A tale of two gorges: Late Quaternary site formation and surface dynamics in the Mula basin (Murcia, Spain)

2018

Abstract We present a case-study in Palaeolithic archaeology focusing on formation processes at cave- and rock-shelter-sites in a Mediterranean context and on the correlation between site deposits, Quaternary surface sediments and the morphology of the surrounding land. We study three sites located in the basin of River Mula (Murcia, Spain): the cave-site of Cueva Anton and the rock-shelters of Finca Dona Martina and Abrigo de la Boja, in the Rambla Perea valley. They are examined through an integrated geoarchaeological approach that takes into account geomorphological, stratigraphic and soil micromorphological data. The three sites are found within a short distance and cover similar time s…

Archaeological construction and its relationship with place: the theme of shelters / Costruito archeologico e rapporto con il luogo: il tema delle co…

2013

Il rapporto con il luogo costituisce il punto di partenza per l’identificazione e la conoscenza di qualunque reperto archeologico. Nel caso di costruzioni archeologiche, tale rapporto si configura come insieme complesso di relazioni, da leggere con approccio sistemico e interdisciplinare, che risulta determinante anche sulla permanenza delle testimonianze del passato. Il tema delle coperture, oggetto di numerosi approfondimenti negli ultimi decenni, si presta a una lettura del modo in cui si è evoluto l’approccio al costruito archeologico il rapporto con il luogo, in funzione delle concezioni culturali e della maturazione della consapevolezza delle tante specificità in gioco, che si possono…

Urban Archaeology Enhancement / Valorizzare l’archeologia urbana

2013

Molte città europee convivono, in forme diversamente evidenti, con un costruito archeologico custodito nel suolo in cui si è sedimentato lo scorrere del tempo. Ciò rende l’archeologia urbana un tema di rilevante interesse, anche perché solleva questioni di elevata complessità, che richiedono una specifica attenzione che coinvolga sia la consapevolezza della storia e la volontà di conservarne e comunicarne le tracce, sia il dinamismo tipico delle trasformazioni contemporanee. I saggi raccolti in questo volume affrontano il tema sotto gli aspetti tecnologici, strutturali, conservativi, museologici e museografici, seguendo un’articolazione di esempi che comprende casi di costruzioni archeologi…

Innovative Applications and Experiments for the Protection of Archaeological Sites

2020

Nowadays, the protection in situ, the enhancement and the fruition of archaeological sites are issues that are even more relevant, if we take into account the effects caused, in recent decades, by climate change both on the conservation of the most fragile artefacts and on the well-being of visitors. New questions related to the ‘recover of identity’ are raised by the relationships that the protection interventions establish with the environmental context (external) and with the ancient ruins (internal), imposing an interpretation of the project as a union of landscape, morphological, climatic, technical, use and management aspects, or by requiring a holistic and integrated approach, from a…

Battered Women: Victims or Survivors?

2011

AbstractFrom 1970, research into women’s responses to marital violence became much more intense than ever before. Academic literature emphasizes two explanatory perspectives: of the woman as passive victim and of the woman who uses strategies to protect herself. The main goals of this study were to explore the effectiveness of personal strategies that women use to survive violence, the factors that influence the recurrence of violence, and the demand for shelter and the role of shelters in the process of recovery and healing. We interviewed eight battered women, from rural areas, all of whom had taken refuge in shelters, some of them several time. We identified a number of psychopathologica…

TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN. THE INNOVATION IN THE METHOD

2018

The book presents reflections on the centrality of Design in the discipline of Technology of Architecture and on the need to adapt the design method to the innovation of thought implemented by the research world. The theme of the Innovation in the Method of Technological Design is an interesting challenge that in this volume has been addressed considering the complexity of the levels of thematic depth, opening up to critical reflections, proposals for tools and illustration of case studies that show the breadth, relevance and multidimensionality of this issue. The era of digital and information technology have significantly influenced the way of doing and thinking in architecture and this e…
