“…According to the most recent finds in France, Roman barrels contained between 1,000-1,200l of water (Mille and Rollet 2020); three would have sufficed for this particular building project. While barrels per se are not necessarily a useful way of measuring water transport and storage in the Roman world, it is a first step that prompts further questions.…”

Los hormigones romanos son una de las áreas de la construcción en la Antigüedad que han atraído más atención. Muchos estudios se han dedicado a las propiedades técnicas y químicas de este hormigón y a la economía de la industria de la construcción romana. En estos estudios, siempre se señala el papel del agua como importante y se indica que se consumía en grandes cantidades. Y aunque se han realizado cálculos para determinar las cantidades de horas de trabajo, de cal, piedra, madera y otros materiales, no ha habido estudios semejantes para calcular los volúmenes de agua necesarios. En este artículo, propongo una serie de ratios -derivadas de las fuentes escritas, recomendaciones modernas y análisis científicos, contrastadas con resultados experimentales- con las cuales llegar a una aproximación a los volúmenes de agua necesarios en las construcciones en mortero romanas. Esto será una útil estimación para futuros estudios sobre las practicidades y las economías de la construcción en mortero en la Antigüedad.

“…The same applies for wooden barrels, used as containers for various trading goods and frequently re-used in well linings or latrines at their final destinations in Roman and post-Roman settlements (Ulbert, 1959;van Es, 1972;Greig, 1981;Clerici, 1983;Marličre, 2002;Falk, 2003;Hagendorn and Bouchet, 2003;Bauer, 2009;Robben, 2009;Čufar et al, 2019;Mille and Rollet, 2020). Barrels are elaborately crafted objects that reveal detailed information about the precise wood technology and manufacturing as well as trade systems (Marličre, 2002;Tamerl, 2010).…”

Dendroarchaeology in Europe

Human evolution was strongly related to environmental factors. Woodlands and their products played a key role in the production of tools and weapons, and provided unique resources for constructions and fuel. Therefore wooden finds are essential in gaining insights into climatic and land use changes but also societal development during the Holocene. Dendroarchaeological investigations, based on tree rings, wood anatomy and techno-morphological characteristics are of great importance for a better understanding of past chronological processes as well as human-environment-interactions. Here we present an overview of the sources, methods, and concepts of this interdisciplinary field of dendroarchaeology focusing on Europe, where several tree-ring chronologies span most of the Holocene. We describe research examples from different periods of human history and discuss the current state of field. The long settlement history in Europe provides a myriad of wooden archeological samples not only for dating but also offer exciting new findings at the interface of natural and social sciences and the humanities.

“…Storing wine in wood casks for prolonged periods facilitated aromatic compounds present in the wood to diffuse into the wine, enhancing taste and smell [24,25]. Wood casks, used in France for over 2000 years, commonly oak [26], were sealed with pine resin. Resin is the waxy substance beneath the bark [27].…”

From ancient times to the present day, gout has been associated in the popular and scientific literature with wealthy men who overindulge in fancy foods, fine wine, and debauchery. Curiously, amongst diseases, gout was thought to be good, a malady to be accepted because of otherwise beneficial effects on health, and longevity. This narrative review critically examines the history of these associations and explores in detail the pathogenic factors contributing to development of gout prior to the 20th century. While lead toxicity has been previously implicated with wine, the specific association of gout and fine wine can be attributed to lead complexes in products such as sapa, a grape extract used to sweeten wine, in addition to lead nanoparticles leached from crystal glassware and lead glazed dinner plates. The health benefits of gout can be attributed to lead complexes in fine wine and lead nanoparticles from glazed dinnerware. These compounds have excellent antibacterial properties, thereby inhibiting the presence of pathogenic bacteria in foodstuffs. Probing the association of gout and fine wine provides a very well documented example of how the pathogenesis of disease becomes better understood with the passage of time and continuing, persistent scientific enquiry.
