Title: High-Lead Glazed Ceramic Production in Western Iberia (Gharb al-Andalus) between the 10th and mid-13th Centuries: An Approach from the City of Évora (Portugal)

Abstract: In the present study an archaeometry programme has been developed on a limited number
of coarse wares, monochrome, and bichrome glazed ceramics retrieved in the cities of Évora, Mértola,
and Silves, located inWestern Iberia, Portugal (Gharb al-Andalus during the Islamic period). The goals
were to shed light on the glazed ceramic provenance technology, trading, and on the glaze technology
applied. For this purpose, a multi-analytical approach was employed to characterize ceramic pastes
and glazes using optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and a
Scanning Electron Microscope coupled to an Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM-EDS). Results
evidenced that over the Islamic rule, coarse wares were locally produced at Évora. On the contrary,
monochrome and bichrome glazed ceramics were imported from the city of Silves, Mértola, and from
unidentified workshops, probably located in southern Iberia. The analysis of decorations evidenced
that despite the provenance of the samples, the glaze technology applied was rather uniform over
time, depicting a widespread technological transfer in the al-Andalus.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZMorpho-functional, decorative and petrographic study of islamic glazed/unglazed ceramics from the cities of Évora, Mértola and Silves.

Abstract: Glazed and unglazed ceramic fragments, recovered in the cities of Évora, Mértola and Silves, were the subject of a morpho-functional study, considering the typological and decorative characteristics observed in Gharb al-Andalus. Possible local and non-local productions in each city were identified by petrography of the ceramic bodies, considering the mineralogical composition of the ceramic paste and the local geology. As a result, a chronology between the 10th and mid-13th centuries AD were proposed for the samples studied. Regarding provenance, excluding unglazed ceramics produced in the city of Évora, the majority of samples were compatible with the geological characteristics of either cities of Silves and Mértola.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZPeuplement du Gharb al-Andalus pendant la période émirale.

Authors: Gómez-Martínez, Susana
Abstract: Although there is still little information on the settlement of the “emiral” period in Garb al-Andalus,some general patterns of evolution have been pointed out that are being nuanced and supplemented by data from preventive archeology related to large public undertakings. In addition to the continuities and transformations that a considerable number of Roman villae underwent, there are some data relating to the fortified rural settlement, some groups of small rural settlements, with special emphasis on the Beja kūra, a certain cave settlement detected in the Serra da Arrábida and some structures ofa marked religious character that may correspond either to small rural mosques, or to structures related to the practice of ribāṭ.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZProjets, Strategie et circulation du savoir: le processos d’implantation des constructions militaires sur les territoires à l’époque moderne

Abstract: Le point de départ pour ce texte sont les mots de Luís Serrão Pimentel : "ceux qui ne savent pas spéculer seront toujours confus dans la pratique”, à partir desquelles nous avons cherché à définir non seulement le support théorique des ingénieurs militaires au Portugal après 1640, avec un contexte européen, mais aussi la manière dont ils opéraient sur le terrain.
Au même temps, on essaye de réfléchir sur les témoignages de cette période dans le domaine de l'ingénierie militaire, et qui va au-delà de l'étude des traités et de leur contenu, jusqu'à l'importance des images qui accompagnent ces contenus. Ce thème, qui est aussi celui du rôle de la pratique, et de la manière dont elle s'exerce sur le terrain aux XVIIème et XVIIIème siècles, s’applique en autres domaines de l’architecture que la militaire. Les projets témoignent, par l'iconographie, des rapports entre science, art et technique, offrant un exemple d'harmonie entre les techniques militaires, les progrès dans l'utilisation de l'image et la construction d'un vocabulaire commun entre les ingénieurs militaires des royaumes européens et de ses possessions d'outre-mer à l'époque.//The starting point for this text is Luís Serrão Pimentel's expression "those who do not know how to speculate will always be confused in practice", from which we have sought to define not only the theoretical support of military engineers in Portugal after 1640, with a European context, but also the way in which they operated in the field. At the same time, we are trying to reflect on the testimonies of this period in the field of military engineering, which goes beyond the study of treaties and their contents, to the importance of the images that accompany these contents. This major theme, which is also that of the role of practice, and the way in which it was exercised in the field in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, applies to fields of architecture other than the military. The projets means also, has iconographic testifies, the relationship between science, art and technic, offering an example of harmony between military techniques, advances in the use of image and the construction of a common vocabulary between military engineers in European kingdoms and its overseas possessions at time.2023-01-01T00:00:00Z
