Dynamic-Based Limit Analysis for Seismic Assessment of Free-Standing Walls of San Giovanni Church in Castelseprio Unesco World Heritage Site
Free-standing archaeological walls are significantly exposed to horizontal actions (e.g., earthquakes) as they lack connections provided by floors or roofs. In such cases, the dynamic response governs the activation of local mechanisms of collapse, determining the shape of the macroblocks and their position. Engineering models of archaeological walls are developed according to the results of extensive visual inspections and on-site testing, inclu…
Lo scavo di Via Dinka Dokule nel quadro della storia della città di Arbe/Rab (Croazia)
Between 2016 and 2018 and in agreement with the University of Zagreb and the Croatian Ministry of Culture, the University of Padua carried out an archaeological excavation in the Dinka Dokule street of the urban center of Rab . The documented sequence, between late antiquity and the sixteenth century, has been divided into nine main periods. In this contribution the first four are considered: (1) late Roman stratigraphy (4th-5th century); (2) fou…
Evaluating Participatory Practice In archaeology
In this paper we present a proposal for the creation of a standardized evaluation model for participatory/public/community archaeology and heritage initiatives. The proposal is the result of discussions during a Spring School that the University of Padua and the MAG Museum of Alto Garda, Italy, organized between 9 and 15 April 2018. The Spring School brought together international practitioners to compare experiences and share visions for the sus…

Selecting the Most Reliable 14 C Dating Material Inside Mortars
In order to radiocarbon ( 14 C) date a building, several components of the mortar could be used, such as the mortar binder, the lime lumps, the charcoal particles and shell fragments eventually present among the aggregates. In particular, the mortar binder requires a purification treatment in order to separate it from other sources of carbon, which could change the 14 C signature of the binder invalidating the dating process. Here, we present the…

Direct evidence from lipid residue analysis for the routine consumption of millet in Early Medieval Italy
Churches and aristocracies in seventh‐century Spain
After a decade of intense debate on the chronology of the so‐called Visigothic churches in Spain the divergent opinions have made little progress owing to the lack of reliable chronologies and the limits of a very stylistic approach. This article aims to present an analysis of the social and economic conditions of the seventh century (particularly the second half) as a background to understanding and defending the existence of church building in …
