Title: Las empresas de Gás en Espanã y Portugal en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX: origenes y consolidación Authors: Vasquez-Fariñas, Maria; Matés-Barco, Juan-Manuel; Castro-Valdivia, Mariano; Sampaio, Maria da Luz Editors: Universidad de las Palmas de Gran Canaria Abstract: El presente artículo ofrece un análisis comparativo de las empresas del gas existentes en la Península Ibérica a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Para ello, se ha buscado información sobre esta materia en archivos, bibliotecas y hemerotecas. Concretamente, el trabajo estudia el origen de este sector en España y Portugal en la década de los cuarenta y el proceso de consolidación de esta industria hasta finales de la centuria decimonónica, analizando las principales características del mismo, las empresas dedicadas a este negocio y el proceso de introducción de la iluminación por gas en dichos territorios.

Title: Provenance and technology of relief and/or lustre glazed ceramics from Mértola (Portugal) Authors: NIKOLOGIANNI, Stamatina; Gómez Martínez, Susana; Mirão, José; Dias, Luís; Catarino, Helena; Salinas, Elena; SCHIAVON, Nicola; Beltrame, Massimo Abstract: This paper presents a study of a selection of lustre, relief, and lustre-relief glazed ceramics found at Mértola (12th–13th centuries), and Coimbra (11th century), Portugal (i.e. Garb al-Andalus during the Islamic period). The primary aim is to examine the possibility of a local production of lustre, relief, and lustre-relief wares at Mértola, and to compare the ceramic, glaze, and lustre technology employed with that applied in the production of lustre ceramics recovered at Coimbra, supposedly produced at Seville (Spain) during the 11th century. The analytical protocol included Optical Microscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), and Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), in addition to High-Resolution Field Emission Gun Scanning Electron Microscopy (FEG-SEM). Considering the characteristics of the Mértola samples, during the 12th–13th centuries, different types of glazed ware, including lustre, relief, and lustre-relief, were locally produced, while others were imported. Conversely, Coimbra lustrewares evidenced significant technological differences, linking these samples to the Middle East tradition. To conclude, the results of this study evidenced, unexpectedly, that during the 11th century lustreware ceramics were imported into the al-Andalus, and not produced at Seville. The production started later, and Mértola ceramics from the 12th–13th centuries represent one ascertain example.

Title: As cerâmicas em QasTallâ Darrâj: estudo de materiais de um silo no Largo da Fortaleza de Cacela Velha Authors: Gomez Martinez, Susana; SILVEIRA, Camila; GARCIA, Cristina; DORES, Patrícia; VALENTE, Maria João Abstract: Localizada no sudoeste da Península Ibérica, Cacela Velha é uma pequena povoação algarvia que, durante o período medieval, teria sido parte do território costeiro do Gharb al-Andalus. Bem povoado até o século XIII, Cacela Velha possuiria uma alcaçova, além de um bairro extramuros. Em 2007, o Largo de sua fortaleza foi escavado em campanha arqueológica, onde se encontraram silos preenchidos com materiais islâmicos. Este artigo sumariza a análise de um conjunto de materiais cerâmicos provenientes do Silo 3.

Title: Introduction: Roads Were Designed to Connect People – Today as in Antiquity Authors: Carneiro, André Editors: Trapero Fernandez, Pedro; Arguelles, Patricia Abstract: From the perspective of the ruling powers in the Ancient world, the strategic vision involved connecting collective communities, not merely linking different locations. Numerous examples show that the perception of “people” took precedence over places of belonging, to the extent that entire communities were often relocated to areas far from their original territory. This vision also prevailed in road construction. All great empires built robust road networks, recognizing the strategic role that communication played in consolidating unity among distant communities.
