This article focuses on Catalonia, where local glass production is documented as early as the 13th century, but little is known about the production of window glass. This study analyses a collection of stained glass fragments from Girona Cathedral, dating from the 13th to the 16th century, some of which is the work of renowned master glassmakers. The data obtained is compared with contemporary stained glass documented from other parts of Europe, and with a collection of 15th and 16th century archaeological window glass from Barcelona. The data is also contrasted with historical documentation on glass production in Catalonia. The findings reveal that the glass from Girona from the 13th and 14th centuries is of the potassium-lime type, similar to that produced in the workshops of north-western France. By the late 14th and 15th centuries, the composition aligns more closely with that of north-eastern France. In the 16th century, however, the glass changes to a soda-lime composition, similar to the glass found in Barcelona, suggesting a transition from central European to Mediterranean sources, and indicates a change in the raw materials involving the use of soda-lime plant ash instead of potassium-lime forest ash. These results indicate that the production of window glass shifted from France to Barcelona at the close of the 15th century.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Heritage","volume":"74 ","pages":"Pages 99-105"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144253310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate one of the key issues in plaster restoration, that is, whether the plaster can effectively adhere to different substrates, seven plaster compositions were prepared and applied to three types of substrates modeled after actual wall painting substrates. The radial shrinkage of different plasters during drying was measured, and the adhesion strength between the plasters and substrates was tested using a designed shear device after curing. The surface roughness of the different substrates was quantified using a three-dimensional scanner and correlated with shear strength. The adhesion properties were analyzed based on the microstructures of the different plasters. The results showed that the shrinkage of the plaster depended on its material composition and was almost independent of the type of substrate used. The addition of vegetal fibers to earthen plaster can effectively improve interfacial adhesion.

Unsuitable humidity conditions contribute to their deterioration, underscoring the need to understand humidity variations in complex environments.

We systematically examined the factors driving high humidity in cave environments, the impacts of multiple environmental parameters on humidity fluctuations, and proposed humidity management strategies tailored for the rock temples.

This paper proposes an analytical framework to evaluate the integration of cultural heritage within climate policy discourses, tested through a case study of twenty Norwegian national climate policy documents. Applying transformative approaches to climate governance, this study emphasizes cultural heritage management’s role in supporting systemic change. The framework identifies two primary shifts in policy discourse driven by cultural heritage paradigms: (1) integration across three stages—from visions and actions to monitoring—and (2) expanded sectoral collaboration, opening pathways for transformative governmental coordination. Findings reveal an evolution in cultural heritage’s role, from initial concerns about conservation conflicts due to climate impacts to recognizing cultural heritage as a sector requiring knowledge-building in adaptation strategies. The analysis further suggests an expanded view of cultural heritage’s contribution to the quality of life through shared sociocultural values, highlighting opportunities to extend its role from technical advisor to a strategic, relational actor within governance networks. By examining the case of Norway, this study concretizes entry points for cultural heritage’s potential as a catalyst for cross-sectoral collaboration, adaptive governance, and inclusive decision-making, setting a foundation for exploring local-level integration and interdisciplinary collaboration in sustainability governance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Heritage","volume":"74 ","pages":"Pages 35-47"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
