The Qal’a of Beni Ḥammād (medieval Algeria) and glaze technology
Glazed production in the Qal'a of Beni Ḥammād. • Use of tin-opacification technology in medieval Central Maghreb. • Wide range of glazing techniques and decorative methods used. • Presence of glazed ceramics produced outside of Qal’a. • New insights into the commercial and technological connections between the Hammadid capital and the Mediterranean. The Qal’a of Beni Ḥammād served as the capital of the Hammadids in the 11th century and constitute…
La vida cotidiana de al-Mariyya en el siglo XII a través de su ajuar cerámico
The following work focuses on the study of the Islamic ceramic from a house of the archaeological site of Barrio Andalusí (Almería), with the aim of recognising what type of ceramic ware was consumed in the 12th century in al-Mariyya. To this end, an analysis of the ceramics at the morphological, technical and decorative levels was carried out. In addition, the reference literature on Andalusi ceramics has been used to obtain more information on …
Provenance and technology of relief and/or lustre glazed ceramics from Mértola (Portugal)
Local production of relief, lustre and relief-lustre wares confirmed in Mértola by analysis of ceramics samples. • Distinct glaze technologies observed in samples from Mértola and Coimbra. • Coimbra samples linked to Middle Eastern lustre and glaze technology, indicating imports. • Lustre decorations were obtaine using coppr (Mértola) and silver plus copper (Mértola and Coimbra) This paper presents a study of a selection of lustre, relief, and lu…
The secret is quartz
A group of a well-known polychrome glazed ceramic, widespread in the western Mediterranean in the eleventh and first half of the twelfth centuries, has been analysed for the first time using Optical Microscopy (OM) and a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), in order to shed some light on the materials, production technology and provenance, about which there are various hypotheses. T…
Tackling early medieval circulation of glazed ware in Sharq al-Andalus using a multidisciplinary approach
This paper offers an analysis of a group of glazed ceramics that comes from El Tolmo de Minateda site and have been dated in the second half of the ninth century and beginning of the tenth century, before the proclamation of the Umayyad Caliphate by Abderraman III (929 CE). Three technological groups have been distinguished: transparent glazes of one or two colours, transparent polychrome glazes (represented by two pieces) and opaque polychrome g…
Continuity and innovation in glazed tableware consumption in North Africa from the Fatimid to Zirid periods
Excavations in the former Roman port of Utica (North Tunisia) by the University of Oxford and the INP (Tunisie) have revealed an area of medieval Islamic houses in the area of the Roman forum. Stratified sequences of pottery have established four main phases of occupation which would appear to span the mid-10th to mid-11th century. The range of glazed wares and other classes of pottery is summarised per phase and a detailed study of the glaze tec…
Del vidrio a la cerámica vidriada
En los últimos años se ha investigado la tecnología de producción del vidriado altomedieval en la Península Ibérica con el objetivo de comprender su origen, ya que, tras la época romana, la ceramica vidriada deja de producirse en Iberia. Para ello, se ha estudiado la cadena operativa en la producción de la cerámica vidriada en al-Andalus, concretamente en los primeros talleres donde se produjo, Pechina, Córdoba y Málaga (siglo IX). Aunque al prin…
An early example of glaze technology diffusion in North Africa
Technological changes in the glazed wares of northern Tunisia in the transition from Fatimid to Zirid rule

From Glass to Glaze in al-Andalus
It has long been assumed that lead glazing technology preceded glassmaking in the Western world and that the technological transfer was from glazes to glass. Here, we present new evidence for the reverse, the indigenous innovation of glassmaking and its transfer to glazes in early Islamic al-Andalus (Spain). Compositional analyses show that Islamic lead glazes from Córdoba are intimately related to a distinct type of high-lead glass, suggesting a…

Revisando las primeras producciones vidriadas islámicas cordobesas a la luz de la arqueometría
En este artículo se propone una revisión de las primeras cerámicas vidriadas andalusíes. A partir de análisis arqueométricos se caracterizan los primeros vidriados, se tratan los problemas de conservación y alteración de estas producciones y se identifican las diferentes tradiciones tecnológicas que convivieron a finales del emirato en Córdoba. Además se buscan las conexiones tecnológicas con otros territorios islámicos y bizantinos
Introducción
La cerámica islámica ha tenido un importante papel en los estudios de arqueología e historia medieval. Su relevancia como objeto clave de la cultura material es innegable debido a sus características, entre las que destacamos su omnipresencia y su indestructibilidad, cualidades que permiten que encontremos fragmentos de cerámica en todos los yacimientos arqueológicos. Así, se ha utilizado como fósil guía para datar las fases de las excavaciones, …
The introduction of the glaze in al-Andalus
This research develops a much-needed approach to the study of glazed ware production in al-Andalus (Muslim Spain and Portugal) during the early Middle Ages. The introduction of glaze to the Iberian Peninsula was a long and complex process involving three waves of technology transfer arriving from the eastern Islamic regions between the ninth and eleventh centuries. In this paper, the main glaze workshops of each technological wave have been chara…
Madīnat al-Zahrā' or Madīnat Qurtuba? First evidences of the Caliphate tin glaze production of 'verde y manganeso' ware
From tin- to antimony-based yellow opacifiers in the early Islamic Egyptian glazes
Glaze technology in the medieval and post-medieval Mediterranean
Glaze production at an early Islamic workshop in al-Andalus
Tracing the tin-opacified yellow glazed ceramics in the western Islamic world
A small group of opaque yellow glazed sherds has recently been identified among the ceramics excavated at the Islamic city of Madinat al-Zahra’ near Cordoba, in al-Andalus (southern Spain), which was founded in 936 AD as the seat of the Umayyad Caliphate power. A small group of sherds from Madinat al-Zahra’, which can be dated to about 960-980 AD, has been examined in polished section in a SEM with EDS attached. These analyses have established th…
The transition from lead transparent to tin-opacified glaze productions in the western Islamic lands
Cerámica vidriada de época emiral en Córdoba
This paper is a first approximation to the glazed ceramic from Cordova (Spain) from Emirate phase. Firstly, there is a summary of a few findings exhumed and published in Cordova. Then, a study of a very interesting ceramic assemblage is presented due to it being a closed context, dated to the late 9th or early 10th centuries. The importance of this discovery lies in the quality of the pieces and the variety in their forms and decorations. Some of…
Aproximación al estudio de la cerámica emiral del arrabal de Saqunda (Qurtuba, Córdoba)
Durante la I.A.U. desarrollada en los años 2001–2002 se localizó parte del primer arrabal emiral de Qurtuba (finales s. VIII – inicios s. IX d.C.), mencionado en los textos literarios como el arrabal de fiaqunda o al-rabad. El copioso material cerámico recogido junto a su buen estado de conservación, ha permitido realizar un primer análisis para aproximarnos a la vajilla que utilizaron sus habitantes durante los primeros momentos de la ocupación …
