At CoDaWork'03 we presented work on the analysis of archaeological glass composi- tional data. Such data typically consist of geochemical compositions involving 10-12 variables and approximates completely compositional data if the main component, sil- ica, is included. We suggested that what has been termed `crude' principal component analysis (PCA) of standardized data often identi ed interpretable pattern in the data more readily than analyses based on log-ratio transformed data (LRA). The funda- mental problem is that, in LRA, minor oxides with high relative variation, that may not be structure carrying, can dominate an analysis and obscure pattern associated with variables present at higher absolute levels. We investigate this further using sub- compositional data relating to archaeological glasses found on Israeli sites. A simple model for glass-making is that it is based on a `recipe' consisting of two `ingredients', sand and a source of soda. Our analysis focuses on the sub-composition of components associated with the sand source. A `crude' PCA of standardized data shows two clear compositional groups that can be interpreted in terms of di erent recipes being used at di erent periods, re ected in absolute di erences in the composition. LRA analysis can be undertaken either by normalizing the data or de ning a `residual'. In either case, after some `tuning', these groups are recovered. The results from the normalized LRA are di erently interpreted as showing that the source of sand used to make the glass di ered. These results are complementary. One relates to the recipe used. The other relates to the composition (and presumed sources) of one of the ingredients. It seems to be axiomatic in some expositions of LRA that statistical analysis of compositional data should focus on relative variation via the use of ratios. Our analysis suggests that absolute di erences can also be informative

Desde 2000 desarrollamos proyectos de prospección arqueológica asistidos por SIG en la comarca de La Serena (Badajoz), con el objetivo principal de comprender la evolución de los paisajes rurales a lo largo de distintos periodos. Uno de los intereses principales de este proyecto es la mejora de los métodos de registro en campo para organizar de una forma rápida y eficaz la gran cantidad de datos de distinto tipo que se obtienen tras una jornada de trabajo. El propio diseño de la prospección arqueológica exige un intercambio de datos constante entre ordenadores y dispositivos móviles, como GPS y PDA, para lo que es necesario un entorno informático que ejecute estas tareas de una forma organizada. (...)

Sota els auspicis de la col·lecció Es Frares, l'Ajuntament de Lloret de Mar vol recopilar i salvaguardar els testimonis de la història de la vila amb la intenció de fer arribar aquest patrimoni cultural construit al llarg de generacions a la seva població. Prova d'aquest interés són les anteriors publicacions com "La bòbila romana de Fenals (Lloret de Mar)" o el que es presenta en aquesta ocasió, El fons municipal en pergamí de l'angiga universitat de Lloret de Mar
