Introducción: En sus inicios la mayoría de los aparatos funcionales fueron removibles, pero cada día más se incrementan los fijos. Su combinación puede incrementar la efectividad en el tratamiento del retrognatimo mandibular. Objetivo: Presentar los resultados del tratamiento con el botón de Nance modificado en una paciente con retrognatismo mandibular. Caso clínico: Paciente femenina de 13 años de edad, que presenta perfil convexo, disfunción neuromuscular, dentición permanente en ambos maxilares con presencia de ligero apiñamiento anterior, relación molar bilateral de distoclusión de ½ unidad, resalte y sobrepase incisivos de 6 mm, mala relación intermaxilar causada por retrognatismo de la mandíbula y escaso remanente de crecimiento mandibular activo. La primera etapa del tratamiento, incluyó psicoterapia, mioterapia y avance mandibular con un aparato funcional fijo (botón de Nance modificado para la propulsión mandibular). A los nueve meses de iniciar el tratamiento se comprobó el cambio en las relaciones intermaxilares en sentido antero-posterior, con disminución del ángulo ANB hasta 20 e incremento del SNB a 78, como reflejo de una buena relación de las bases ósea por crecimiento mandibular. Conclusiones: El tratamiento realizado a la paciente con el botón de Nance modificado para la propulsión mandibular, permitió la obtención de relaciones intermaxilares favorables.

This study takes a preliminary approach to the distribution of the archaeological materials found in the excavation of an area of the Andalusian occupation located outside the walls of the hisn of Cerro del Castillo (Capilla, Badajoz). This work analyses the representation of the different types of objects in relation to the spatial contexts in which they were recovered, as well as the functional profiles that their techno-typological and morphological analyses reveal.

El objetivo del artículo es actualizar y acotar los argumentos de la metodología de Rehabilitación Integral del Patrimonio (RIP) para las ciudades de madera. La construcción en la ecorregión del bosque templado costero dependía de la madera nativa, lo que aun caracteriza al sur de Chile, como es el caso de la ciudad de Valdivia. No obstante, el tejido urbano de la ciudad se ve afectado por la vulnerabilidad ante los riesgos naturales y las prácticas neoliberales del mercado. Los reglamentos e instrumentos para la restauración de la arquitectura impiden la RIP debido a que se centran principalmente en las ciencias sociales, sin incorporar los aspectos técnicos arquitectónicos fundamentales ni una comprensión más amplia del contexto. A través del análisis de un conjunto de edificaciones históricas restauradas con fondos públicos, la relación entre las ciencias sociales, la ingeniería, la arquitectura y las teorías de uso público y del paisaje se hace evidente. Es necesario contar con un escenario de prácticas eficaces para asegurar una prolongación de la vida útil de estas edificaciones en relación a la gestión del patrimonio cultural. Se identificaron ocho puntos clave que conectan la historia con las condiciones materiales, que en este momento están ausentes en el servicio público chileno. Para que los procesos de restauración sean integrales, las evaluaciones deben incluir nuevas dimensiones, como la relación económica y la gestión material o tangible, así como la integración con la identidad arquitectónica original inmediata y la facilidad para asociarla culturalmente. De la armonización de estos ocho puntos con el marco normativo del patrimonio, se espera un mejoramiento de la rehabilitación integral de los edificios patrimoniales en el sur de Chile, la priorización de la conservación de su madera y la contribución pública.

We present the result of the study of the numismatic materials guarded in the funds of the Consorcio de la Ciudad Monumental, Histórico-Artística y Arqueológica de Mérida, found in emiral archaeological context (92-300/711-912) in Mérida´s municipal area. We relate these pieces to their archaeological and historical context, analyse data on their type and quantity, the presence or absence of Roman and Visigothic pieces, and unusual uses for coins. Finally, we compare this data with the numismatic record of contemporary sites such as Tolmo de Minateda (Albacete), Vega Baja (Toledo) or Šaqunda (Córdoba), important settlements in Iberian Peninsula in the 8th-9th centuries. The final objective is to glimpse the use, in different spaces, of the numismatic material that have been found in these archaeological strata, as well as a monetary pattern that relates the type of control of the territory and the settlement of population during the Umayyad conquest of al-Andalus.

We present in this paper a series of ceramic pieces documented during the archaeological actions developed in a large sector of the western suburbs of Madīnat Qurtuba (Córdoba), outstanding for the unusual infrequency of the motifs that decorate them. It is a group of vessels with figurative decorations, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic, which allow us to evaluate the characteristics, qualities, and formal and technical qualities of the totality of the documented ceramic trousseau.

The Castalla Castle Heritage Site Social Regeneration Project was carried out between 2009 and 2017 (Alicante, Spain). One of its fundamental lines of work was the study of unknown archaeological materials, such as those of fauna, malacofauna, timber and charcoal with the aim of continuing to rebuild the palaeoenvironment of the castle between the 11th and 15th centuries.  The 432 taxons studied come from the Andalusian (11th century-1244) and Christian (14th and 15th centuries) levels documented in 1998 and 1999. Three taxons correspond to the marine malacofauna –one valve of Glycymeris sp. and two specimens of Charonia lampas–. The rest –Iberus gualtierianus alonensis, Otala punctata, Cornu aspersum, Sphincterochila candidissima, Theba pisana, Pseudotachea splendida and Cernuella virgata– are terrestrial gastropods. These species have a certain size and are edible. Therefore, it seems that they were collected for food purposes. 

The present paper gives a renewed approach to the urban physiognomy of madīnat Lawša (Loja, Granada) as an “average city” of the Nazari Kingdom. Taking into account at the archival, archaeological, cadastral and planimetric resources, the article reaffirms, qualifies and shows unpublished conclusions about how the medieval defensive system of the city was, as well as its community facilities systems.

The Irulegi castle, located at the top of Mountain Irulegi or Peña de Lakidain (Aranguren, Valley), is one of the most outstanding examples of medieval castles within the Kingdom of Navarre. The castle was built for defensive purposes and to control the surrounding territory between the 11th and early 12th centuries, adn it was occupied unineterruptedly until the end of the 15th century. The materials presented in this article constitute a varied repertoire that includes typical elements of daily life related to food, farmig, crafts, warfare, and the use of leisure time, as well as material evidence of other activities such as religious activities and ostentation. This paper presents an overview of all of them to define the main features of the remains of the movable elements of this fortified settlement and their significance for the study of everyday life and medieval society from the reality of the materiality of a fortress.

As a frontier zone between the two main empires of Early Medieval Mediterranean (Byzantium and Islam), the vast insular territory of Sicily was the object, for over two and a half centuries (827-1091), of the convergence and clash of competing social and economic systems, which inevitably redefined its historical landscape and the history of its material culture. The aim here is to present the first insights from a multidisciplinary archaeological analysis of a crucial area in south-eastern Sicily, located along important road axes and passages from the fertile plains of central Sicily to the Iblei mountains, from which the accesses to Syracuse, capital of the Byzantine thema, are controlled. This case-study has the main objective of showing the potential of a sociological approach to the historical-landscape investigation of these territories, deeply affected by the constant updating of territorial hierarchies, structures and modes of production and consumption of artefacts, which in the course of these centuries reformulated the complex historical habitus in this frontier social world: By enhancing these aspects and investigating them through the reconstruction of the social life of artefacts - production, circulation, consumption, reuse and waste - it is indeed possible to focus attention on the changing landscape and production references that individuals had in occupying this border area.

The aim of this study is the chronological and functional revision of the milling complex of the San Blas stream, next to the archaeological site of Carranque (Toledo, Spain), with whose most prolific period it has been related (3rd-4th centuries AD). Its analysis was approached as a non-invasive action, in an exercise of methodological adaptation. It combines the tools of architectural archaeology (stratigraphy, typology and chronotypology) with the analysis of the landscape (geology, orography and altimetry). The basic principle of gravity, inherent to any historical hydraulic system, is also a determining element in the study. The results obtained in this new approach, plural but systematic, allow us to distinguish at least two major and different grain milling systems in the whole. It is also possible to defend its diachronic construction, in a technological and constructive environment very different from the one traditionally defended for these structures, not in the late Roman period, but between the late medieval and modern centuries.
