After some years restraining congressional dynamics to use, as the Andalusian Archaeological Science, subjected to sleep of the righteous among us, the symposium "The palaces as an expression of power: the Andalusian and survival models" in Onda (Castellón), 29 April to May 1, leads almost inevitably to paraphrase is the work of Juan Goytisolo, 1986.

The conference organized by the Laboratory for Archaeology and Architecture of the City (LAAC) to Granada (CSIC) and the town of Onda, speaks of a thriving array of researchers and has a large cut of guests, many of them linked for decades to land Sharq al-Andalus from the old Valencia, among which we have been providing chair in the stalls. Even begins to miss the wise regarding our past Arab Pierre Guichard.

Take, therefore, rest in the position of an item of 'fashion' as is' Taifa Palace of the Alcazaba Wave "(sic). Although we know that the words and semantics are loaded by the devil, no shadow of doubt can be entertained for an historic hisn Wave in the centuries of al-Andalus, as already quoted in the itineraries of al-Udri (1003-1085). This rural site would only have a moment of expansion almost bordering on the urban, during the last century before the conquest by Jaume I of Aragon. Such a scenario is demonstrated in the work of the eighties of last century archaeologists Bazzana André, whose encyclopedic Maisons d'Al-Andalus: habitat médiévale et Structures du peuplement dans l'Espagne orientale (1992), but attributed consideration of small regional center, all under the tutelage of the only authentic urban madina de la Plana, Borriana. It is also significant in its default state of the "Ten Years of Medieval Archaeology Valencia", which the illustrious Rafael Azuar presented in Jornades Valenciana d'Arqueologia L'Alfas del Pi, 1994.

is precisely the embers of a recent visit to one of us to this "Castell de les Tres Torres-cents' with the kind of company for 25 years who have been excavated, although subject to the vicissitudes of public subsidies, the overall strength and especially the castle stronghold of Muslim peasants, who invites us into his problematic architectural props impeccable, but occurrence, the end of the day. There, the remains exhumed atop a glimpse, beyond the issue of consolidated masonry, which is a particularly interesting archaeological site, while providing a starting point to address a range of issues related to the activities of those old rustic settlements that in the twilight of power in our lands Andalusian, show persistent symptoms of urban life, though other "waypoints" GPS would not be less suitable for this.

In what some see as unprecedented residential courtly Taifa, the Islamic Unda, we actually seem to recognize a group of fortifications in no case would place their morphology prior to the last throes of the eleventh century. In the stimulant plant enclosure fortress previous models should not be sought inspiration in remote deserts or in distant lands, which rose as the Umayyad palaces Mshatta (Jordan), even should outweigh the fact reliable country construction materials, textures and rigging of a typical rectangular room changing, with paintings and round towers that reinforce the corners and line the curtains with the rhythm Murari occurs in many other strengths Andalus.

A clever plot, a factories and textures that appear to be so far from the Aljafería Zaragoza palace complex and place great power of the dynasty of the Hudi, like so near the site of Almiserat (Vall de Gallinera, Pego), with impressions of possible origin Caliphate . The relative antiquity of the trace of some of the walls seems attested by the remains unearthed during archaeological painstaking process. In contrast, the formulation of the enclosure wall of the citadel, stuffed full of turrets, an argument should not become unavoidable in order to draw parallels with reputable fencing palate.

Inside the Wave qasba, the manor belonged dominant to a period in our position and accidental visitor on the basis of our own knowledge of Islamic houses of this time in the cities of Denia, Alzira and Valencia, as the noble de l'Almoina or Busianos Marquis Square , somewhere between the last third of the twelfth century and the first XIII. Onda was made clear in the remains of something that would define as a mansion of arcaded courtyard with perimeter dock, cruise and pool in one of its sides, which uses all available space in the upper enclosure. A house, a big house indeed, with solutions similar to those found in some enclaves of the "madina Balansiya" as above, o en la terraza superior de la medina de Xàtiva, en el Bellveret.

Por consiguiente, en tanto la deseable publicación científica no disipe toda duda con argumentos de mayor enjundia que los genéricos del estilo de lo «más antiguo» y/o «más grande», nuestra visura sobre Unda es la de un pródigo hisn, con un proceso de fortificación en unas fechas ajenas al fulgor de las primeras taifas (circa 1.100 A.D.). Un siglo más tarde, el espacio de la acrópolis sería ocupado por una emblemática edificación, sin duda vinculada a un destacado gobernante como, por qué no, el propio Zayyan ibn Mardanish , señor This castle. A relict area, topographically excellent, within which built a transparent noble house. With ornate bedrooms and apartments, though lacking any ornament of witness sunset, beyond the ocher stucco and wide porches and where the subsequent abandonment contexts, suggest no major proposals for reconstruction before the Conquest feudal, and in our opinion even palatal necessarily authorize dilapidated dreams.

Wikileaks Wikileaks & ARCHAEOLOGY

In the previous post we used WikiLeaks of referring figuratively to the diplomatic and national issues that have to do with archeology and heritage.

We

curiosity has been aroused and the certainty that had to be authentic cables relating to these issues we have encountered the wonderful blog Digging Digitally that has a full entry to WikiLeaks & Archaeology of December 8, 2010. These cables discovered without undue surprise, the "financing" of war Iraq thanks to some of the looting of Iraqi heritage. Or the juicy cable in which a conversation between the ambassador of the USA, and the then English Culture Minister Cesar Antonio Molina, the first tried to relate the judicial processes of the English galleon "Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes" and the company "Odyssey Marine Explorations " the treasure "Black Swan " carrying before his shipwreck and attempts to recover Pissarro painting by an American citizen.

Emphasizing the previous post, can be applied point by point all the points mentioned in it: missing piece of sovereignty of a country, Peru as a third country at stake, (see Treasury cause dispute between Peru and Spain used ), along with a U.S. company and the English state.

THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE STONE

Back JP

Payot book

Ricardo González Villaescusa

The October 17, 2010 were unaware of the book La Guerre Ruines des which we now publish a review.

Jean-Pierre Payot, La guerre des ruines. Géopolitique et Archéologie, Paris, Choiseul, 2010, 518 pages.

The author plunges us through a variety of well documented examples in the intricacies of the relationship between archeology and its corollary (the ruins, the remains, objects ...) and the territory in support of national identity.

construction is the story of a territory, a nation, from the ground a stratigraphic reconstruction of identities registered in the territories. Archaeology is the link between history, past and patrimonial, or whatever it is, that same past erected a symbol of the collective memory of a people, a nation that, through a political act, considered the remains worthy of preservation for future generations. It is the factory of the "historical right." The book is an account of the instrumentalization of a science which, as noted by P. Bourdieu for social sciences in general, is too important, are too pressing for social life and the symbolic order, to grant the same degree of autonomy to other sciences or to grant a monopoly on the production of truth [1] .

Memory and archeology

If space [2] , like the nation, are social constructs, no less so is the past. Forgetfulness and memory, front and back of the same coin, are the epicenter of these buildings. They are taking advantage of the prestige of the past. But while the written sources of history, support these buildings, ruins, materiality, which offer the ruins and archeology as a method of choice for their interpretation, proposed evidence "unassailable" well rooted in the earth. P. Ricoeur reminds us that "the relationship between phenomenological significance of the image-memory and materiality of the trace (...) [the mark] has value as a sign: to think the track have to think at a time as this effect as sign of its absent cause [3] . That is the gain of material evidence in relation to written sources.

Nation-building and territorial integrity

Vercingetorix That

rooting archaeological remains attached to a major advantage in the social construction of space that we talked about: the challenge is to prove the primacy of the occupation of space, says the author. The excavation and debris provide a corpus of evidence to a "historical right" about space.

Hermannsdenkmal

From the first chapters the author shows that from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, archeology at the birth of the nation and the territory the genesis of a space Sovereign validated by archeology. An ideological framework, nationalism, backed by a "science" at a time when the reigning positivism. Since the battle of Alesia and Vercingetorix with the statue of Gallic chief (1866 to Napoleon III) to France, passing by the giant statue of Arminius - Hermannsdenkmal - (completed in 1875 with funding from the Germany of Bismarck) and variana clades, to the statue of Boduognat in Antwerp (1861 with the first king of the Belgians, Leopold I), and the recent discovery of the treasure of Ambiorix, king of the Eburones " [4] in Beringen, Don Pelayo and Spain ... The list is endless.

Boduognat in Antwerp

In this cultural environment, archeology, "the most national of all sciences" and one of the professions has contributed to moonlight in intelligence, crystallized into a stream in the converging ethnicity, territory and culture archaeological theses Kossin Gustaf (1858-1931). The concept of a mosaic of cultures (Kultur-Gruppe ) and Siedlungsarchäologie , the embryo what we now call space archeology , combining space, territory and artifacts. Although today these theories are far from explicit practices of archaeologists, at least in politically correct term, the instrumentation of the archaeological work that is the book finds its inspiration in this theoretical background.

Ambiorix Statue in Tongeren

Well, as evidenced by JP Payot do not get all the actors rewarded archaeological interest territorial disputes those who base their arguments on the archeology? "Native Americans and the American extreme right in the discovery of Kennewick Man in Washington? "Archaeologists and the Russian Federation of Russian ultra-nationalism hand around the city of Arkaim south of the Urals and north of the border of Kazakhstan? "The Turkish government erasing the past and Christian orthodox land of Cyprus? "The Greeks claiming the Elgin Marbles? Is the Indo-Muslim around Ayodhya Hindu temple and the mosque? The return to Ethiopia Akxum obelisk brought to Rome by Mussolini ...?

Statue of Pelayo in Covadonga

Chapter L'archéologie du divin deploys a range of examples of the connection between religion and geopolitics. Archaeology of Israel in the service of the primacy of the Jewish presence in Palestine, which is nothing else than the question of control of the territory and its legitimacy. On the other hand, the Palestinian authority, the same recourse to archeology as an argument when we read that Y. Arafat replied that the excavations made are not allowed to defend the evidence of the great city of Jerusalem from biblical and in time of King David would only be a village. He continues to conflicts around the excavations at the al-Aqsa mosque in 2007 and attempts of Judaizing Jerusalem, and other examples, which should add that of found Herod's tomb by archaeologist Ehud Netzer at the heart of the occupied territories [5] .

The missing pieces of sovereignty

unclaimed objects are converted to JP Payot in the missing pieces of the sovereignty exercised over a territory. The best known example is that of the Parthenon frieze, but the author tells us also that of the obelisk Akxum , the treasure of Troy (in Turkey, Germany and Russia at stake), among others. These are usually objects stolen during the colonial period and, after decolonization, new countries are trying to "fill in the missing pieces of the panoply symbolic sovereignty sovereignty (...) a material that affects its strength and identity its mark territorial, symbolic control of an area "(p. 71). As the author asserts, concerned states may not waive that claim remains but the rejection of the old neocolonial powers reveals a position on its former colonies. Is it not proof that different relations China's new attitude regarding the stolen objects in the imperial summer palace and his new position on the board of global geopolitics?

And in France?

In the last chapter the author discusses a topic that does not get round as above. It's probably early to address a subject delicate and recently as the geopolitical challenges of preventive archeology, which deserves investigation and publication themselves. However, the author announces suggestive explanations. On the origin of archeology in France and liberal option will prevail the right to private property, the late introduction of an on archaeological activities, only from the existence of a strong regime like that of Vichy and the consequent Carcopino law ...

But even incomplete and tenuous, what seems most interesting are the five pages devoted to preventive archeology today. The author locates the archeology that represents most of the archaeological digs in France, the trial, the challenges of geopolitics since the territory is immersed in a power struggle on land use, including developers, private or public , and archaeologists who attempt to return to form "local memory intelligible" to society. There is therefore a legitimate claim to the various actors to act on the territory, making our science, "science sensitive." As mentioned, the author just goes into the problems of archeology and national soil today but someday will be stopped in detail on this hot topic.

In short, this is a book that has the merit of placing value on an issue which, although known in specialist circles, is formalized and enriched with plenty of detail (at times excessive and that sometimes contribute little to the central thesis.) It should be noted that under the same label enjeu Géopolitique "geopolitical goal" the author includes all the examples and it would be advisable to have nested geopolitical objectives such as not all represent the same political consequences and the same approach by of the different actors involved. Moreover, there is sometimes confusion between the concepts, because although archeology, ruins, excavations, artefacts, monuments and heritage are sometimes equivalent, not always.

If, as A. Micaud [6] , wealth does not exist if, and only a political decision from collegial bodies with decision-making, select which deserves to be protected and what deserves to be preserved for future generations. Beside the ruins highlighted by the decision, the same power can not forget other interested "Patrimonializar" because of the significance of these in the territory. Moreover, the "dumping" of history, the mass graves of the carnage of the recent wars in need of methods and techniques of archeology is not always a problem issues of territorial sovereignty or even heritage, but with a "memory" as the French or the "recovery of memory" as we say in our country. In contrast, the excavation of the graves of arbitrary executions have little to do with territorial issues but seek to end the confusion of the sovereignty of a nation state and sovereignty a democratic people. As stated by M. Cuillerai [7] , the relationship between historicism and nationalism "and not allow re-establishing an identity from the national history."

In short, a book that opens a new research topic.

ON ARCHAEOLOGY WE ARE ALL NAKED

The previous

reproduced a news article in the Journal of Cordoba the Professor of Archaeology at the University of Cordoba, Desiderio Vaquero. There is a widespread custom in our blog news articles without play more but we believe it is an excellent opportunity to publicize a book by Professor Andrea Ricci the Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata of which we are preparing an edition in Castilian and joins some of the ideas expressed in the text of Professor Vaquero.

The book presents the difficult relationship between archeology, city, archaeologists, urban, society, identity, and all that, none other than ... Rome! We present here a translation of the summary of cover and the index and will soon submit a review. In front of the basket, Interdipartimentale per lo Center Studio delle Trasformazioni Territory, Professor Ricci has made it possible to get out of Roman Archaeology forums, Fuori dai Fori to the suburbs of Rome today and ancient Rome transcending the archaeological monuments and contemplative for propose a participatory archeology in close relation to the social fabric.

Andreina Ricci, Attorno alla pietra nuda. Archeologia e città identità e progetto work, interventi Donzelli, Rome, 2006. 159 pages (167 x 112 mm). On the bare stone. Archaeology and between identity and city project.

Ruins, places, identity, using Rome as a reference, this essay contains a dense network of controversial ideas about public use of urban archaeological remains. Decoding traditional claims, investigates the links between cultural and collective identity in the current metropolitan area. It calls into question not only the work of the archaeologist but also of all those concerned with urban archaeological heritage. It is proposed not just finding the balance between heritage protection research and the needs of urban transformation, but also and above all, new proposals to encourage the active participation of citizens in understanding their past and their own territory in the construction of collective identity, increasingly diverse and differentiated.

Córdoba Journal, March 25, 2011

Archaeology would be nothing without the society that creates and sustains. Those of us engaged in this profession have the ultimate goal to recreate the events (also, thought, attitude toward life and death) of those who preceded us in time, or, what is, to make history. As everyone knows, we focus on the remnants of the past: ruins, foundations, "tejoletes" and organic wastes, which are the files of the soil. One category of sources that pass garbage historical document from the time they are recovered through a scientific method and subjected to exegesis by well-trained minds to it, able to see beyond the obvious and generate knowledge. Any place where there has been evidence that human activity keeps well read and interpreted, are sufficient to reconstruct the events site and those who lived there. But it does not stop there. Often, those documents or materials take monumental artistic category and require a particular type of treatment designed to preserve, value and monetize them as a potential resource, cultural and economic. Thus, the Archaeology happens to be another way to recreate the story to transcend its own conceptual and management need to own that become a source of pride, a hallmark and source of employment. Nothing more and nothing less.

This problem reaches its zenith in cities like Cordoba, with a complexity as a site that I have been bringing in other items on which further reflect on the future. No one escapes the boom of archeology in the last thirty years (especially in its urban dimension), and the crisis that affects since the housing bubble burst, given the strong marriage between them. Nothing will ever be what has been, and largely the responsibility is ours (I mean the authorities with relevant competence, the professional group of archaeologists, and society as a whole), not to have known what was expected occur, blinded by the rush of day to day and the money, nor address the whole spectrum of possibilities that allows and requires discipline, from the point of view of interpretation, management and its reversion to society. Something from the research group I lead, in the framework of its cooperation agreement with the Municipal Planning, have been addressed in the measure that allowed the timing and strength, but now becomes a matter of urgency and will become priority over the next years. With this we seek to transfer to society the knowledge accumulated over nearly two decades of work, convinced that only if the public sees and understands what archeology is learn to respect, care for and defend. Also, show that there are other ways of addressing the past, as a common heritage can generate sustainable employment and enrich the heritage and tourism in the city, while multiplying its attractions and its projection in the world. According to this philosophy, we have consolidated the work was already underway in a new project: "Archaeology is all of us, we will keep active until society Cordoba request, and that in an absolutely voluntary on the part of those who integrate, discussed during the next few years to bring the latest findings of our archeology at Cordoba on the street, going to their own neighborhoods. This visit to the Civic Center, those who take exhibitions, lectures, speeches, and guided tours, archeology will approach the street by an exhibition to be held in the Grand Boulevard Captain in the first half of June, and call attention to the need to know where we walk through conference venues spread over many, walking or cycling along our archaeological heritage visible and invisible (I mean preserved in many buildings and basements), and the implementation of arqueódromos (in the Civic Center and Botanical Garden ) that children may attend five to ten years to test for themselves the emotion of making history. This is a lively and open project, which can add anyone who is interested (more on ARQUEOCORDOBA ) and start almost from scratch, but with the invaluable support of some institutions, associations and companies that Cordoba immediately have understood their need and potential, truly infinite. I warmly thank them all for allowing a pipe dream into reality.

Let me conclude by inviting them to participate in the bet. The future of Cordoba is possible, and it will have much to say his past. We owe it to our young people who are our uncertain, but hopeful present.

A NEW ARTICLE ON THE PLANNING OF VALENCIA

are pleased to present a new article on the urban history of the city of Valencia. The study has just appeared in the journal Mitteilungen Madrider the German Archaeological Institute and is the planning of neighborhoods and Boatella Velluters. Is aligned in its theories and methodology used in the published ten years ago by one of us in the same journal.

The article is the outcome of a research paper presented by Claire Pichard as the memory of Master in Paris I La Sorbonne , supervised by J. Burnouf, and G. Chouquer and, locally, R. González Villaescusa. Had the cooperation of the local institution of SIAM and the collaboration of Lerma JV

offer a summary in the original language of the article (French) and its translation into English and the article on the Barrio del Carmen.

Abstract

Three major phases of urbanization have traditionally distinguished in the history of the city of Valencia. These are associated with three planners often presented as competing and contrary to their principles and their application. As part of the neighborhood and Boatel Velluters , located at the gates of the wall and then integrated Islamic Christian to the wall, l’approche morphologique du processus d’urbanisation permet d’une part d’appréhender de manière originale les modalités de la colonisation chrétienne d’un espace modelé durant cinq siècles par les musulmanes, et d’autre part de mettre en évidence des éléments qui permettent de réévaluer le clivage ville/campagne dans la fabrique de l’urbain. Cette étude revient sur des réflexions ayant trait à la part des planifications et au caractère impensé de la construction des villes.

Summary

Traditionally there are three phases of the planning of the city of Valencia. Are associated with three kinds of planning, often presented as competing and opposed in principle and application. In the context of neighborhoods and Boatella Velluters , outside the gates of the Islamic wall and subsequently integrated within the walls of the Christian wall, the morphological approach allows to understand urbanization in original form by First, the methods of Christian colonization of an area modeling for five centuries by the Muslims; and, second, to highlight elements that can reassess the caesura between city and countryside in the urban fabric. This study focuses on issues of planning and trying to define the character "unthought" of cities.
