From 1644 up to 1787, Zasa Manor belonged to the Von Sass family, after which it had a series of owners. From 1865 up to 1924, the manor belonged to the Von Greigh family. Archaeological excavation of the manor site is particularly important, because, in the absence of rich written historical and cartographic sources, it could, in the long term, provide an insight into the processes of development of the buildings and habitation starting from the very beginnings of the manor.
An excavation area was laid out at one corner of the Zasa manor-house, the location of which could be clearly identified in the relief. The excavation area measured 5 x 5 m, identifying the SW corner of the manor-house and establishing the context of the building history of this structure. Prior to construction of Zasa manor-house, the area was used as farmland, as indicated by the presence of a rich, dark grey layer characteristic of a manured field. Before the manor-house was built, the surface of the field was levelled, adding a layer of red loam, which simultaneously served as insulation against damp. The history of the building can be determined from the stratigraphy of the inside of the manor-house (Fig. 1). The building was erected in the 17th century on a shallow foundation. Outside the building, to the S, in the direction of the slope of the bank of the River Zasa, was the backyard. Here, various kinds of everyday rubbish had been deposited: sherds of porcelain, faience, glass, stoneware and earthenware vessels, along with faunal remains. The manor-house was burned down during the Revolution of 1905. Soon afterwards, the rubble was cleared, the foundations repaired and construction of a new brick structure began.
Most of the artefacts (Fig. 2) were found outside the building, in the uppermost layer. These finds consisted mainly of architectural metalwork and ceramics, which had been buried at the time when stoves were rebuilt, when the manor-house was repaired and as a result of the fire in 1905. Five of the 37 artefacts were found inside the building, in the deeper layers. Particularly important among these are two sherds from a 17th century white clay jug. The exterior of the jug was decorated with a relief figure of
a woman and geometric designs.

At the end of the fifteenth century, there was a shift from a defensive tower house residential model to a type of palatial-style residential model. The Loyola Tower Palace, located in the Basque Country, Spain, is an example of this evolution. This paper aims to analyze the architectural elements and construction system of a prerenaissance manor house. The work was divided into three sections: fieldwork, documentary research and the historical-constructive analysis. Six periods were detected: the remains of the original fortified house, the tower palace, the mid-sixteenth century reform, the works undertaken by Jesuits, the interventions of the nineteenth century, and the more recent refurbishment. Finally, the building was also compared with other Basque manor houses.

Manor Houses were the homes and centres of operation of Basque noble families during the Late Medieval Period. From early defensive Tower Houses to the Palaces of the early 16th century, Manor Houses evolved during the Late Middle Ages, adapting to different historical periods. Despite their heritage value, these buildings are in danger of being lost. Investigations of past centuries encouraged the emergence of false beliefs around Manor Houses -excessively old constructive periods, assignment of defensive origins to most buildings, etc.-. This has resulted in serious errors in heritage catalogues and, subsequently, a high number of unfortunate architectural interventions. This paper aims to analyse and characterize the typological evolution of Basque Manor Houses, in order that the results be used as guideline for future protection strategies. The work was divided into three sections: field work, documentary research and historical-constructive analysis. Collected data was uploaded into QGIS software, which was then used to carry out a comparative analysis. An inventory of 2050 Manor Houses has been developed, which includes a "Red List" of 472 buildings in danger of being lost. Five typologies of Manor Houses have been identified: one with a defensive function -the Tower House-and four types of nondefensive constructions -Tower Palace, Rural Palatial House, Large Palace and Village Manor House-. Most of the existent Basque Manor Houses were built after the mid-15th century and were non-defensive from their original construction.

The Late Medieval Seigniorial Residence is one of the most relevant elements of the built heritage of the Basque Country (Spain). The architectural form of these buildings evolved from the defensive Tower Houses of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries to the early Renaissance Palaces of the sixteenth century, due to the decrease of the intensity of medieval conflicts. Analysis carried out in a previous project, which has generated an inventory of Late Medieval Seigniorial Residences in the Basque Country, has identified four main evolutionary phases: single Tower Houses, Tower Houses transformed into Palaces, Tower Houses with annexed Palaces and Pre-Renaissance Palaces. This paper aims to analyze the last evolution phase of this building-typology, by the study of a singular case: the Guevara Palace in Segura (Gipuzkoa, Spain). The building has been investigated from different perspectives through historical documentary analysis, historical constructive analysis and structural pathologies analysis. The research has identified six different building periods in the Guevara Palace. Although the building suffered main transformations throughout the nineteenth century, it has kept many of its original architectural features, such as the main façade sandstone masonry walls, a major part of the timber structure or Catholic Kings Style ornamentation details; a wide range of architectural elements that show the characteristic features of Pre-Renaissance Palaces. This paper is part of a broader research project which aims to develop a cataloguing model for Late Medieval Seigniorial Residences of the Basque Country.

Geographic names are evidence of changes in the landscape. Some examples of places that have disappeared or been altered: vanished villages in the borderlands, flooded villages in reservoirs. The disappearance of settlements and names has also been caused by military training grounds, solar power stations, opencast mines and the reclamation of sites after the disappearance of industry.

This study focuses on the development of a nobility residence which was part of the town of Vysoké Veselí. The residence was located east of the square on an elevated site. Excavations that intersected a major part of the original manor area yielded new findings. In the Middle Ages the manor underwent several development phases. It is certain that two phases of a fortification were built there in succession. A residence surrounded by a moat and a rampart existed on the site from the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Around the middle of the 14th century, the manor was rebuilt and replaced with a masonry palace structure. The construction of an outer fortification consisting of a moat with a masonry inner wall extending into a fortification took place in this phase. The medieval building phases disappeared during a radical reconstruction in the 1580s.

The article summarizes the evaluation of the economic background of the vanished medieval villages, mainly in western Bohemia, where the field systems was documented on the basis of detailed airborne laser scanning data. In the first part, it briefly discusses the context of the survey in regards to the research development and with a justification of why it is still a methodologically minimally fixed issue, with different possible focuses and roles in archaeological conservation in forest environments. Furthermore, the status of their registration in the State Archaeological List and protection as cultural heritage is discussed on the example of about sixty sites, which is related to the presence or absence of significant objects - fortresses. These, like the buildings of today's freestanding churches, tend to concentrate not only protection but also area records purely on themselves. In a broader context, it is subsequently shown that the location, and thus the settlement role of fortresses in relation to the urban area of the villages, used to be very different, and the significance of individual sites is often only revealed by a larger comparative survey. It is only in a broader documentary and analytical context that it is then possible to correctly attribute the surviving parts of their non-urban areas to some sites and to better assess their settlement-historical as well as heritage significance.

The text is devoted to the evaluation of a find of a seal matrix made at Mokřice Castle near the town of Jičín. In the matrix’s seal field, there is a barrel-shaped shield bearing the head of a rooster turned heraldically to the right. Due to considerable corrosion, only two words, separated by a five-pointed star, namely elzka and z (i.e. Elise of), are clearly legible of the linguistically Czech legend (text) on the seal, engraved in Gothic minuscule. However, despite all efforts and comparisons with available sphragistic and heraldic sources, it has not been possible to identify a specific noble lady. The barrelshaped shield in combination with the Gothic minuscule of the legend, its wording in the Czech language and the thick lines that frame it date the seal to approximately the third quarter of the 14th to the first half of the 15th centuries, which roughly corresponds with the period of the castle’s existence. The overall treatment of the matrix’s seal surface also matches this date.

The results of intensive excavations across a rare medieval Priory Church where the remains of a reliquary, were discovered within a lead container
buried into the latest floor layer of this part of the Church. Within the lead container were the remains of c. 20% of a human skeleton with no pelvis or skull meaning determination of sex impossible, but all bones were considered to be from the same individual. Two bones inside the reliquary were radiocarbon dated producing a date range of 1163-1277AD. It is considered that these are the 500 year old lost remains of the relics of St Edburg which were hidden during the dissolution of the monastery.

The first part of the article touches on the important personality of Lumír Jisl, his great contributions to the post war restoration of Silesian archaeology and opinions on its new role. Above all, his numerous articles in the Journal of the Silesian Museum (ČSZM) are evidence of his unceasing diligence in the restoration of the museum's archaeological site destroyed by the war, and their concept as well as specific focus point to the final goal -to grasp the Czech part of the upper Odra River Catchment (of Czech Silesia), from the archaeology perspective, as a unified area ("Silesia") with uniformly organized research. The first practical step towards this, and together with the recapitulation input, should be a synthesis of the prehistory of this (Silesian) area. The second part of the article attempts to describe the nature and role of contributions with a predominantly archaeological topic, published in the ČSZM since its foundation in 1951. On this basis, the magazine's existence up to now is to be evaluated and the authors' opinion on the direction its strategy should take in the future is to be specified. A list of relevant papers is attached.

La tour-porte du château de Marmande (Vienne) a bénéficié de deux opérations d'archéologie du bâti diligentées par le Service régional d'archéologie en 2021 et 2022. Elles portaient respectivement sur la partie sommitale et l'élévation méridionale de l'ancien accès au site.
Grâce aux observations et découvertes permises par la réalisation de sondages associée à la pose d'échafaudage, il a été possible de restituer le couronnement originel de la tour-porte des années 1166-1170d, ainsi que les différentes transformations effectuées au fil des siècles : de la construction d'une guette associée à l'aménagement de hourds jusqu'à la suppression des dispositifs sommitaux au moment de la construction d'une structure accolée, doublant la surface de la tour-porte désormais couverte d'une couverture à quatre pentes. En parallèle, l'observation de la face sud a permis de révéler un système de latrines à conduit biais mais également d'établir une première chronologie des modifications avec le logis sud, jouxtant la tour-porte.

The study is devoted to an assemblage of earthenware vessels which was found in the fortiﬁed manor house of Semonice near Jaroměř in 1896. The main part of the assemblage is a collection of metal objects, which has already received sufficient and continuous attention in professional studies. In this paper, ceramic ﬁnds are described with regard to their technological aspects and compared with other absolutely and relatively dated ﬁnds from the surrounding region. The pottery assemblage consists of a total of six pieces. The homogeneity of the pottery assemblage is proven by a number of identical characteristics. These include the ceramic clay from which the vessels were made. Oxidation ﬁring is another thing they have in common. The Semonice vessels still bear traces of earlier hillfortperiod development. For example, the making of vessels from coils of clay and the subsequent reﬁning on a slow-rotating potter's wheel. In ﬁve cases, there is also a potter's mark. A specimen of a miniature vessel proves that pottery was also produced on a fast-rotating potter's wheel. The decoration also contains elements which appeared in earlier periods. Chronologically close pottery ﬁnds from the early 14 th century are known from Černožice and Chvalkovice. They were also accompanied by coins of King Wenceslas II. Another pot which is approxi-mately dated by coins, comes from Tomkova Street in Hradec Králové – it was deposited after 1346. The above-mentioned vessels from Semonice and other sites attest to the survival of manufacturing (turning, potter's marks) and decorative elements (incised helix, cuts) as late as the beginning and during the 14 th century. When we take into consideration relatively dated assemblages from northeastern Bohemia, the Semonice ﬁnds can be best compared with the horizontal stratigraphy consisting of layers documented in the historic core of Hradec Králové. Especially pottery found in the 1 st and 2 nd horizons seem to be morphologically close to the Semonice ﬁnds, which correspond to the late 13 th and the early 14 th century. Analogous ﬁnds to the absolutely dated vessels from Černožice, Chvalkovice and Tomkova Street in Hradec Králové can also be found in these layers.

his study is devoted to the discovery of a former manor that used to stand in the floodplain of the Radostovský stream in the immediate southern vicinity of the centre of present-day Radostov, near Hradec Králové. The fortification was located on the basis of identified terrain relics and remote sensing. Surface collections, metal-detector and geophysical surveys were carried out over several years. Based on the finds, the period of the settlement's operation is sought between the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries and the end of the 15th century. Magnetometric measurements revealed that the manor had been built in two formally almost identical phases, with the younger phase positioned just slightly to the west of the older phase and the two plans partially overlapped. Within the younger phase, structures of the internal buildings were identified, as well as the perimeter fortification of the core of the manor and the course of the moat and rampart. In both phases, the manor was an upper-class residence founded in the floodplain of a stream, formed by a central elevated hill surrounded by a ditch and a rampart. This type of fortified noble seat is common in the western part of the Hradec Králové region.

Nechanice is an extremely interesting settlement complex from the viewpoint of settlement development which, in the High Middle Ages, consisted of a small town with a church, an aristocratic residence and other surrounding settlement units. It is documented in written sources as early as the first half of the 13th century and according to archaeological findings, some settlement activity can be traced back to the second half of the 13th century. However, the recorded traces of buildings do not respect today’s layout of the town with its trapezoidal town square. In 2020, a feature dating from the turn of the 14th century was investigated in the square’s northern part. It was probably the basement of a residential or farm building. The composition of the recovered finds suggests non-agrarian use. It might have been a part of a possible earlier aristocratic residence situated near the church. Its demise may be related to the foundation of the town or to the establishment of a new aristocratic residence, which was built on the opposite bank of the Bystřice River and whose origins can be traced back to the early 14th century, judging from archaeological finds.

This report outlines the results of an evaluation of land north and east of Moatfield Farm, Willitoft Road,
Spaldington, East Riding Of Yorkshire. The site is situated within a known heritage asset:
• Humber HER Number: 2898, A Medieval Moat Type A2 (f) Seignorial Moated Site, one of whose arms is
almost totally destroyed.
The evaluation determined the location and width of the buried remains of the eastern arm of the moat
ditch. Ground levelling layers sealed the moat's dried organic fill. The ditch was first observed 0.75m
below ground level and further investigated to 1.13m below ground level. At this depth, the ditch yielded
modern artefactual data; this was anticipated due to the ditch being represented as open on the 1953 OS
Mapof Spaldington. The ditch has a width of approximately 8.00m, similar to that of the remaining
northern arm.
To conclude, the site appears to have undergone ground levelling, which has likely occurred periodically
over the moated site's history. Within the trench's parameters, there was no evidence of an internal
building platform or other evidence to indicate the moated site's original function. Residual or sealed
artefact data from the medieval period was not present. Earlier deposits and environmental data are
probably contained within the moat but at depths greater than 1.13m below ground level.

This paper provides an overview of the distribution of the manors that extended over the area of present-day Croatian Baranya in the Late Middle Ages, more precisely in the late 14th century and the mid- and late 15th century. The spatial distribution of larger settlements and their belonging to certain manors is depicted, some of them being the Podolje manor (Hungarian: Bodolyai uradalom), Valpovo manor, lands of the Herceg Sečujski family (Herceg of Szekcső), Čemin manor (Hungarian: Cseményi
uradalom), Bilje/Bellye manor, Branjin Vrh manor (Hungarian: Baranyavári uradalom), as well as others. This paper provides basic accessible data on the families who owned the manors, or on changes of ownership relations within the analysed period, as well as the reconstruction of the approximate territorial extent of certain manors in the territory of Baranya in 1382, 1439 and 1498.

Based primarily on unpublished sources, this paper reconstructs the settlements associated with the Erdut manor and their tenants in the late 15th century. The introductory part is followed by a review of the sources used and the scholarly literature related to the topic. The central section of the paper begins with an overview of the medieval history of the Erdut estate, including its associated settlements, and the changes brought by the Ottoman conquests. Utilizing the census of 1480 in correlation with other medieval and early modern sources, as well as secondary literature, the author analyses the geographical location of the settlements and classifies the oeconyms. The discussion on the estate’s populace is based on the part of the census that records the number of tenants in each settlement, followed by a study on anthroponyms and an analysis of male personal names in the source. Finally, the paper provides a critical review of the research results.

The site consists of two fields immediately north of Membury Court, an historic farm complex situated one and a half kilometres northwest of the hamlet of Membury in East Devon. The site occupies a southwest-facing slope overlooking the valley of the River Yarty between 80m and 125m AOD. The fields are believed to contain the traces of a Roman villa, 'excavated' in 1914 by a local vicar. Surface-finds of tegulae and scored flue tiles (Fox 1949) made in the smaller of the two fields nearest to Membury Court provide supporting evidence. A gradiometer survey undertaken in July 2010 (Smart 2010) indicated a sub-rectangular enclosure surrounded by at least three rectilinear enclosures, and within which were a number of probable robbed wall footings, supporting the previous suggestions. Three evaluation trenches excavated in 2011 (Smart and Pearce 2011) confirmed the character of the ditches associated with the rectilinear and sub-rectangular enclosures, and indicated a date for these within the Roman period. The robbed wall footings were also confirmed, and in situ plastered walls revealed, indicating the presence of a well-appointed Roman building. A resistivity survey refined the plan of this structure, but also revealed other features, including ditches. An unnatural, broad rectilinear area of high resistance was the focus of the evaluation in 2013. It was conceived that this anomaly may indicate the presence of the site of another building. The fields in which the site lay are both used for grazing and cropped for hay. Geology and soils: The site is located upon Triassic mudstone of the Branscombe Mudstone Formation overlain by deposits of Quaternary Head (Undifferentiated), consisting of clay, silt, sand and gravel (British Geological Survey 2010) Investigation type: Trench evaluation Number of trenches: 1 (Trench 4 = 45 m long, 1.4 m wide) Area evaluated: 63 m 2 The evaluation was done in accordance with an existing Devon County Council 'Brief for Archaeological Evaluation' (DCC reference ARCH/AE/ED 17777), as well as English Heritage and Institute for Archaeologists guidelines. Results: A 45 m-long trench was positioned to investigate a substantial rectilinear anomaly identified during the resistivity survey conducted in 2011 (Smart and Pearce 2011). Excavation revealed a broad compacted deposit of clay and chert. This material was devoid of finds and appeared to represent a single episode of deposition. The material sealed a number of ditches and these related to enclosures identified by magnetic and resistivity survey, and previously evaluated in 2011. The scant pottery recovered from these ditches suggests that they were infilled during the Roman period. The purpose of the extensive deposit was not identified during this evaluation but, given its shape and extent, it could be proposed that the hill slope was levelled to receive a building or be used as a yard, and there is no evidence to refute the suggestion that it relates to occupation of the site during the Roman period. It is possible that the material filled a shallow terrace dug into the hillside, but no clear cut was observed in the confines of the trench. The site appears to be that of a rural farmstead which has progressively expanded to include a rectilinear enclosure system and has adopted the trappings of Roman Britain. The earliest confirmed feature, which was sealed by Roman building debris, was a pit or ditch containing unabraded flint flakes of Late Bronze Age or Early Neolithic date.

Jacques SOLIER, notaire royal de Saint-Félix entre 1634 et 1679, richement pourvu en biens fonciers (voir le compoix, page suivante), occupe un rôle prépondérant dans la vie municipale, il est aussi greffier et rédige notamment les actes des assemblées consulaires puis devient lui-même consul en 1686. Dans le contexte des guerres de religion, il est contraint d'abandonner sa charge notariale car il est protestant, il choisit alors de s'orienter vers des activités commerciales que poursuivra son fils. Par la suite, il se retirera à la métairie de La Margue, qui deviendra peu à peu un lieu de rencontre discret pour les protestants. Même si l'édifice qui nous préoccupe aujourd'hui existait auparavant, il est fort probable que Jacques Solier fut à l'origine des modifications majeures apportées à celui-ci et qui ont perduré jusqu'à nos jours. D'une part, car les principaux caractères architecturaux de cet immeuble datent du 17ème siècle, mais aussi par rapport à la fonction de Jacques Solier, qui fit le choix d'afficher son rang social au travers de la façade de son habitat.

The evolution of the quality of an artificial material in subsequent periods should not present setbacks. Technological development and monitoring the execution should ensure a favourable outcome in quality. However, socioeconomic and political forces can distort the course of this evolution, making it impossible for a linear reading; serving as an example of this is the history of reinforced concrete in Spain. The material was introduced to Spain about 120 years ago from European patents. After the war, and after several glorious decades, came the decline of these patents with the consequent liberalization of the technology and the publication in 1939 of Instruction for Concrete. This liberalization came into effect in a context of scarcity and high cost of construction materials, so that the concrete used in the reconstruction of the cities turned out to be a very poor material. Various decrees and orders published at this time established a number of limitations in the use of iron and cement, both depleting the quality of the material used, and as a result, developing a black market, further adding to the decline in quality. Later in the 60s, overcoming these constraints, the quality of materials began to improve. In 1973, a new regulation on the use of concrete introduced a section on quality control. Thereafter, the increasing control ensured the proven quality of the material and its continuous improvement to the present day. A series of tests conducted in buildings made of reinforced concrete in the Basque Country during the twentieth century, shows that the strength and quality of concrete from 100 years ago can be much better than of concrete from 60 years ago, attesting to the inability to perform a linear reading of its evolution.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATION OF FORTIFIED MANOR IN MARKUŠOVCE.
Markušovce (district Spišská Nová Ves), NCM Markušovce castle (CLM no. 670/1-15), fortified manor, rescue excavation, High Medieval Ages, Late Medieval Ages, Early Modern period. Finds deposited at: East Slovakia Museum in Košice. The excavation took place as a part of the reconstruction works of the fortified manor, namely projected building of sewerage. Excavation was carried out in the form of trenching that ran across the manor in the E-W direction. Trench 1/2019 was realized in the western forecourt of the lower gate of the manor, trench II/2019 in the lower courtyard and trench III/2019 in the upper courtyard. In the trenches 1/2019 and II/2019 remnants of hitherto unknown architecture were excavated. In the trench III/2019 several layers and settlement features were identified dating between the end of the 13th/the beginning of the 14th century and the end of the 18th century. Ditch and counter- scarp (Fig. 55: 4) were identified in the forecourt of the lower gate. Together with the pit of drawbridge (Fig. 55: 2, 3) they constitute late 16th century improvements of manor's defences. Remnants of building with circular ground plan and entrance from the East were identified on the lower court (Fig. 54: 4; 55: 5). Foundations of this building damaged layers dated based on the finds of the pottery (Fig. 56: 1-3) sometime to the second half of the 13th century. This circular building strongly resembles similar for- tress built by Ján Jiskra in the forefield of Spiš castle. Other excavated structures on the lower courtyard (Fig. 54: 5) attest to the building activities during the Early Modern period. There were no architec- tonical structures identified within the trench on the upper courtyard. Of all identified archaeological features (Fig. 54: 1) find assembly of the feature No. 3 (Fig. 54: 2) was the most interesting as it included pot-shaped non-glazed stoves, fragments of the High (Fig. 56: 5) and Late Medieval (Fig. 56: 6, 8) pottery, bronze ear scoop (Fig. 56: 10) and three forfeit quarter-denarii (quartings) of Sigismund of Luxembourg (Fig. 56: 4) among other finds.

Visual documentation has been accepted as an important phase of archtectural heritage conservation. Visualisation of structural characteristics and their problems, however, has gained importance in the last decade. In this study, structural characteristics are used to comprehend the characteristics of construction techniques and materials of building components. Structural failures such as loss of a structural element and cracks, and material deterioration such as loss of material and deposit are the main problems observed. Visualisation of structural characteristics and their related problems has been the basis of the methodology in this study. It is also considered important to underline the necessity of the design of a special visualisation technique peculiar to the characteristics of the monument under study.

2024, Trzy dekady badań historii Nowego Miasta nad Wartą: nowe odkrycia – nowe perspektywy badawcze

Nowe Miasto nad Wartą, położone w południowej Wielkopolsce, już w okresie późnego średniowiecza charakteryzowało się specyficzną sytuacją własnościową, tj. podziałem klucza dóbr na dwie części, skutkującą powstaniem w mieście dwu siedzib rycerskich. Starsza, położona na tzw. "Kopcu", znajdowała się nieco na uboczu, na sztucznie usypanym wzniesieniu, na terenach zalewowych Warty. Młodsza powstała nieopodal kościoła parafialnego, po zachodniej stronie cieku wodnego zwanego Jordanem, który stał się z czasem trwałą granicą dwóch części dóbr. Rezydencja na "Kopcu" została rozpoznana i gruntownie przebadana w latach 90. XX wieku, a wyniki prowadzonych przy niej prac archeologicznych opublikowano w formie monografii. W tymże opracowaniu zostały zawarte także informacje źródłowe odnoszące się do "nowego dworu". Niestety, nie wykorzystano ich wówczas szerzej, a samemu dworowi poświęcono niewiele miejsca. Okazja do dokładniejszych badań nadarzyła się dopiero w roku 2020, w związku z przygotowywaniem materiałów do opracowania poświęconego dziejom tutejszego kościoła parafialnego. Wnioski z tychże badań prezentuję w niniejszym tekście.
