This research applies the new Coimbra method for therecording of enthesal changes (EC) on a Dutch urban population. The sample consists of 66 individuals buried between 1450 and 1573, at the Franciscan monastery in Alkmaar, the Netherlands. The people buried here were part of the “common” people of Alkmaar.This sample consists of individuals of which the age and sex were estimated, and with no observable pathologies which could affect the enthesal sites. In addition to activity, age and sex could influence EC. It was tried to limit this influence by comparing the individuals in groups of sex and age in some of the tests, therefore limiting the influence of other factors on EC rather than activity. Ten fibrocartilaginous entheseal sites were scored on both upper limbs. After scoring the EC of all individuals, the data was statistically analysed using the program IBM SPSS (Version 23). As expected males, in general, scored higher than females and older individuals generally scored higher than younger individuals. At the subscapularis and the brachioradialis, females scored higher than the males, which could indicate women strained these muscles more than males. The males had a significantly higher EC score at three muscle attachment sites. In addition, there were differences between the sexes in ranks of mean EC scores, and the correlation of certain muscles. These factors do point to a general division of labour between the sexes. When focusing on differences between the age groups, EC in males showed more correlation with age than EC with age in the female population. Six of eight outliers, when looking at the mean EC scores, showed signs of osteoarthrosis, which is seen as an activity related pathology. This, together with the increased EC score indicates that these individuals most likely showed increased activity in comparison with the rest of the population. Lastly, the data presented here was compared with other research. This proved to be difficult, regarding the use of samples from different geographical areas, and time periods, different scoring methods and differences in scored entheseal sites. This shows the necessity for using a standardized scoring method for EC research. This could provide the opportunity to compare more data, generating more knowledge on EC research. This could make EC research into a viable method for osteological research, and providing archaeologist with a tool to reconstruct past activities.

Il Castello di Milano è un’opera medievale voluta dai Visconti e potenziata dagli Sforza. Oggi è sede di biblioteche, musei e raccolte d’arte, ma rimane una formidabile “macchina da combattimento”, dove hanno lavorato tra i migliori architetti e ingegneri italiani. I soli studi d’epoca medievale riguardanti la Fortezza, a oggi noti, sono di Leonardo da Vinci, il quale ne ha esaminato le difese, comprensive delle parti sotterranee, prospettando i miglioramenti. Trent’anni d’indagini speleologiche condotte innanzitutto nei suoi sotterranei hanno permesso di eseguire le planimetrie dell’articolato sistema, composto anche di canali d’acqua segreti, mettendole a confronto con i disegni leonardeschi. Si è così compreso che una parte della Fortezza non è stata demolita, ma solo “cimata”: oggi nel sottosuolo esiste un patrimonio archeologico, architettonico e artistico inestimabile, ma da recuperare integralmente. Il lavoro presenta un metodo d’indagine multidisciplinare che può essere facilmente applicato allo studio di ogni altra fortificazione europea.
The castle of Milan is a medieval work commissioned by the Visconti and developed by the Sforza. Today it is intended for cultural functions but its origins are those of a formidable "combat machine". Some of the best Italian architects and engineers worked on the creation of the castle. The only studies known about the fortress, belonging to the medieval age, are by Leonardo da Vinci. He examined the defences, including the underground parts, looking for improvements. Thirty years of speleological investigations, first of all conducted in its basements, and also concerning secret water channels, have allowed us to carry out the plans of the complex system and to compare them with Leonardo's drawings. This has made it clear to the author that a part of the Fortress has not been demolished, but only "cut" in the surface. Today there is an invaluable archaeological, architectural and artistic heritage to be fully recovered. The work presents a method of multidisciplinary investigation that can be applied to the study of any other European fortification.

Entre los meses de marzo y junio de 2017 se descubrió y excavó de urgencia en el marco de una actuación de arqueología urbana una pequeña parte del yacimiento bajomedieval del Durdur, ubicado junto al río Tarafa, en el casco antiguo de Aspe (Alicante).
La actuación exhumó parte de una vivienda de grandes dimensiones abierta a un patio, con varias estancias originalmente levantadas con muros de tapial y mampostería; adosado a este espacio doméstico se pudo documentar la presencia de un alfar mudéjar con dos hornos de parrilla, y junto a ellos varios pequeños hornillos dispuestos en batería que pudieron destinarse a la elaboración de pigmentos metálicos.
El amplio y variado repertorio de material cerámico que ha proporcionado el yacimiento apunta a un contexto cronológico tardomedieval que se iniciaría en el segundo tercio del siglo XV y se prolongaría hasta finales del siglo XVI o principios del XVII, cuando tras la expulsión de los moriscos el lugar quedaría despoblado.
La presencia junto a los hornos de balsas para la decantación de arcilla, atifles, sellos, placas para el transporte de piezas o restos de fritas, confirma la existencia de un centro productor de obra aspra, cerámica vidriada y loza decorada en una comarca y un periodo para los que no existen alfares localizados hasta el momento.

A small part of the Durdur late medieval site, which was located next to the Tarafa river in the old town of Aspe (Alicante), was discovered and excavated as part of an urban archaeology project from March to June in 2017.
Part of a large house, which was open to a courtyard, with several rooms originally built with rammed earth and masonry walls, was exhumed during the excavation. The existence of a Mudejar pottery workshop with two kilns could be documented as being attached to this domestic space, and next to them there were several perpendicularly disposed small kilns, which could have been used for making metallic pigments.
The wide and varied collection of pottery found during the archaeological excavation of the site dated back to a late medieval chronological context that began in the second third of the 15th century and lasted until the end of the 16th or early 17th centuries, when the place would have been depopulated after the expulsion of the Moriscos.
The presence of pools for the decantation of clay, tripods, seals, plates for the transport of pieces, or remains of frits next to the kilns, confirms the existence of a workshop where obra aspra pottery, glaze earthenware and majolica were produced in this specific region in a period of time during which pottery workshops had not been discovered until this moment.

"Los trabajos de seguimiento arqueológico y paleontológico, asociados al proyecto de implantación de nuevos ascensores en la estación de Metro de Ópera en Madrid, pusieron de manifiesto en el año 2009 la presencia de restos del antiguo entramado urbano de la desaparecida Plazuela de los Caños del Peral.
El proceso de configuración que daría lugar a la actual Plaza de Isabel II se inicia a mediados del siglo XVI con el traslado de la corte a Madrid en tiempos de Felipe II. De este modo comienza la ordenación y adecuación del entorno del Alcázar.
Las investigaciones arqueológicas realizadas han dado como resultado la documentación de un tramo de acueducto del Viaje de Agua de Amaniel, cuya finalidad era la de proporcionar agua potable a las dependencias del Alcázar; parte del recorrido de la Alcantarilla del Arenal, galería subterránea que canalizaba las aguas del arroyo homónimo; y la antigua Fuente de los Caños del
Peral, cuya fachada monumental de sillares almohadillados muestra el estilo renacentista imperante en nuestro país a finales del siglo XVI y principios del XVII.
La colmatación del barranco del Arenal y la ejecución de sucesivos proyectos de reforma del entramado urbano elevaron el nivel de la plaza de forma artificial hasta alcanzar la cota actual, favoreciendo la conservación de estos elementos.
La importancia histórica de los hallazgos y la voluntad de reservarlos en su localización original, ha impulsado un ambicioso proyecto museográfico integrado en la propia estación de Ópera. Al tratarse de hallazgos sobrevenidos a las obras, Metro de Madrid ha destinado un área expositiva en el lugar en el que fueron realizados los descubrimientos arqueológicos.
Los restos monumentales, ahora visitables, han tenido que ser extraídos de su ubicación original, en un desmontaje controlado, a
fin de adecuar el espacio para su musealización. Una vez instalados de nuevo, han sido sometidos a una exhaustiva limpieza, restauración y consolidación.
El proyecto de musealización ha valorado en primer lugar las condiciones de exhibición de los elementos inmuebles, convirtiéndolos en protagonistas absolutos del espacio, al mostrarlos como si de esculturas monumentales se tratase. Para su mejor comprensión, el discurso expositivo se complementa con distintos recursos: paneles explicativos y la retroproyección de audiovisuales dirigidos a públicos de diferentes edades.
Con instalación museográfica de estos restos arqueológicos, Metro de Madrid en colaboración con la Dirección General de Patrimonio Histórico de la Comunidad de Madrid, pretenden acercar y dar a conocer los importantes restos descubiertos de la que fue Plazuela de los Caños del Peral a los ciudadanos."
