We report the results of dendrochronological investigation of timbers from the Barreiros shipwreck (Lugo, NW Spain), which was researched within the scope of the ForSEAdiscovery project. We also provide the tree-ring dataset (ring widths) in Heidelberg format obtained from the three oak (Quercus sp.) timbers sampled the research research (two hull planks and an unidentified element on a primary position). When several radii have been measured in a sample and a mean curve has been made, the keycode of the mean curve ends in 0. An Excel file includes the metadata and dendrochornological results of each sample as exported from PAST4 software (SCIEM). Since the samples remain undated, the EndYear reflects the length of the tree-ring series.

Although Digital Humanities have been defined from a discipline perspective in many ways, it is surely a field still looking for its own objects, practices and methodologies. Their development in the Spanish-speaking countries is no exception to this process and, even it is complex to trace a unique genealogy to give account for the evolving field in Spain and Latin America (Gonzalez-Blanco, 2013; Spence and Gonzalez-Blanco, 2014; Rio Riande 2014a, 2014b), the emergence of various associations in Mexico (RedDH), Spain (HDH) and Argentina (AAHD) that seek for a constant dialogue (Galina, González-Blanco and Rio Riande, 2015), and academic lab and DH center initiatives such as LINHD (Spain and Argentina), GRINUGR (Spain), Medialab USAL, LABTEC (Argentina), TadeoLab (Colombia), Elabora HD (Mexico), among others, make it clear that research has become increasingly “global, multipolar and networked” (Llewellyn Smith, et al., 2011) and that the academic field is looking for a global outreach and aims to open spaces of shared virtual work. Virtual Research Communities (VRCs) are a consequence of these changes. (Párrafo extraído a modo de resumen)

This document is an infosheet informing data producers of COVID-19 surveys with EMM (ethnic and migrant minority) respondents about the EMM Survey Registry and its COVID-19 collection, as well as encouraging them to contribute metadata about their survey to the COVID-19 collection. -- The EMM Survey Registry has been jointly produced by SSHOC’s Task 9.2 (Ethnic Migration Studies) team of Work Package 9 (Data Communities), in close collaboration with COST Action 16111 – ETHMIGSURVEYDATA (an international network of more than 200 researchers active in the ethnic and migration studies field) and FAIRETHMIGQUANT (a French Agence Nationale de la Recherche funded Open Science project).

From the 19th century onwards, with the introduction of new materials, such as iron and reinforced concrete, there was a significant change in construction, and vaults were gradually abandoned. However, before the Modern Movement, in the age of historicism, vaults were still used in churches and representative buildings. In the handbooks and treatises of the time, the more traditional techniques were included alongside the more modern ones and it is not uncommon, even well into the 20th century, to find chapters devoted to the construction of vaults. The search for economy in construction became particularly necessary in the post-war periods when many historic buildings had to be rebuilt. Traditional techniques of lightweight vault construction were used and the possibilities of new techniques were incorporated. Even some systems were patented. This article deals with the construction of light vaults between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries in Belgium, one of the pioneering countries in the industrial revolution.

[ES] En este artículo se presenta un estado de la cuestión acerca de los trabajos realizados sobre materiales cerámicos utilizando técnicas químico-físicas. El objetivo principal del trabajo han sido las contribuciones centradas en época prehistórica y protohistórica, cuyo ámbito geográfico ha sido el norte peninsular. Se han consultado los trabajos de investigación realizados desde la década de 1970 a la actualidad. Se observa así la evolución que se ha producido en este tipo de investigación desde los primeros trabajos en los que se analizaba un escaso número de muestras, a aquellas publicaciones en las que los estudios arqueométricos son el eje central y la herramienta para solucionar cuestiones históricas. Finalmente, se ofrece un listado de aquellos conjuntos cerámicos en los que se han llevado a cabo análisis o estudios arqueométricos, así como de las técnicas utilizadas en cada caso. [EN] This paper presents a state of the art about works carried out on ceramic materials using chemical-physical techniques. The main goal of this paper has been those contributions focused on prehistoric and protohistoric times, whose geographic scope has been the Northern part of the Iberian Peninsula. Research works undertaken since the 70s up to the present have been consulted. It is observed the evolution that has occurred in this type of research since the first works in which a small number of samples was analyzed to those publications in which archaeometric studies are the central axis and the tool to solve historical queries. A list of those archaeological sites in which analysis or archaeometric studies have been accomplished, as well as the techniques employed in each case is also included.

[ES] La tradición de la construcción en piedra en Catalunya se remonta a tiempos protohistóricos y presenta una continuidad ininterrumpida hasta nuestros días. En este estudio nos proponemos mostrar las formas como fueron utilizados los recursos pétreos en la construcción de edificaciones diversas desde el siglo VI hasta el siglo XI. Analizaremos estructuras de adecuación del territorio, las construcciones vinculadas al hábitat, las fortificaciones y edificaciones de carácter cultual. Nos interesa especialmente mostrar los tipos de piedra que fueron utilizados en las construcciones, las zonas de extracción, el labrado y las distintas técnicas de colocación de los sillares, los materiales de unión, así como los recubrimientos. Este análisis nos deberá permitir establecer las características diferenciadoras de las edificaciones vinculadas a las construcciones populares de aquellas que están relacionadas con las élites. Las evidencias arqueológicas nos aportaran los datos necesarios para abordar estos objetivos por lo que consultaremos bibliografía específica de distintos yacimientos seleccionados para tal fin. Los criterios de selección se fundamentan en dos principios básicos: los restos conservados y la calidad y detalle de la información que los investigadores correspondientes nos ofrecen en sus publicaciones. [EN] The tradition of stone construction in Catalonia dates back to protohistoric times, and displays an uninterrupted continuity right up to the present day. In this study, we set out to show the ways in which stone resources were used in the construction of various different buildings from the 6th century clown to the 11 'h century. We will analyse structures designed to adapt the local territory, constructions linked to the habitar, fortifications, and buildings used as places of worship. We are especially interested in showing the types of stone used in constructions, the areas where they were quarried, the way they were worked, and the various different techniques for laying the stone blocks, the bonding agents and materials, as well as materials used to cover the wall surfaces. This analysis should allow us to establish the distinguishing characteristics of buildings linked to lower-status constructions, as distinct from those connected to élite groups. Archaeological evidence will the 11th century, and in the 12th century too, among the social classes of the local aristocracy. Actas del congreso Il paesaggio pietrificato.

Últimos trabajos y futuras líneas de investigación tiene el objetivo de divulgar las últimas investigaciones y trazar nuevas e innovadoras líneas de trabajo sobre los estudios arqueológicos desarrollados en Faro de Limanes. Se transferirá a la sociedad la idea de que la cerámica faruca está viva y sigue aportando grandes cantidades de información sobre nuestro pasado. El centro productor cerámico de Faro de Limanes es uno de los alfares más importantes del norte de la península ibérica debido a la gran difusión alcanzada por sus piezas y su producción ininterrumpida desde al menos el siglo XI hasta la actualidad. Por ello, su cerámica se nos muestra como un elemento clave para comprender la Edad Media y la modernidad asturiana. En las últimas décadas se han desarrollado un buen número de trabajos de investigación que han estudiado la cerámica de Faro de Limanes con diferente profundidad, enfoques y perspectivas. El ánimo de esta Jornada es reunir a todos los investigadores que han trabajado arqueológicamente sobre Faro de Limanes y su cerámica para que, de manera conjunta, informen y debatan sobre sus avances. Se presentarán resultados de proyectos pasados y presentes, nuevas líneas de trabajo, y se expondrán diferentes técnicas de estudio. Faro de Limanes y su cerámica tiene un pasado apasionante, pero también un presente de estudios novedosos y, sin duda, un futuro con un enorme potencial. El Museo Arqueológico de Asturias, al ser el custodio de nuestro objeto de estudio, resulta el enclave ideal para el desarrollo de la Jornada.

The Spanish delegation of Cost Action 16111 - ETHMIGSURVEYDATA organized a webinar in Spanish to present the EMM (Ethnic and Migrant Minority) Survey Registry to a Spanish-speaking audience. This webinar took place on 1 June 2021 and was titled “Presentación del Registro de Encuestas a Minorías Étnicas e Inmigrantes en España." During this webinar, Laura Morales, the Chair of ETHMIGSURVEYDATA and the leader of Task 9.2 (Ethnic and Migration Studies) of SSHOC, gave a presentation highlighting how the EMM Survey Registry allows a wide range of users to discover and learn about existing quantitative surveys undertaken with EMM (sub)populations in Spain and across Europe. -- The EMM Survey Registry is jointly being produced by SSHOC’s Task 9.2 (Ethnic Migration Studies) team of Work Package 9 (Data Communities), in close collaboration with COST Action 16111 – ETHMIGSURVEYDATA (an international network of more than 200 researchers active in the ethnic and migration studies field) and FAIRETHMIGQUANT (a French Agence Nationale de la Recherche funded Open Science project).
