Abstract

El Tajin was an ancient metropolis in which rituals such as the Mesoamerican ball game were carried out, later to be recorded in the sculptural bas-reliefs of its architecture. The study of its morphologies is the recognition of the ways in which an ancient civilization is expressed, thus contributing to the characterization of a culture whose past belongs to World Heritage. This paper proposes a case-sample analysis of the bas-reliefs in the South Ballcourt based on reticular geometry and fractal dimension analysis. It was found that the geometry of the RA (golden rectangle), RR 2 and RR 3 are prevalent, in addition to the identification of iconographic naturalist and symbolic elements; from the box-counting fractal dimension, it was found that the elements, though of different sizes or composition, show similar complexities, with a value of around 1.7.

塔金的形式建筑雕塑特征研究

塔金(El Tajin)是一座古老的大都市，在那里举行了中美洲球类比赛等仪式，后来被记录在其建筑的雕刻浅浮雕上。对其形态的研究是对古代文明表达方式的认识，从而有助于对其历史属于世界遗产的文化进行表征。本文提出了基于网格几何和分形维数分析的南球场浅浮雕的实例分析方法。研究发现，除了图像自然主义和符号元素的识别外，黄金矩形(RA)， RR 2和RR 3的几何形状也很普遍;从盒计数分形维数中发现，虽然元素的大小或组成不同，但复杂性相似，其值约为1.7。

期刊介绍： Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage is an international peer reviewed journal which continues Quaderni di Scienza della Conservazione. Main topics of publication: • Study of the system: artifact-environment-biota • Historical-artistic knowledge of cultural heritage (i.e. author, art movement, period of realization, techniques, society and cultural characteristics, socio-economic context, commissioning, financing, interested public) • History, diagnosis, restoration, maintenance, conservation, valorization, prevention • Document research • Book, codex, and manuscript production in its historical context • Appropriate methodologies and analytical techniques used for the characterization of historical artifacts and evaluation of the conservation state • Environmental monitoring: assessment of atmospheric pollution and correlated degradation of monuments and historical-artistic sites • Micro and macroclimatic monitoring in confined areas (i.e. museums, libraries, archives, churches, galleries…) • Art diagnostics and evaluation of the authentication of art works • Art market and auction houses • Experiences in cultural heritage conservation • Evaluation of the suitability of products for restoration, conservation, and maintenance of works of art • Information science and cultural heritage: data processing and cataloguing methods • Virtual re-elaboration and use of historical artifacts and environments • Study, valorization and digitalization of archive and library heritage • Environmental context and technical-conservative issues related to historic architecture • Virtual or traditional conservation, cataloguing and processing of photographs • Various other topics including education, safeguard, education, legislation, economics, social aspects, management, marketing, interdisciplinarity, internationalization, etc.
