Datos referentes a las Minas y Fábricas de Hellín y parte de la Sierra de Cartagena

La basílica y el baptisterio de Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete)

Se presenta el complejo religioso exhumado en la parte alta de la ciudad altomedieval del Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete), correspondiente a la Madînat Iyih de las fuentes árabes y, en opinión de los autores, a la sede episcopal Eiotana/Elotana creada a principios del siglo VII. El conjunto religioso está compuesto por una basílica de tres naves con ábside semicircular y un baptisterio anexo situado a los pies del edificio, también con distribución tripartita. En este artículo se estudia detalladamente el baptisterio, así como las distintas remodelaciones de la piscina bautismal, y se propone una restitución del espacio litúrgico.

Cerámica altomedieval en el Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete, España)

In this work we show the most important high medieval pottery context from the Tolmo of Minateda (Hellín, Albacete) based on their composition and stratified sequence. We establish three chronological horizons based on the continuous stratified sequence between the VII and IX century: the first horizon, that we consider visigothic period, with a dated between the second half of the VII century, and maybe, the first quarter of the VIII century; the second horizon, which is dated between the middle and the end of the VIII century being of earlier emiral period chronology, even though the morphology of this kind of productions is closer to the visigothic period ones; and the third horizon that dated on the IX century, in the same line of the emiral period pottery repertories which are documented in the Tudmir zone and some places of the east of Andalucia.

Sobre la cronología final de la TSHTM: el ejemplo del Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete)

En el presente trabajo realizamos una serie de valoraciones sobre el conjunto de fragmentos de hispánica tardía meridional (TSHTM) recuperados en el Tolmo de Minateda, cuyo análisis se relaciona con los datos preliminares que se desprenden del estudio pormenorizado de miles de fragmentos de cerámica para el servicio de mesa recuperados a lo largo de más de dos décadas de investigaciones en el yacimiento manchego.

The episcopal complex of Eio-El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete, Spain). Architecture and spatial organization. 7th to 8th centuries AD

The episcopal complex of Eio, located in El Tolmo de Minateda, was built between the end of the 6th century and the beginning of the 7th century, possibly as a political decision taken by the ecclesiastical authority in the capital of the Visigothic kingdom (Toletum). With the comprehensive study of the whole complex presented below (construction cycles, furniture, decoration and location of spaces), we can interpret the function of each space in the basilica and the domus episcopi, the liturgical and general movement routes, the existence of some hierarchical environments, and specify the chronological development of the buildings. After the Arab-Berber conquest of Hispania in the early 8th century, the whole complex will experience a series of transformations that will convert the religious and monumental public area into a private, residential and industrial Islamic quarter.

Moneda y espacios de poder en el reino visigodo. Los tremises de El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete)

Los trabajos arqueológicos realizados en El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete) han permitido sacar a la luz los vestigios de una civitas visigoda creada a finales del siglo VI o inicios del VII. El material numismático recuperado en los niveles de uso y abandono de esta civitas está formado fundamentalmente por numerario de cobre de adscripción romana bajoimperial, y por tremises de oro de baja ley emitidos por el Estado visigodo. La contextualización estratigráfica y espacial de estas monedas ha permitido plantear diversas cuestiones referidas a la presencia y uso del numerario en época visigoda.

Tapaderas articuladas tipo K de El Tolmo De Minateda (Hellín, Albacete, España): un ejemplo del comercio en el Altomedievo mediterráneo

El presente estudio se centra en torno a un lote de piezas, procedentes de las actuaciones arqueológicas que se han llevado a cabo durante los últimos veinte años en el despoblado altomedieval de El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete, España). El interés intrínseco de este tipo de objetos y su escasa proliferación justifican la necesidad de emprender la publicación de un conjunto material no muy conocido.

Cerámica, espacio doméstico y vida social: el temprano al-Andalus en el sudeste peninsular a la luz de El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete)

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la cerámica emiral como indicador material de las formas de vida social. Para ello, hemos basado nuestro trabajo en el estudio de los espacios domésticos. Se contrastan dos aspectos: el conocimiento preciso de los conjuntos materiales emirales en el SE de al-Andalus, y la lectura contextual (social antes que morfológica) de diversos conjuntos materiales procedentes de espacios domésticos bien documentados arqueológicamente en el barrio emiral de El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete). El número de objetos completos y su variedad funcional permite comprender el espacio doméstico y proponer pautas de comensalía y vida social.

Role of Diadegma semiclausum (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) in controlling Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae): Cage exclusion experiments and direct observation

We evaluated the role of the larval parasitoid, Diadegma semiclausum Hellén (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), in controlling Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) by cage exclusion experiments and direct field observation during the winter season in southern Queensland, Australia. The cage exclusion experiment involved uncaged, open cage and closed cage treatments. A higher percentage (54-83%) of P. xylostella larvae on sentinel plants were lost in the uncaged treatment than the closed (4-9%) or open cage treatments (11-29%). Of the larvae that remained in the uncaged treatment, 72-94% were parasitized by D. semiclausum, much higher than that in the open cage treatment (8-37% in first trial, and 38-63% in second trial). Direct observations showed a significant aggregation response of the field D. semiclausum populations to high host density plants in an experimental plot and to high host density plots that were artificially set-up near to the parasitoid source fields. The degree of aggregation varied in response to habitat quality of the parasitoid source field and scales of the manipulated host patches. As a result, density-dependence in the pattern of parasitism may depend on the relative degree of aggregation of the parasitoid population at a particular scale. A high degree of aggregation seems to be necessary to generate density-dependent parasitism by D. semiclausum. Integration of the cage exclusion experiment and direct observation demonstrated the active and dominant role of this parasitoid in controlling P. xylostella in the winter season. A biologically based IPM strategy, which incorporates the use of D. semiclausum with Bt, is suggested for the management of P. xylostella in seasons or regions with a mild temperature.

Sources and concentrations of volatile organic compounds

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a great influence on tropospheric chemistry; they affect ozone formation and they or their reaction products are able to take part in secondary organic aerosol formation; some of the VOCs are themselves toxic. Knowing the concentrations and sources of different reactive volatile organic compounds is essential for the development of ozone control strategies and for studies of secondary organic aerosol formation. The objective of this work was to study volatile organic compounds in urban air, develop and validate determination methods for them, characterize their concentrations and estimate the contributions of different VOC sources. Of the different compound groups detected in the urban air of Helsinki, alkanes were found to have the highest concentrations, but when the concentrations were scaled against the reactivity with hydroxyl radicals (OH), aromatic hydrocarbons and alkenes were found to have the greatest effect on local chemistry. Comparisons with rural sites showed that concentrations at Utö and Hyytiälä were generally lower than those in Helsinki, especially for the alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons, but concentrations of halogenated hydrocarbons at Utö and carbonyls at Hyytiälä were at the same level as in Helsinki. Most halogenated hydrocarbons do not have any significant sources in Helsinki, and carbonyls are formed in the atmosphere in the reactions of other VOCs, and are therefore also produced in other than urban areas. At Hyytiälä carbonyls were found to have an important role in the local chemistry. The contribution of carbonyls as an OH sink was higher than that of the monoterpenes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Based on the emission profile and concentration measurements, the contributions of different sources were estimated at urban (Helsinki) and residential (Järvenpää) sites using a chemical mass balance (CMB) receptor model. It was shown that it is possible to apply CMB in the case of a large number of different compounds with different properties. According to the CMB analysis, the major sources for these VOCs in Helsinki were traffic and distant sources. At the residential site in Järvenpää, the contribution due to traffic was minor, while distant sources, liquid gasoline and wood combustion made higher contributions. It was also shown that wood combustion can be an important source at some locations of VOCs usually considered as traffic-related compounds (e.g., benzene).
