A survey has been carried out on these buildings to record the different types of joints used in their construction. These joints have been grouped, by type, to provide a chronology, informed by scientific dating methods. Once the chrono-typologies have been produced and cross- referenced with Hewett’s Essex data, the effects, if any, of the Black Death (1348-50) on carpentry techniques and technologies will be analysed.</p> <p>The project utilises digital technologies to collect, collate, manage, query and ultimately disseminate data relevant to the study of timber joints. Such technologies include:<br> •       Geographic Information Systems (GIS)<br> •       Global Positioning Systems (GPS)<br> •       Database Management Systems (DBMS)<br> •       3D modelling</p> <p>The 3D modelling provides a means to explore how joints interact with each other, whilst also forming a visual database. This database can be disseminated through various mobile devices, supplying researchers with a real-time, portable, dating aid, for comparison in the field. The creation of the visual database also allows us to question how to represent a generic "3D joint", through various 2D devices, to researchers that are not familiar with computer visualisations and the "clean world" which they portray.<br> The combination of GPS and GIS enable the data to be analysed spatially to understand how the buildings work within a landscape context.<br> This then permits the answering of the question "building on fear" by applying theory to the science. Are the houses being built to protect the occupier from war, famine and plague or are they just projecting status and society?</p> <p><b>About TAG</b></p> <div class="content"><img src="http://www.medievalarchitecture.net/blog/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" mce_src="http://www.medievalarchitecture.net/blog/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" class="mceWPmore mceItemNoResize" title="More..."></div> <div class="content"> <div class="content"> <p>The Theoretical Archaeology Group (TAG) was founded as a national body in 1979 with the aim of promoting debate and discussion of issues in theoretical archaeology.

An extension to the popular open-source web browser Firefox, Zotero includes the best parts of older reference manager software (like EndNote)—the ability to store author, title, and publication fields and to export that information as formatted references—and the best parts of modern software and web applications (like iTunes and del.icio.us), such as the ability to interact, tag, and search in advanced ways. Zotero integrates tightly with online resources; it can sense when users are viewing a book, article, or other object on the web, and—on many major research and library sites—find and automatically save the full reference information for the item in the correct fields. Since it lives in the web browser, it can effortlessly transmit information to, and receive information from, other web services and applications; since it runs on one’s personal computer, it can also communicate with software running there (such as Microsoft Word). And it can be used offline as well (e.g., on a plane, in an archive without WiFi).</p> <p><a href="http://www.zotero.org">www.zotero.org</a></p> </div> Main Page Richard Haddlesey Graduate Junction http://medievalarchitecture.blogware.com/blog/_archives/2008/5/23/3707677.html http://medievalarchitecture.blogware.com/blog/_archives/2008/5/23/3707677.html Fri, 23 May 2008 17:01:11 +0100 <a href="http://www.graduatejunction.com/">Graduate junction</a> is a great new place for graduates to promote and share their research with other graduates.
