Various non-invasive techniques were used in this study such as: AutoCAD program, multispectral imaging with Ultraviolet and Infrared Rays, optical microscope, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The structure of the cartonnage was unique and consisted of three distinctive layers, from the bottom to the top; a double layer from linen, a calcite-based plaster layer, and finally a polychrome paint layer. The study of the paint layer revealed the presence of blue, red, white, yellow, orange, brown and black pigments. Yellow color was identified as orpiment (As2S3) and yellow ochre (goethite α-FeO.OH + clay minerals) and blue as Egyptian blue (CaCuSi4O10). Two red shades were also detected of which the lighter is red lead (Pb3O4) and the darker is a mixture hematite (α-Fe2O3), red lead (Pb₃O₄) and calcite (CaCO3). Orange was identified as a mixture of orpiment (As2S3) and red lead (Pb3O4), white as white lead (PbCO3)2•Pb(OH)2,and black as magnetite (Fe3O4). The brown pigment, made up of red hematite, red lead, and black manganese, was detected for the first time in the pigment palette of ancient Egyptian cartonnage. The binding medium in linen layer was identified as Arabic gum. The study showed that cartonnage dated back to the Graeco-Roman Period because of the appearance of red lead, orpiment, and Egyptian blue. Moreover, the presence of lead in the components of Egyptian blue is considered evidence that ovens contain lead resulting in changing the manufacturing techniques of Egyptian blue.","PeriodicalId":401395,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Archaeology & Anthropological Sciences","volume":"19 70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123425990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to investigate the role of indigo dye in preventing, reducing or inhibiting the deterioration of ancient Egyptian linen textiles. In this study linen textiles were experimentally dyed by indigo dye. Undyed and dyed linen were artificially aged by light, heat, soil and fungi. The change in the physical and chemical properties of the undyed and indigo-dyed linen textiles after being artificially aged were determined by various methods such as tensile strength and elongation, the crystallinity index (CrI) by using X-ray diffraction, the surface morphology by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and spectrophotometric measurements of the colour were calculated. The results confirm that indigo dye inhibits and reduces the deterioration of linen textiles. These results confirm that indigo dyed linen textiles are more durable than undyed ones. They may explain why archaeologists discover dyed linen textiles in better condition than undyed ones. Also, they explain why the Museums in Egypt have dyed linen textiles in better quality than undyed ones.","PeriodicalId":401395,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Archaeology & Anthropological Sciences","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127827015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, the article seeks to find an urban design solution to attract people to the inner parts of the cities. The primary purpose of this study is to enhance public events in the historic zone of Tehran's Citadel by using ICT. In spite of the potentials of the heritage areas in empowering social interactions and nightlife entertainments, many of the historic urban spaces have now fallen into disrepair and decrepitude. The importance of this research is in recreating the morphological, economic, social and historical aspects of vast and sensitive areas in Tehran and other similar cities. Therefore, by studying the evolution of urban fabrics in three historical periods, the physical, social, and historic-cultural features of these periods have been studied and assessed through 3D modeling and fabrication. Volumetric envelopes of historic monuments, some of which are now destroyed, are to be made and virtually displayed in the original location of the buildings by using lighting techniques. The result of this paper indicates that in addition to its instrumental role of digital documentation production, ICT may enhance historical urban sites and aid people in three main place aspects including the functional aspect (enhancing safety, nightlife, and social interaction), the perceptual aspect (enhancing the identity of the place) and the physical aspect (redesigning urban places).","PeriodicalId":401395,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Archaeology & Anthropological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127808314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this cosmology, the relationship of men with the Holy ghost is crucial. Human beings are not defined by their “basic needs”, as they are with western cosmology and anthropology in the interpretation of Marshall Sahlins,1 but by their reciprocal relationship with the Holy ghost. It is only to the extent that they move away from this relationship that they can then be exposed to needs, hunger, sickness, shortage. The Holy ghost thus performs a fundamental mediating role: he is the mediator between heaven and earth, between the soul and the body, between God and men, soul and body, hunger and taste, containment and excess, shortage and bounty. In this cosmology the category “work” has a pervasive role. It appears simultaneously as an economic category and as a moral and religious one. It is through intense and disciplined work that shortage becomes bounty, where honor is maintained, and grace is granted. It is through this intermediary that the individual and collective self-consciousness is formed, and a balanced relationship is achieved between the soul and the body, between the supra-mundane and the mundane.","PeriodicalId":401395,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Archaeology & Anthropological Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134244815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Voynich Manuscript has been called \"The World's Most Mysterious Manuscript\" and \"The Book Nobody Can Read.” Sections of the manuscript appear to deal with strange plants and flowers, naked women lounging in pools of water, celestial bodies such as stars, the moon and the Sun, and kitchen spices and herbs. This research shows that the strange Voynich symbols code for Arabic. An equivalency table between Arabic letters and the Voynich characters is developed, and large sections of the Voynich text are translated, including pages picturing flowers, stars, spices and women. A 600-word dictionary of Arabic-Voynich-English was developed. Translation reveals that the text deals exclusively with the Cathars, a religious heresy prominent in the south of France in the 12th – 13th centuries. A hypothesis is developed that the patron funding production of the Voynich Manuscript may have been Alfonso V, king of Aragon/Catalonia and, King of Naples.","PeriodicalId":401395,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Archaeology & Anthropological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131263858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
