Cuestiones urbanísticas en torno a la "civitas" de los Bañales (Uncastillo, Zaragoza)

El siguiente trabajo da cuenta de parte de la primera fase del Plan de Investigación de la Fundación Uncastillo en la ciudad romana de Los Bañales (Uncastillo, Zaragoza), en el extremo oriental del solar atribuido por las fuentes antiguas a los Vascones. Se defiende el carácter urbano y municipal del enclave, se vuelve sobre la identificación funcional de algunos de sus edificios singulares (templo y espacio porticado), se presentan nuevos materiales en relación a la ubicación de su necrópolis y, sobre todo, se proponen una nueva interpretación preliminar del trazado de su acueducto – con aporte de notables evidencias arqueológicas novedosas en este sentido – así como algunas matizaciones a la tradicional interpretación de las termas públicas del lugar, una ciudad cuyo apogeo debe situarse entre los siglos I y II d. C.The following paper presents part of the conclusions from the first year of archaeological work in the Researching Plan of Fundación Uncastillo in the Roman city of Los Bañales (Uncastillo, Zaragoza), in the East part of ancient Vascones' territory. We argue here the urban and municipal character of the settlement, come over on the functional comprehension of some of its singular buildings (temple and porticus space), present some new findings related with the situation of its burial area and, of course, try to give some new lights on the problem of the aqueduct line – also with new interesting evidences and fundings – and some reinterpretations on the plan of the well-known Roman baths of the city, specially developed between I and II century AD

Technology-Powered Strategies to Rethink the Pedagogy of History and Cultural Heritage through Symmetries and Narratives

Recent advances in semantic web and deep learning technologies enable new means for the computational analysis of vast amounts of information from the field of digital humanities. We discuss how some of the techniques can be used to identify historical and cultural symmetries between different characters, locations, events or venues, and how these can be harnessed to develop new strategies to promote intercultural and cross-border aspects that support the teaching and learning of history and heritage. The strategies have been put to the test in the context of the European project CrossCult, revealing enormous potential to encourage curiosity to discover new information and increase retention of learned information

D2.1 Crosscult Pilot Specifications

The report presents a collaborative effort of the four pilots, which took place in the first six months (M1-M6) of the project and focused on: 1) refining the original scenarios, 2) capturing the requirements, 3) defining the evaluation framework, 4) identifying the contributing technologies, 5) specifying the core gameplay for the four pilots and 6) outlining the ethical guidelines for experts

Archaeology & pilgrimage : studies around the rurAllure European project

Engramma 204 collects researches and findings of several Italian and European scholars who have dealt with aspects related to ancient, Medieval and Modern pilgrimage along the main three European Routes (Via Romea Francigena, Via Romea Strata, Via Romea Germanica), or along other routes to the Holy Land. The issue is divided into three sections. The first one is dedicated to the European project rurAllure by Martín López Nores, José Juan Pazos Arias, Susana Reboreda Morillo, Óscar Penín Romero, which focuses on the enhancement of minor sites along the pilgrimage routes of Europe, and it is accompanied by an overview on the development of promotional activities for some Italian cases supervised by Alessia Mariotti. The second section presents a series of studies related to some contexts that are close to mineral springs or important waterways and were frequented by pilgrims throughout the centuries: these are articles by Paola Zanovello and Andrea Meleri's on the Euganean Hills (Padua), by Maddalena Bassani's on the sanctuary of Minerva Medica in Val Trebbia (Piacenza) and that at Timavo’s Sources (Monfalcone), by Jacopo Turchetto on the centuriation between Padua and Altino. Furthermore, the articles by Silvia González Soutelo, Miguel Gómez-Heras, and Laura García Juan on the Bagno Vignoni area (Siena), and by Alessia Mariotti and Mattia Vitelli Casella on the Argenta site (Po Delta). In the third and final section one can read two important contributions, the first by Ludovico Rebaudo, devoted to the study of manuscript evidences recorded during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land about archaeological remains in Anatolia; the second by Jacopo Tabolli, who presents an exhibition on votive bronzes left by pilgrims in the sanctuary at the ‘Sorgenti di San Casciano ai Bagni’ (Siena) that recently opened at the Palazzo del Quirinale in Rome
