El estudio se articula en torno a tres ejes: En uno primero se recogen y desgranan "Las informaciones de Sagunto/Murbīṭar procedentes de las fuentes árabes escritas", tanto las noticias sobre diversos eventos históricos, como las noticias de las fuentes geográficas y literarias árabes (en especial las relacionadas con la descripción de sus monumentos), acabando con algunos apuntes demográficos. En un segundo apartado se estudia "La mutación toponímica de Saguntum a Murbīṭar, como fuente de información histórica", mientras que en el tercero y último se habla de "Las conquistas cristianas de Sagunto/Murbīṭar/Morvedre".

El presente trabajo muestra la caracterización en detalle de la secuencia estratigráfica de los depósitos miocenos de la isla de Nueva Tabarca, el empleo de estos materiales en el patrimonio arquitectónico de la isla y su comportamiento frente la degradación. En la serie miocena, a grandes rasgos, se definen tres tramos. El tramo inferior, rico en clastos dolomíticos, muestra una alternancia de arenitas y calcarenitas. El tramo intermedio corresponde a una sucesión de niveles de calcirruditas con laminación cruzada cuya parte superior está representada por un nivel de grandes bioclastos, rodolitos y arenitas de grano fino. El comienzo del último tramo está marcado por la presencia de varias superficies arenosas más litificadas sobre las que se sitúa un banco de arenitas de grano fino y laminación paralela. Si bien las canteras extraían sillares de todas estas litofacies, existe una mayor extracción de los últimos niveles de la serie. Estas rocas presentan una durabilidad moderada-baja, degradándose fácilmente mediante arenización, escamación y/o alveolización.

El presente estudio tiene por objeto estudiar y analizar la vajilla y el instrumental metálico relacionados con los rituales de sacrificio y banquete funerario que se practicaron en el valle medio del Ebro durante los siglos centrales del Ier Milenio a. C. La investigación se ha centrado en la extensa información que proporciona la necrópolis de El Castillo (Castejón, Navarra), un espacio funerario que, por el momento, constituye una asombrosa excepción en un horizonte marcado por la ausencia o la parquedad de los datos.

Medieval fortified granaries known as “agadirs” are very common in southern Morocco, being catalogued as world cultural heritage by United Nations. These Berber buildings (made of stones and tree trunks) usually located on rocky promontories, constitute historical testimonials related to the origin of Morocco, and, as tourist attractions, have a positive impact on the local economy. The sustainability of these ancient monuments requires geological-risk evaluations of the massif stability under the agadir with the proposal of stabilization measures, and an architectonic analysis with appropriate maintenance of the structural elements. An interdisciplinary study including climate, seismicity, hydrology, geology, geomorphology, geotechnical surveys of the massif, and diagnosis of the degradation of structural elements have been performed on the Amtoudi Agadir, selected as a case study. The main findings from this study are that the prevalent rocks used for construction (coming from the underlying substratum) are good-quality arkosic sandstones; the SW cliffs under the agadir are unstable under water saturation; some masonry walls are too thin and lack interlocking stones and mortar; and failures in the beams (due to flexure, fracture, and exhaustion in the resistance due to insect attacks or plant roots) are common. The basic risk assessment of ancient buildings of cultural heritage and their geologic substratum are needed especially in undeveloped areas with limited capacity to implement durable conservation policies. Therefore, recommendations have been provided to ensure the stability and maintenance of this important archaeological site.

Cultural heritage sites all over the world are at risk due to aggressive urban expansion, development, wars and general obsolescence. Not all objects are recorded in detail although they may have social and historical significance. For example more emphasis is placed on the recording of castles and palaces than on crofters’ cottages or tenement blocks, although their history can be just as rich. This paper will investigate the historic fabric of Aberdeen through the use of digital scanning, supported by a range of media including old photographs and paintings. Dissemination of social heritage through visualisations will be explored and how this can aid the understanding of space within the city or specific area. Focus will be given to the major statues/monuments within the context of the city centre, exploring their importance in their environment. In addition studying why many have been re-located away from their original site, the reasons why, and how we have perhaps lost some of the social and historical importance of why that monument was first located there. It will be argued that Digital Media could be utilised for much more than re-creation and re-presentation of physical entities. Digital scanning, in association with visualisation tools, is used to capture the essence of both the cultural heritage and the society that created or used the sites in association with visualisation tools and in some way re-enacting the original importance placed upon the monument in its original location, through adoption of BIM Heritage.

Las comunidades judías tuvieron una importante presencia en la Península Ibérica, especialmente en la Edad Media. En la actualidad, ante las nuevas motivaciones y expectativas de los turistas y visitantes, el turismo cultural es una alternativa que está consolidada o en fase de consolidación, sobre todo en los territorios de interior. Por ello, desde la Red de Juderías de España se han diseñado unos productos turísticos que, por una parte, permiten conocer los barrios judíos de 24 ciudades, así como sus principales monumentos, su historia y su cultura. Por la otra, se pueden visitar las bodegas donde se elabora y comercializa el vino siguiendo el método Kosher. En este artículo se estudian cuáles son los factores que más inciden en la satisfacción de los turistas al hacer estas dobles visitas a partir del análisis de una serie de entrevistas personales realizadas.

Este artigo descreve o uso de artefatos funerários na reconstituição histórica do processo de trabalho em marmorarias instaladas no município de São Carlos (São Paulo, Brasil), no período 1890-1950. Observação direta e registro fotográfico de artefatos funerários, exame de ferramentas de trabalho e utilização de fontes orais permitiram a reconstituição do processo de trabalho. A composição química de fragmentos de artefatos funerários foi determinada por Difração de Raios X e Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura, evidenciando matérias-primas e sua combinação e uso no processo de trabalho. Considerando-se as etapas produtivas da indústria de rochas ornamentais (extração, serragem e beneficiamento final), os artefatos funerários indicam que as marmorarias inseriam-se na etapa de beneficiamento final. As marmorarias integravam os setores de base técnica artesanal da indústria brasileira, apresentando: baixo grau de concentração de capital e de operários; predomínio da habilidade do ofício especializado; separação pouco nítida entre trabalhadores e instrumentos de trabalho; identificação do trabalhador com o produto. Artefatos de mármore e granito eram destinados a brasileiros de segmentos sociais abastados, durante o início da imigração na cidade de São Carlos (final do século XIX). A partir de 1920, italianos incorporam-se a clientela dos marmoristas, indicando a mobilidade social do imigrante na cidade.

Natural stone has been a popular and reliable building material throughout history appearing in many historic monuments and in more recent buildings. Research into the intrinsic properties of specific stones is important because it gives us a greater understanding of the factors that limit and act on them. This can help prevent serious problems from occurring in our buildings bringing both esthetic benefits and financial savings. To this end, the main objective of this research has been to study the influence of the fabric and the mineral composition of two types of sandstone on their durability. The first is a red continental sandstone from the Buntsandstein Age called “Molinaza Roja”, which is quarried in Montoro (Cordoba). The second is quarried in Ronda (Malaga) and is sold under the trade name of “Arenisca Ronda”. It is a light pink-whitish calcarenite deposited during the Late Tortonian to Late Messinian. We characterized their petrological and petrophysical properties by studying their rock fabrics, porous systems and mechanical properties. In order to obtain a complete vision of the behavior of their rock fabrics, we also carried out two decay tests, the salt crystallization and the freeze–thaw tests. We then measured the effects on the textures of the altered samples during and after the decay tests and we evaluated the changes in the porous system. By comparing the results between intact and altered samples, we found that Arenisca Ronda is less durable because it has a high quantity of expandable clays (smectites) and a high percentage of pores in the 0.1–1 μm range, in which the pressure produced by salt crystallization is strongest. In Molinaza Roja the decay agents caused significant sanding due to loss of cohesion between the clasts, especially during the salt crystallization test. In both stones, the anisotropies (oriented textures) have an important role in their hydric and dynamic behavior and also affect their mechanical properties (especially in the compression resistance). No changes in color were detected.
