“…Si exceptuamos los trabajos más puramente ligados a su estudio histórico o arqueológico basados en las fuentes documentales o campañas específicas sobre el terreno, las metodologías científicas aplicadas al análisis de torres del reino nazarí de Granada están vinculadas habitualmente a su catalogación e inventariado (Martín García, Bleda Portero & Martín Civantos, 1999), estudios morfológicos (Esquivel, Mustafa & Esquivel, 2019) o de períodos y técnicas constructivas (Malpica Cuello, 2001).…”

The heritage of military architecture brings together many fields; it’s been called an “inexhaustible source of research and perspectives” for architects, engineers, archaeologists, historians, and operators in the field of cultural heritage. The subject of knowledge and valorization of fortification works presupposes a multidisciplinary approach aimed at recognizing the different values found in the constructions. Only recently has there been an awareness of the importance of this heritage, which is in constant danger; such attention has helped in defining a series of international strategies “for the protection, conservation, interpretation and preservation of fortifications and military heritage” (ICOMOS Guidelines on fortifications and military heritage, 2021). FORTMED 2023 moves within this rich cultural context in the belief that the dissemination of data is the essential tool for sharing knowledge. The international conference Fortifications of the Mediterranean Coast, FORTMED 2023, opens its sixth edition in Pisa. The conference, organized by the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Energia, dei Sistemi, del Territorio e delle Costruzioni (DESTeC) of the University of Pisa, in collaboration and with the contribution of the Municipality of San Giuliano Terme, will be held on March 23, 24, and 25, 2023, at the Centro Congressi Le Benedettine.

“…This method consists of a set of geometrical and statistical algorithms focused on generating a typology of multivariate objects that allows to obtain the structure of data classified into groups of objects with the members in each group being as similar as possible to each other and the members of different groups as dissimilar as possible to each other. From a statistical point of view, the classification can be formulated as a problem of optimization with multiple objectives in which a configuration of appropriate parameters must be chosen including the distance function to be used, the clustering algorithm, the number of clusters, and so on (Esquivel et al, 2019). There are diverse cluster models and different agglomeration algorithms.…”

Statistical analysis on metric and geometric features of dolmens in the Gor river megalithic landscape (Granada, Andalusia, Spain)

The construction of dolmens took place in Europe from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age (fifth millennium BC-second millennium BC) and had a rapid development along the Atlantic façade, with an important focus in Andalusia. Within this area, the megalithic necropolises located in the banks of the Gor River (Granada, Andalusia, Spain) are studied. In this paper, multivariate techniques are applied to characterize the dolmens associated with the Gor river megalithic landscape by means of two analyses. First, a new classification of the dolmens in necropolises using their location variables produces an optimal number of 8 necropolis instead of the traditional 11. In addition, this classification improves the traditional spatial division of the dolmens because there is no overlapping between necropolises. Secondly, a multivariate analysis of the dimensional variables, which aims to detect possible constructional patterns, is performed obtaining three main variables of grouping. The first two, length and width of the chamber, can be summarized as the area of the chamber and, in terms of this, the dolmens can be classified into two main groups. The third one, the length of the corridor, can be considered as a factor for intragroup discrimination.
