Literacy Measures That Leverage the Strengths of Spanish-Speaking Latino Kindergarteners
Researchers largely rely on child language and literacy measures to determine the effectiveness of interventions for Latino dual language learners. However, some of these measures may miss certain strengths of these students. This study identified two unstandardized language and literacy tasks (IDELA food and animal vocabulary and personal narratives) that might leverage some eco-cultural assets of Latino children; it also examined concurrent ass…
Non-Destructive Testing of Dalle de Verre Windows by Fernand Léger and Alexandre Cingria in Switzerland
Dalle de verre windows consist of thick slabs of coloured glass set in a matrix of reinforced concrete. The invention of this special art form is closely linked to the developments in modern architecture in the first half of the 20th century that are characterized by using new technologies such as steel-frame construction, reinforced concrete and the increasing use of glass. Many of these windows are showing damage, some of it severe. Until now, …

The Linking Role of the Alps in Past Cultures
The Alps cover a large area characterized by a pronounced relief that has been shaped by glaciers and which, historically, has been arbitrarily separated by political frontiers. Arguably, no other natural landscape in Europe has influenced our imagination as powerfully as the Alps. The Prealps and the Alpine foreland are also considered as part of the Alpine region because of geographical, cultural and historical links. Alpine climate, landforms,…
The Composition and Manufacture of Early Medieval Coloured Window Glass From Sion (Valais, Switzerland)—a Roman Glass‐making Tradition or Innovative Craftsmanship
Archaeological excavations between 1984 and 2001 at the early Christian cemetery church in Sion, Sous‐le‐Scex (Rhône Valley, Switzerland), brought to light more than 400 pieces of coloured window glass dating from the fifth or sixth centuries ad . The aims of this paper are threefold: first, to characterize the shape, colour and chemical composition of the glass; secondly, to understand whether the production of the coloured window panes followed…
The production technology of Iznik pottery—a reassessment
Previous research has established that Iznik pottery differs from other Islamic stonepaste pottery in that its stonepaste bodies contain lead oxide as well as soda and lime, and that a significant proportion of the tin oxide in its glaze is present in solution rather than as tin oxide particles. In order to better understand these distinguishing features, the chemical compositions and microstructures of Iznik pottery and tile samples, together wi…
Lead Isotope Analyses of Islamic Pottery Glazes From Fustat, Egypt
Lead isotope analyses have been undertaken on a group of Islamic lead‐glazed pottery artefacts from Fustat, Egypt, spanning the period from the eighth to the 14th century ad , that had previously been the subject of a comprehensive typological, chronological, petrographic and technological study. Comparison of the lead isotope ratios for the glazes with those for lead ores from Egypt, Iran, Tunisia, Anatolia, Greece, Sardinia and Spain provided i…
Estimation of the Production Parameters of Very Large Medieval Bricks from St. Urban, Switzerland
The aim of the present study is to determine the production technology of a particular type of large medieval brick. The firing temperature and their soak times are estimated using a combination of colour and fabric, as well as mineralogical, microstructural and open porosity analysis. A replication experiment was carried out in order to validate the estimated predictions, and to give a realistic idea of the time needed to dry and fire each large…
