Material History of Ethiopic Manuscripts: Original Repair, Damage, and Anthropogenic Impact
Ethiopic manuscript studies have become a rapidly expanding field in recent decades. However, most research has focused on cataloging and textual analysis. This study examines the material traces of original addenda, patterns of deterioration, and desecration of indigenous conservation ethics. A combination of codicological and paleographic methods was used. This approach is vital for documenting historical features, understanding the context of …
Perception of Vertical Greening Applications on Historic Buildings
The implementation of Vertical Greening Systems (VGS), like green façades, on historic building facades is approached with caution due to concerns regarding material compatibility, visual impact, and potential compromises to cultural significance. However, VGS can offer significant contributions to urban sustainability when integrated with knowledge and care of historic buildings by reducing the urban heat island effect, improving air quality, fo…
Modeling Salt Behavior with Ecos/Runsalt: Terminology, Methodology, Limitations, and Solutions
Damage to porous materials in heritage buildings caused by salt mixture crystallization is driven by the surrounding environmental conditions. To understand the crystallization behavior of a mixed salt solution as a function of changing climatic conditions (i.e., relative humidity and temperature), excluding factors such as the internal pore structure, the thermodynamic model ECOS/RUNSALT is the only freeware available that requires simple input …
Thermal Alteration of Flint: An Experimental Approach to Investigate the Effect on Material Properties
Archaeological lithic assemblages are often affected by burning, as evident from severe thermal damage on these artefacts. In this study, the thermal alteration of four different flint types was investigated by performing controlled heating experiments in laboratory setting. The resulting heat alterations were afterwards compared to heating of flint samples in campfire experiments, as these correspond better to the burning conditions present duri…
Burning flint: An experimental approach to study the effect of fire on flint tools
Voir à travers le métal: Les techniques d’imagerie appliquées à l’étude des épées de l’âge du Bronze
L’utilisation de la radiographie en lien avec l’étude du mobilier métallique débute à la fin des années 1950 en Allemagne, au sein de différentes institutions telles que le Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum de Mayence ou le Rheinisches Landesmuseum de Bonn. Dès lors, son usage dans le cadre archéologique s’est largement répandu. Depuis quelques années, elle a également évolué : des techniques de radiographie numérique permettent aujourd’hui de s…

Preliminary characterization of flint raw material used on prehistoric sites in NW Belgium
This study aims at analyzing the mineralogical, chemical, and structural characteristics of flint raw material used for the production of prehistoric stone tools in NW Belgium. Understanding these characteristics is important to recognize their value for tool making and even tool use during prehistory. Due to its formation process, flint is defined by a wide variety of internal structures, chemical variations, and impurities. Moreover, alteration…
