    Tras una primera parte en la que ponemos de manifiesto la escasez de investigaciones arqueológicas sobre construcciones termales medicinales de época roniana en nuestro país, pasamos a describir el conjunto termal de Caldes de Montbui. La parte mejor conservada corresponde a la plaza de la Font del Lleó, seguida del Antiguo Hospital de Santa Susagna. A continuación, damos una interpretación de las estructuras conocidas, intentando clarificar la diferencia entre los dos términos laconicum y concamerata sudatio. Se completa el trabajo con un intento de reconstrucción del balneario y las conclusiones, en las que se destaca la importancia del mismo.After a first part in which we point out the lack of archaeological researchs about medical thermal buildings in Román times in our country, we discribe tlie thermal site of Caldes de Montbui. The best preserved part is the square of «Font del Lleó», followed by the Oíd Hospital of Santa Susagna. We continué with an approarch to the known structures, trying to clarify the difference between the words laconicum and concamerata sudatio. The work is completed with an attempt of reconstruction of the spa and with the conclusions in wich its importance is shown

    La ciutat de Barcelona conserva al seu subsòl un important nombre de refugis antiaeris construïts com a conseqüència de la Guerra Civil espanyola. Arran de l’increment de les intervencions arqueològiques preventives, aquests darrers anys, des del Museu d’Història de Barcelona (MUHBA), s’han anat documentant alguns d’aquests refugis a diversos indrets de la ciutat. La intenció d’aquest article és realitzar un estat de la qüestió sobre els refugis documentats fins ara, així com explicar la metodologia emprada per al seu tractament com a patrimoni arqueològic. A més, des d’una òptica científica, es valoraran les característiques dels refugis antiaeris documentats per a configurar una tipologia i caracterització de les similituds existents. L’anàlisi cronològica, d’altra banda, aportarà una diferenciació funcional dels refugis construïts durant l’època republicana amb la seva posterior utilització i cobriment durant el franquisme, i els pròpiament bastits durant el règim franquista.The city of Barcelona contains in its subsoil a significant number of air-raid shelters built as a result of the Spanish Civil War. From the increase in archaeological preventive interventions, in recent years, from the Museu d’Història de la Ciutat, have been documenting some shelters at various locations in the city. The intention of this article is to make a statement on the issue of the shelters documented until now, as well as explain the methodology used for treatment as archaeological heritage. Moreover, from a scientific view, to evaluate characteristics of the documentation about antiaircraft shelters, looking for a configuration about the typology and characterization of the similarities. The chronological analysis, on the other hand, will make a functional differentiation of the shelters built during the republican period with its use and subsequent coverage during the Franco regime, and properly made during the Franco regime

    Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli tutkia HTML5-tekniikan soveltuvuutta ja mahdollisuuksia pelien kehittämiseen Yleisradion lasten ja nuorten Internet-palveluiden tarpeiden näkökulmasta. Sen tarkoituksena oli kehittää ominaisuuksiltaan monipuolinen HTML5-peli joka painottaa luovaa ongelmanratkaisua ja käyttäjien tekemää sisältöä. Työ on tutkimusotteeltaan konstruktiivinen ja sen aineistoa kerättiin havainnoinnin, tekstianalyysin, keskustelujen ja käyttäjätestauksen keinoin. HTML5 valikoitui pelissä käytettäväksi tekniikaksi sen laajan tuettavuuden ja helpon jakelun ansoista. Sama sovellus toimii kaikilla laitteilla, joille on saatavilla moderni web-selain. Monet käyttäjät välttävät ylimääräisiä sovellusasennuksia haittaohjelmien pelossa. Käyttäjän kynnys tutustua ilmaiseen HTML5:llä toteutettuun sovellukseen on pieni, sillä sen kokeileminen edellyttää vain linkin klikkaamista, eikä erillisiä asennuksia tarvita. Opinnäytetyön tulos on Kätköksi nimetty peli ja sen toiminnallisuudet mahdollistava pelimoottori. Pelimoottori toteutettiin itse, jotta vältyttäisiin kompromisseilta pelin toiminnallisuuksissa ja mahdollistettaisiin sen hyödyntäminen myös toisissa ympäristöissä. Peli julkaistiin marraskuussa 2014 osana Yleisradion kouluikäisille lapsille suunnattua Galaxi tuotantoa. Peli on tällä hetkellä sivuston selkeästi suosituin sisältö.Object of the thesis is to research the possibilities of the HTML5-technology for the needs of the Finnish Broadcasting Company’s (Yle) office of internet-services for children and the young. Purpose is to develop a robust and rich HTML5 game which empathizes creative problem solving and user generated content. Thesis utilizes constructive research method and its material is collected by observing, text-analysis, conversations and user-testing. One of the biggest strengths of HTML5 applications is their multi-platform nature. The same application works on desktop- and mobile-devices. Many users avoid installing small software in fear of malware. HTML5 applications require no installations and are therefore easy and safe to run. The outcome of the thesis is a HTML5-game called Kätkö (a hiding place) and the game-engine made for it. The game-engine was made from scratch to avoid compromises in its features. Kätkö was released as part of Yle’s production during the fall 2014 and it is at the moment the most popular content of the web-site

    No full text
    Barcelona has both a long history and a very rich cultural heritage, and urban archaeology activity in the city has thus always been very intense. In order to manage this archaeological heritage and to ensure quality information for further research, a GIStool, CASTALIA, is being developed. The purpose of this archaeological map is to generate information about the archaeological heritage of the city, with a view to producing a document essentially oriented on the analysis, diagnosis and evaluation of stratigraphic deposits of the subsoil and built heritage, in relation to urban management of the city. The project includes comprehensive documentation and research on diagnosis. It assesses the archaeological potential of the site; more than just a management tool, it is a means of reflecting on the city

L'any 1972 s'iniciaren els treballs sistemátics d'excavació del jaciment, els quals continúen fins avui ininterrompudament

    Following Roman waterways from a computer’s screen. GIS-based approaches to the analysis of Barcino’s aqueducts

    From the 1950’s until today the Roman colony of Barcino (modern Barcelona) has been believed to posses two aqueducts. One was transporting water from the Montcada mountains and the other one from the Collserola range. In this article, GIS-based least-cost route analysis (LCR) in combination with more traditional archaeological techniques is applied to analyse these aqueduct’s routes. The results obtained suggest Barcino had only one aqueduct: the one carrying water from Montcada. The aqueduct was divided in two channels before entering the city, thus giving origin to the theories suggesting the existence of two aqueducts. LCR analysis has also been useful in determinin the medieval transformation of this aqueduct into the Rec Comtal water channel

    Amb aquest article ens plantegem realitzar una síntesi de l’estat de la recerca sobre el sistema de captació i distribució d’aigües de la ciutat romana de Barcino. Hem recollit les dades que ens proporcionen tres tipus de fonts molt diverses: documents, restes arqueològiques i restes epigràfiques. S’ha fet la descripció i ubicació dels nous descobriments de diversos trams de l’aqüeducte. S’han actualitzat les hipòtesis sobre les captacions d’aigües, el recorregut dels aqüeductes i la distribució de les aigües dins de la ciutat, alhora que s’ha situat el castellum aquae a l’àrea del fòrum, proper al temple, i s’ha determinat la presència d’un segon dipòsit redistribuidor a la plaça de Sant Just. A part de les noves dades arqueològiques, hem fet servir material planimètric inèdit i anàlisis en entorns SIG 3D.Con este artículo nos planteamos realizar una síntesis del estado de la investigación sobre el sistema de captación y distribución de aguas de la ciudad romana de Barcino. Hemos recogido los datos que nos proporcionan tres tipos de Fuentes muy diversas: documentos, restos arqueológicos y restos epigráficos. Se ha efectuado la descripción y ubicación de los Nuevos descubrimientos de diversos tramos del acueducto. Se han actualizado las hipótesis sobre las captaciones de aguas, el recorrido de los acueductos y la distribución de las aguas dentro de la ciudad, al tiempo que se ha situado el castellum aquae en el área del fórum, próximo al templo, y se ha determinado la presencia de un segundo depósito redistribuidor en la plaza Sant Just. Aparte de los Nuevos datos arqueológicos, hemos empleado material planimétrico inédito y anàlisis en entornos SIG 3D.In this article, we set out to summarise the current state of research on the system for collecting and distributing water in the Roman city of Barcino. We have collected data from three very different sources: documents, archaeological remains and epigraphic remains. The article describes and establishes the location of the various newly discovered stretches of the aqueduct. Hypotheses on wàter collection, the course of the aqueducts and the distribution of water in the city have been reconsidered. It has been determined that the location of the castellum aquae was in the area of the forum, close to the temple, and that there was a second distribution cistern in Plaça Sant Just. In addition to the new archaeological data, we have employed unpublished planimètric material and analysis in 3D GIS environments

    Reconsidering the water system of Roman Barcino (Barcelona) from supply to discharge

    This paper presents the results of the ‘Roman Barcino Water Network’ Project. This study employed a series of methodologies aiming at joining and interpreting all data available on water supply, distribution, management, use and discharge in the Roman colony of Barcino (modern Barcelona). Analyses of the results substantially modified previous knowledge of Barcino’s water organization and provided one of the few examples in which the whole water system of a Roman city has been tackled. We concluded that the water supply employed a single aqueduct, which divided before entering the city and not two of them as it was previously assumed. Barcino’s water distribution system was designed according to the different uses of water and was conditioned by the city’s particular topography. The results also stress the colony’s ample water availability, which despite its small size, allowed the maintenance of multiple public and private baths as befitted an accommodated population of merchants and administrators

    En el marc d’aquest congrés sobre construcció i arquitectura a Tàrraco presentem un estat de la qüestió sobre alguns aspectes entorn de l’arquitectura i l’urbanisme a la Ibèria septentrional. La recerca duta a terme per diferents investigadors i equips en els darrers anys ha permès un millor coneixement de la societat ibèrica de l’àrea septentrional, i en general mostra que aquesta era més complexa del que tradicionalment s’havia considerat. El coneixement actual dels assentaments mostra un sistema de poblament altament jerarquitzat i organitzat amb diferents nivells; igualment, la recerca sobre l’ús de l’espai a l’interior dels assentaments, tant pel que fa a l’arquitectura domèstica com a les construccions de caràcter públic, reforcen aquesta idea de complexitat social que es consolida durant el període ibèric ple i que caracteritza l’aparició dels estats arcaics ibèrics.In the framework of this Conference about construction and architecture in Tarraco we intend to show the state of the art about several aspects concerning the protohistoric architecture and urbanism in northern Iberia (present Catalonia). The research carried on by different researchers in the last years has improved our knowledge about the Iberian society in the northen area of this culture. In a general way, the results of this research hint that this society is more complex than it was traditionally thought. The available information about the settlements suggests that population was organised in a highly hierarchical system, where different levels are distinguished. Moreover, the research about the use of space inside the settlements, both about domestic architecture and public buildings, reinforces this idea of social complexity, which will be consolidated during the classical Iberian period and characterises the appearance of the Iberian archaic states
