna and its territory within the broader context of the clash between the Swabian Empire and the Communes of the Po Valley. The research examines not only Henry VI's relations with the city of Bologna, in particular with its bishop, Gerard, but also the relations between the imperial power and certain politicalinstitutional realities of the Bolognese territory, such as the presbytery of Santa Maria di Reno and the castle of Monteveglio.

2025, Journal of Oman Studies

This paper presents the results of excavations by the Bat Archaeological Project (BAP) on the Bronze Age domestic remains at the Bat Settlement Slope, Sultanate of Oman. Research, conducted between 2012 and 2014, reveals a long history of occupation that peaks in the Um An Nar period and continues into the Wadi Sûq. While all encountered Bronze Age occupational phases are presented, the primary period of occupation at the site—the Um An Nar—is the subject of descriptive and interpretive focus. Particular attention is given to the development of a typical Um An Nar settlement building type, interpreted as a house. The frequent scarcity of definable stratigraphy on the Settlement Slope is overcome through detailed architectural analysis. Results of this research provide new understanding of the household organization and economic foundations of Bat’s Um An Nar society.

This paper illustrates the methods used to clean and restorate the frescoes in the Catacombs of Saint'Antiochus (Sant'Antioco, Sardinia), greatly damaged. The work was conducted from April to June 2024 and involved only parts of the painted walls. It was carried out in 2 phases, using non-invasive techniques. During the first phase, Biotersus diluted 14% in demineralised water was sprayed on the affected walls. After 10 days, the surfaces appeared to have changed considerably in colours. The second step involved the creation of wings and grouting to consolidate the fragments. The cleaning brought to light some remains of decorations, which can be traced back to the Old (the prophet Jonah) and the New Testament (perhaps Christ-Good Shepherd), and floral patterns. The first aim of this work is to protect the paintings from the natural agents of degradation typical in hypogeal environments: humidity, poor ventilation and natural light, electric lamps. Another factor is visitors attendance. A further goal is to resurface as much of the original decoration as possible, to gain a better knowledge of the only early Christian Catacomb in Sardinia. In conclusion, the work is at the beginning and will still take time to complete, but the first results are very encouraging, even if the conditions of the paintings are very compromised. The project is scheduled to complete the cleaning, proceeding by small areas and applying the same methodology. It is also planned to treat 'sample' areas with the laser technique, now applied in all hypogeal cemeteries.

This article presents the main results of the historical‑archaeological study carried out at the former Fábrica de Cerâmica do Senhor d’Além (V. N. de Gaia), in 2008, as part of the intention to carry out a reconstruction project of the building complex. The work was coordinated by the author,
framed by the company Arqueologia e Património – Ricardo Teixeira e Vítor Fonseca arqueologia Lda and included the carrying out of archaeological surveys, bibliographic and documentary research, the study of architectural archeology, the functional analysis of structures and remains identified, the inventory and study of the collected assets. It was possible to understand that it is a building with a long history: a hermitage in the 16th century, a chapel in the 17th century, a hospice of the Carmelitas Calçados in the 18th century and a ceramics factory between the mid‑19th century and the 20s of the 20th century, when in which a fire put an end to industrial activity. Since then, the building has remained unoccupied and has suffered slow degradation, which, however, has allowed the “conservation” of its main walls and the factory structures, such as the clay purification tanks, the oven and the mills. The study sought to identify the various phases of occupation and transformation of this building, throughout its almost five hundred years of history, as a religious building and as an industrial building and, in addition, to reconstitute the functional organization of the factory, record and interpret the remaining structures and the different remains, such as manufacturing instruments and exemplary pieces of its production, including tiles and utilitarian ceramics for domestic use.

The seacoast towns in “Terra di Bari” are a coherent group of small cities, which, from the 11th to the 13th centuries, were almost comparable in importance and extension. Several cathedrals were built at the point between the sea and the city – a privileged position to be viewed from the sea.
In the cathedrals of Molfetta and Giovinazzo, based on the model of the basilica of St Nicholas in Bari, there is evidence of two apsidal towers, branching off from the continuous wall enclosing the apses, with dual function of bell towers and “lighthouses”. In the first case they were a town landmark, in the second, they indicated the coast's proximity and landing possibility. The paper aims to analyze ecclesiastical architecture and the presence of towers in a broader perspective, not considering only the architecture but also his position in relationship to town and sea. The role of bell towers will be examined in relation to the "Adriatic Lake," with a focus on how these "sea buildings" affected the cost.

The discovery of numerous decorated concrete and mosaic floors in Fréjus in the last few years and the establishment of a protocol for the study of constructed floors in association with the creation of a lithographic collection have enabled a reflection on the supply logics to the building worksites within several habitats in Forum Iulii city to be elaborated. Ces dernières années, Fréjus a connu sur son territoire d'importantes fouilles préventives. Elles ont livré vingt-et-un nouveaux sols bâtis répartis sur neuf sites, dont huit intra muros. Ces découvertes viennent compléter un corpus des sols fréjussiens déjà riche, établi parallèlement par l'équipe menée par Lucien Rivet (Atlas topographique des villes de Gaule méridionale, 2. Fréjus, 2000) et par Henri Lavagne (Recueil général des mosaïques de la Gaule, III. Narbonnaise, 3, 2000). Une mise à jour de ce corpus a été récemment entreprise (Blanc-Bijon 2013 ; Excoffon et al. à paraître).

Aquest esborrany, que hauria de veure la llum aquest juny de 2025, exposa els resultats d'una intervenció realitzada a can Sénia, a la parròquia de Jesús, durant el 2019. Aquest casament apareix a la documentació més antiga (segle XVII) com la "caseta de l'hort" i sota la propietat dels dominics i de la clerecia secular. Així, doncs, l'estudi paramental o d'arqueologia vertical que s'havia de realitzar per la reforma amb motiu de la creació d'un Punt Jove, mostrava un gran potencial a nivell d'aportació de registres arqueològics per època moderna. Però, a més a més de corroborar l'aparació de murs amb clara fàbrica tradicional i maçoneria antiga, el subsol també oferí restes per època antiga i baixmedieval.

This study concerns a «window» of approximately 40 km ², opening on to two different landscapes : the lower Doubs Valley and the Bresse plateau, both very humid zone. The interaction of man with his environment is studied from Antiquity to the Middle Ages by comparing archaeological evidence of human settlements with paleoenvironmental reconstruction of land dynamics. There is dense occupation throughout all periods, which proves the attractiveness of the area. However, local factors, both natural and anthropic, seem to have influenced spatial implantation along the river. Bresse attenante, soit une zone très marquée par l'humidité. Il corrèle les données issues de la prospection archéologique et de la démarche paléo-environnementale pour appréhender, par étapes historiques et sur la longue durée, le rapport de l'homme à son milieu. La zone connaît une occupation du sol très dense dans toutes les périodes, ce qui prouve son rôle attractif. La variable réside dans les choix opérés par le peuplement. Ceux-ci sont dictés moins par la «grande histoire» que par des phénomènes locaux, physiques (évolution de la rivière) et surtout humains.

Durante uma reforma em um sobrado de Ouro Preto/MG,
foram descobertas dezenas de gravuras em um painel de argamassa,
localizado no antigo porão do imóvel. Reflexões que visaram mapear
as possíveis gerações de ocupantes do sobrado entre os séculos XVIII
e XIX foram apresentadas como hipóteses preliminares da minha
pesquisa de doutorado em Klink (2023, 2024). O presente recorte
temático foca na exposição de metodologias adaptadas e técnicas desenvolvidas para um estudo de estratigrafia murária, considerando
as particularidades desses grafismos históricos, que aparecem como
baixos-relevos (incisos) e grafites (desenhados). O objetivo é
detectar e realçar detalhes antes invisíveis a olho nu, devido à baixa
luminosidade e variação da exposição à luz no subsolo. Essas
abordagens não invasivas e de baixo custo foram empregadas devido
à praticidade e ao seu potencial no processo de preservação da frágil
camada do reboco que ainda cobre parte dos alicerces em pedras da casa. Assim, buscou-se produzir epigrafias que possibilitem associar
algumas das figurações parietais antropomorfas, fitomorfas, abstratas
e zoomorfas à autoria de diferentes sujeitos que, de forma voluntária
ou compulsória, podem ter demarcado um espaço doméstico recluso,
escuro e úmido à sua maneira, e participado de outras dinâmicas
coloniais regionais e/ou transoceânicas.

This article traces the history of the repression of palm wine and alcohol (sodabi) in Dahomey, now Benin, with varying degrees of intensity, from the nineteenth-century kingdom of Abomey to postcolonial Dahomey. In parallel with the repression, this article also looks at the history of palm alcohol production. Dahomeans learned to distil wine from French peasants during the First World War, and were driven into sodabi production by French economic policies during the Great Depression. Using court sources, this article describes the social organisation, gender division, and economic rationale of sodabi production, as well as the occasions on which it was drunk. Ultimately, it argues that the repression of sodabi made it more difficult for peasants to improve their living conditions.

Aufgrund des Neubaus des Hauses Kaiser Josef Platz 37 (Gst.-Nr. 788) wurden, wegen der Lage des Grundstücks im Gebiet des ehemaligen Stadtkerns des römischen Municipiums Ovilava, archäologische Maßnahmen erforderlich. Die Nutzung des Grundstücks kann grob in fünf Phasen unterteilt werden: Neuzeit, Mittelalter, Spätantike/Frühmittelalter, römerzeitliche Phase II und römerzeitliche Phase I. Unter den neuzeitlichen und mittelalterlichen Strukturen lagen die Mauern, Böden und Hypokausten eines römischen domus mit zwei Bauphasen.

2025, DIÁLOGOS EN TORNO A LA ARQUITECTURA Y AL ARTE VALENCIANO Séptima Edición

Arquitectura, arqueología, historia, bienes muebles y otros oficios.
Este es un curso destinado a interesados en el conocimiento, el disfrute y la
gestión del Patrimonio Cultural. Inicialmente nació con la intención de cubrir
un espacio vacío al que la docencia universitaria, los cursos de especialistas, o
los ciclos de conferencias solo acogen de forma parcial o fragmentaria; el
conocimiento directo, la reflexión, el análisis y el debate del hecho artístico en el
mismo lugar en el que este se produce.
Es comprensible que las artes visuales, muchas veces descontextualizadas y de
reducida dimensión pueden apreciarse en el aula o en la sala de exposiciones.
Esto no es posible en ningún caso con la arquitectura. Los actuales medios que
proporcionan las técnicas audiovisuales acercan, pero no permiten, el pleno
disfrute del espacio, de la dimensión y de las proporciones de la arquitectura.
La visita guiada por los máximos especialistas, los encargados del
mantenimiento y/o la restauración del monumento, así como del debate en el
lugar, proporcionan un conocimiento y unos elementos de juicio sin parangón.
Las intervenciones realizadas en los últimos años sobre todo tipo de obras
patrimoniales han contribuido a multiplicar y estrechar la colaboración entre
profesionales de muy diversos oficios: arquitectos, arquitectos técnicos,
arqueólogos, restauradores, historiadores, químicos, ingenieros especialistas en
levantamientos con escáner láser 3D o en detección con electromagnetismo de
estructuras ocultas, etc. Sin olvidar, por supuesto, a los cada vez más escasos
representantes de los valiosos oficios tradicionales de la construcción: canteros,
albañiles, estucadores, carpinteros y herreros, entre otros.
Sin duda, el trabajo en equipo ha sido puesto a prueba en cada una de ellas y,
en bastantes ocasiones, la tarea más delicada y decisiva no solo recayó sobre el
director de la obra. Si consideramos que lo único importante es la salvaguarda
del bien patrimonial, vemos que nadie nos ha preparado adecuadamente para
estas tareas, ni en el plano técnico ni en el metodológico. Se echa de menos un
mayor conocimiento científico e interdisciplinar y, en particular, un reciclaje
permanente basado en el intercambio de experiencias entre los especialistas de
los diversos campos de estudio. Además, los actuales protocolos tampoco
evitan las tensiones entre los agentes implicados.
La jornada que este año incorporamos, y que se desarrolla en la sede de la
Academia, sobre temas vistos anteriormente o que lo serán en los días
siguientes, ofrece un espacio de debate y dará visibilidad a estos problemas
mostrando, además, las diferentes estrategias seguidas para abordarlos.

Questo studio analizza il fenomeno della postmortem fetal extrusion nel contesto archeologico, un evento che si verifica quando, dopo la morte materna, il feto viene espulso dal corpo a causa dell'accumulo di gas postmortem. L'obiettivo principale è indagare la possibilità di identificare questo fenomeno nei contesti archeologici, distinguendolo da altri eventi biologici come la distocia, e valutare le implicazioni tafonomiche e biologiche associate a morti di individui adulti e subadulti. Il lavoro si basa sull'analisi di tre casi di studio: San Genesio, Italia (secoli VI-XIII), Vihti, Finlandia (secolo XIX) e Forlì, Italia (secoli XVII-XVIII).

This paper presents an approach to the development of a tool for the restoration of the Roman imperial baths. This tool is obtained from an architecturological analysis of the Roman imperial baths of North Africa. We propose that it allows generating analog models considered as hypothesis for the restoration of Roman imperial baths from their remains. These can be refined and supplemented by specialists in the field of archeology. Keyword: Tool for restitution, Roman Imperial Baths, Architectural analysis, Analog model.

This paper reports on the three seasons of excavations conducted at Eynan (Ain Mallaha) from 2003 to 2005. It is also aimed at recording the laboratory work that took place since the last report published (Valla et al. 2004). Following the presentation of new '4C dates, the paper describes Early Natufian burials (Locus 239), one of which includes two decorated skeletons in a plastered grave. The next sections are devoted to analyses of Final Natufian findings. Because most of the sequence inside each excavated structure is now known, special interest is devoted to the succession of the phases in their occupation. This results in a dynamic vision, which suggests that some buildings (possibly houses) were used intermittently, whereas others may have been occupied on a more continuous basis. Among new features uncovered during those last seasons, a fire pit in structure 228 and a structure that includes a deep mortar in working position are worth mentioning. New graves are describe...

The Architectural-archaeological Expedition of St. Petersburg State University completed in 2021 the project of studying of several medieval buildings in the Novgorod Archbishop’s Courtyard. The parts of the northern and southern walls of the civil building of the late 12th - early 13th centuries, its northwestern and southwestern corners were found. It is possible to establish that this structure was rectangular in plan, close to a square. In its northern part, an intermediate wall was discovered, located along the west-east axis, probably this is the wall of the vestibule of the building. On the remains of the walls of a civil building, the Church of the Nativity of Christ was erected in 1362; its western part was also studied in 2021. Since, obviously, the church had a system of vaults, its walls received a significantly greater thickness (about 135 cm), as well as pilasters. The northwestern and southwestern corners of the building with the corner pilasters were discovered, and the western wall was traced in several places. Traces of the original portal were found in the center of the western wall. As a result of research in 2021, it became possible to create a graphic reconstruction of the plans of civil building from the late 12th – early 13th centuries and the Church of the Nativity (1362). In addition, the masonry of a number of buildings of the 16th–17th centuries located on this territory was studied. During excavations in the interior of the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul on Silnishche (1185–1192) a foundation strip between the interapse wall and the northeastern pillar was recorded. So it was proven that strip foundations existed between the eastern pillars and the interapse walls.

La arquitectura doméstica ha sido uno de los principales registros arqueológicos que han fundamentado un análisis detallado de las sociedades campesinas altomedievales en el centro y norte peninsular en las últimas décadas. Sin embargo, la falta de una masa empírica de calidad y las carencias metodológicas y teóricas en el abordaje de las unidades domésticas en tanto sujetos de estudio coherentes han lastrado la capacidad de este registro de tratar cuestiones como las diferencias regionales o el papel activo de la arquitectura doméstica en la conformación de las comunidades campesinas del período. Con todo, en las últimas décadas, y gracias al desarrollo de la arqueología comercial y de diversos proyectos de investigación en torno a la arqueología del campesinado altomedieval en el centro y norte peninsular, se han podido excavar decenas de contextos que están permitiendo reelaborar los discursos sobre este sujeto histórico a través de sus formas constructivas y la organización del espacio habitado, tradicionalmente visto desde el punto de vista de la simplicidad y de la pasividad. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis detallado de las arquitecturas y unidades domésticas de cinco yacimientos altomedievales de dos regiones del centro peninsular con el objetivo de abordar la construcción de las comunidades campesinas altomedievales en tanto que comunidades políticas. De esta manera, se pretende contrarrestar la falsa idea de la simplicidad de estas comunidades, así como reivindicar el análisis de la arquitectura doméstica como un registro material con amplias posibilidades de ser explorado con detalle en el futuro.

Nel 2021 è uscito un saggio del Prof. Gian Luca Malatrasi1 dal titolo Pietre Matildiche. Monaci e scultori medievali delle terre di Canossa2 nel quale si analizzano dal punto di vista stilistico alcuni esempi di Romanico Matildico/Appenninico e si rende nota la scoperta di frammenti provenienti dal Ciclo dei Mesi della Pieve di Quattro Castella (Fig. 1). Tra le domande che si pone il professore vi è quella di chi abbia realizzato le opere analizzate, collocate in un lasso di tempo che va dal 1080 circa al 1112. È indiscutibile che non si possano avere informazioni precise sugli architetti, sugli scalpellini e su coloro che parteciparono alla costruzione delle Pievi matildiche, sebbene Malatrasi riconosca una forte influenza del cantiere di Canossa sui territori della Val d'Enza, in particolare Vetto, Traversetolo, Quattro Castella e San Polo, ossia quelli da lui presi in analisi. Proprio da questa ombra presente sulla risposta alla domanda chi? nasce la mia ricerca, molto particolare, di provare a fare luce almeno sulla possibilità di una presenza femminile nei cantieri romanici dell'Appennino Reggiano. Partendo da studi specifici inerenti al lavoro femminile nel Tardo Medioevo si tenterà di ricostruire la possibile realtà occupazionale tra XI e XII secolo.

The Rogljevo Summer School of Architecture is a specific type of education in the field of protection of rural architecture. The summer school gathered architecture students, art professionals and other enthusiasts with a desire to popularize the revitalization of traditional wine cellars in Eastern Serbia. The complex of these wine cellars is placed on the UNESCO tentative list, and listed in the central register of cultural goods of the Republic of Serbia as a property of exceptional importance. Practical works were performed in Rogljevo wine cellars, that were made of wood and stone during the nineteenth century, in which wines were produced.
Through alternating lectures and practical work in the field, participants of the summer school were given the opportunity to get acquainted with traditional and modern construction techniques, restoration techniques of vernacular architecture, principles of presentation and management of plans for the preservation of cultural property. During the seven-day summer school, participants listened to lectures of experts in the field of architecture and archeology, getting acquainted with the method of preparation of work and materials in the field, recording architectural objects, documenting architectural heritage and the principle of cultural heritage restoration. The summer school is thematically divided into three modules: earth architecture, lime mortar and roof covering. The participants of the school renovated the wooden and stone walls of these buildings, using mud and lime mortars. They also had the opportunity to cover the roof with tiles, which they had previously cleaned.
The Rogljevo Summer School of Architecture is a continuation of the workshops of the Restoration Camps in Rogljevo, held from 2014 to 2019. Its main objective is to be a form of non-formal education for students of architecture and related disciplines, as well as for all those interested in the protection and revitalization of heritage.

Göbekli Tepe is one of the most important archaeological discoveries of modern times, pushing back the origins of monumentality beyond the emergence of agriculture. We are pleased to present a summary of work in progress by the excavators of this remarkable site and their latest thoughts about its role and meaning. At the dawn of the Neolithic, hunter-gatherers congregating at Göbekli Tepe created social and ideological cohesion through the carving of decorated pillars, dancing, feasting—and, almost certainly, the drinking of beer made from fermented wild crops.

Este trabalho teve como objectivo geral contribuir para o conhecimento da evolução urbana da cidade de Braga através da análise dum dos seus componentes urbanos, designadamente dum quarteirão situado "extramuros", conhecido como quarteirão dos Biscainhos. Em particular, a nossa análise centrou-se no estudo da evolução morfológica do referido quarteirão, desde a sua génese até à actualidade, atendendo à sua relação com outros elementos do urbanismo da cidade, designadamente, à muralha medieval e as suas portas. Pretendeu-se, igualmente, analisar a influência do Palácio dos Biscainhos na configuração do espaço urbano em que o mesmo se insere mas, também, no urbanismo da cidade, em geral. A concretização dos nossos objectivos foi realizada através da utilização de uma abordagem multidisciplinar, que procurou valorizar os conhecimentos e metodologias utilizadas por outras áreas do conhecimento, onde se incluem a geografia e arquitectura e o urbanismo. O estudo da evolução urbana do Quarteirão dos Biscainhos cruzou diferentes fontes de informação, nas quais se incluem as materiais, as iconográficas e cartográficas, as históricodocumentais, mas, também, as marcas fossilizadas na paisagem urbana e o edificado actual. Os resultados alcançados permitiram elaborar plantas interpretativas para as grandes fases históricas de ocupação do quarteirão (medieval, moderna, contemporânea), e analisar a transformação de aspectos concretos da morfologia urbana do Quarteirão dos Biscainhos, designadamente, o sistema viário que o conforma, o parcelamento e algum do seu edificado, com particular destaque para o Palácio dos Biscainhos e para as construções na Rua da Boavista (Cónega).

Meanwhile, iconographical analysis is done as further step to find secondary meaning and iconological interpretation is to find intrinsic meaning....
