A Metalurgia De Inícios Do I Milénio A.C. No Centro De Portugal. Novos Dados Da Cachouça (Idanha-A-Nova)

29 December 2022

This article discusses the archaeological findings at the Cachouça site in Portugal, which was discovered during field surveys in 1990. The site, located in Idanha-a-Nova, Castelo Branco, has been subject to various excavations revealing two distinct phases possibly linked to the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age transition. The collection of 21 copper-based artefacts found at the site includes unique features such as a rotary spit and a zoomorphic figurine, indicating a regional significance. The artefacts reflect a binary metallurgy of copper and tin, typical of the Late Bronze

Roman coins at the edge of the Negev: characterisation of copper alloy artefacts and soil from Rakafot 54 (Beer Sheva, Israel)

22 December 2022

The research article focuses on the non- and semi-destructive analysis of copper alloys, corrosion, and soil components from a Roman archaeological site in Israel. The study employed portable X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, and micromorphological analyses to investigate the corrosion processes affecting copper alloy artefacts. The primary objective was to characterise the alloy composition, soil environments, and corrosion products to gain insights into the degradation factors influencing the artefacts. Preliminary findings revealed that the artefacts were made of copper-lead-tin alloys covered with copper hydroxy-chlorides

High tech or high touch? Heritage encounters and the power of presence

20 December 2022

This article challenges the increasing emphasis on digital technologies to enhance encounters with the past in heritage landscapes. Beginning with a memory from childhood, it conceptualises presence as being there and reviews recent approaches in heritage studies that highlight the benefits of embodied experiences in heritage places, including reinforcing feelings of wellbeing and ontological security. The paper outlines the limitations of high-tech digital heritage tools, particularly the lack of critical perspectives assessing the ethical and methodological challenges of employing them in heritage landscapes. It argues that there is a recurring

Greening the Creative Europe Programme – Final Report

12 December 2022

This report, commissioned by the European Commission, explores the initiative ‘Greening the Creative Europe Programme.’ Developed by Ecorys, it aims to integrate climate actions into the Creative Europe Programme without altering its core objectives. Aligned with the European Parliament’s call for greening Erasmus+, Creative Europe, and the European Solidarity Corps, the report spans the previous Creative Europe Programme (2014-2020) and the initial two years of the current one (2021-2022). The study outlines objectives, including research on guidance for project applicants, monitoring green aspects, collecting green practices, and documenting progress. Beyond

A holistic approach to understanding the iron-gall inks in the historical documents of the Portuguese Inquisition (1570–1790)

8 December 2022

The article delves into a comprehensive analysis of the writing inks used in historical documents related to the Portuguese Inquisition from 1570 to 1790. Through the utilisation of advanced analytical techniques such as micro-Raman spectroscopy and micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the study aims to unravel the mysteries surrounding the iron-gall inks prevalent in these documents. The research reveals significant differences in the colour and texture of the inks, indicating potential variations in composition and sources. Notably, the presence of Zn-containing inks raises questions about intentional additions or diverse ink origins.

Heritage Conversations: Learning from Heritage Opportunities/threats within Mega-Events in Europe (HOMEE)

1 December 2022

Heritage Opportunities/threats within Mega-Events in Europe (HOMEE) project realised jointly by partners from Italy, Cyprus, Poland and the United Kingdom, was awarded with the European Heritage Awards | Europa Nostra Awards 2022 in the category of Research. Our conversation gives a closer insight into this project, asking the major question: What can we learn from HOMEE? Participants of the discussion: Davide Ponzini Dr Franco Bianchini Dr Joanna Sanetra-Szeliga ‘Heritage Conversations’ is a series of discussions led by the Europa Nostra Heritage Hub team in Kraków. Their goal is to promote

Digitalisierung und nachhaltiges Kulturerbe- Management

1 December 2022

One key focus is the role of digital initiatives in engaging younger audiences and local communities with European heritage. It discusses the evolving needs and expectations of stakeholders in the cultural sector, emphasising the

Limestones durability study on salt crystallisation: An integrated approach

1 December 2022

Limestones are often used as building stones in contemporary architecture. Salt weathering is one of the main threats affecting this lithology. In this study, two Portuguese limestones (Branco Real and Lioz Coral) were subjected to laboratory salt crystallisation cycles by reconsidering the normative EN 12370 (Determination of the resistance to crystallisation of salts). The proposed test method consisted of 2 h of immersion in a 14 % solution of sodium sulphate decahydrate followed by 22 h drying at 40◦C instead of 105 °C imposed by the normative. A series of
