A Taste for Green
Often along vast expanses, ancient societies traded certain commodities that were considered valuable either for functional or symbolic reasons – or, rather, a mixture of both factors. A Taste for Green addresses latest research into the acquisition of jade, turquoise or variscite, all of which share a characteristic greenish colour and an engaging appearance once they are polished in the shape of axes or assorted adornments. Papers explore how, in addition to constituting economic transactions, the transfess of these materials were also statements of social liaisons, personal capacities, and relation to places or to unseen forces. The volume centres on two study areas, Western Europe and ...
Graphical Heritage
This book presents the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Graphic Design in Architecture, EGA 2020, focusing on heritage – including architectural and graphic heritage as well as the graphics of heritage. The third of three volumes, this book discusses topics related to mapping, cartography and landscape, as well as innovative education methods, particularly in the context of teaching architectural heritage. It covers historical cartography and new cartographies, as well as methods for representing the landscape, and reports on different learning methods and practices, including classroom methods but also those involving more active participation and multidisciplinary and collaborative production. Given its scope, this book will appeal cartographers, designers and teachers, providing them with extensive information on innovative methodologies and a source of inspiration for their future work.
LA BANDA GALLEGA
Banda Gallega es la denominación histórica que ha recibido la actual Sierra de Huelva, haciendo referencia a su condición fronteriza frente al reino de Portugal y por analogía a la Banda morisca que separaba la Andalucía cristiana de la Granada nazarí. Se analizan aquí la conquista del territorio en el siglo XIII, la preexistencia de núcleos y fortificaciones islámicos, la construcción de nuevos castillos e iglesias y las repercusiones en la zona de la compleja situación política sevillana a finales de la Edad Media, sin olvidar, por supuesto, la reactivación fronteriza que experimenta la raya a raíz de las guerras con Portugal en el siglo XVII.
Castillos y arquitectura fortificada en Andalucía
Arquitectos, arqueólogos, historiadores del arte, juristas y gestores del patrimonio analizan cómo conservar y restaurar los castillos y la arquitectura defensiva, quedando agrupados sus escritos en tres partes: una primera dedicada a metodología, legislación y recomendaciones; otra centrada en la gestión y la práctica, con ejemplos españoles e internacionales; y una tercera dedicada a intervenciones en castillos andaluces. Todo ello se completa con un amplio anexo que comprende cuarenta y seis informes, realizados a modo de fichas y ampliamente ilustrados, sobre obras de restauración de fortificaciones de Andalucía efectuadas a comienzos del siglo XXI
PAISAJES, TIEMPOS Y MEMORIA

METALLUM
Huelva, provincia metalogenética por excelencia, cuenta con más de 5000 años de minería que sería imposible plasmarla en un simple libro. En esta edición se ha tratado de exponer las características de la minería suribérica desde varios puntos de vistas: arqueológico, geológico, minero, histórico y patrimonial, dando a conocer así el gran potencial minero que posee el arco suribérico español y las diferentes posibilidades de explotación tanto industrial, con los nuevos proyectos de inversión, como turísticos.
Good Practice in Archaeological Diagnostics
This volume represents the most important “deliverable” of the European-funded project Radio-Past (www.radiopast.eu). It is intended to disseminate the key results achieved in the form of methodological guidelines for the application of non-destructive approaches in order to understand, visualize and manage complex archaeological sites, in particular large multi-period settlements whose remains are still mostly buried. The authors were selected from among the project research “staff” but also from among leading international specialists who served as speakers at the two international events organized in the framework of the project (the Valle Giulia Colloquium of Rome – 2009 and the Colloquium of Ghent – 2013) and at the three Specialization Fora, the high formation training activities organized in 2010, 2011 and 2012. As such, the book offers contributions on diverse aspects of the research process (data capture, data management, data elaboration, data visualization and site management), presenting the state of the art and drafting guidelines for good practice in each field.
