Petrifying Wealth Project Dataset Core [DATASET]

Description

The project petrifying Wealth explores the constructive phenomenon in the middle ages (S. XI-XIII). After five years, the project database has been fed with all the cases of preserved buildings that have been documented for Spain (mainly religious and its northern half), and a case study of Italy, such as the town of Tivoli (Rome). The data served in open form constitute the fundamental core of the database, and we believe they can become a very useful set for the development of future research on the same subject or related to medieval peninsular constructions. Three tables relating to the building and its component parts are published: Architectural Complex (14): 1. ID_CA: Unique building identifier. 2. Architectural Complex: name of the building. 3. Id_location: unique identifier of the population nucleus closest to the building. 4. Location: Population nucleus 5. Municipal term: Administrative division, identifiable with NUTS-4 (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts/background). Termino Municipal (Spain), Communes (France), Commune (Italy), Municipalities (Portugal) 6. Province: Administrative division, identifiable by NUT-3 (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts/background). Province (Spain), Department (France), Province (Italy), Groups of Municipalities (Portugal) 7. Geographical area: Geographical division developed by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture (https://www.mapa.gob.es/en/cartografia-y-sig/ide/descargas/agriculture/). 8. Scope: description of the location of the building. 9. Typology: general typology of the building depending on who has done it. Since the project deals exclusively with construction in the Christian kingdoms, the buildings have been classified into lay and ecclesiastical. 10. SubtypeCA: Specific typology of each building, generated from the general typology. Ecclesiastics: Cult Building, Monastery, Hospital, Palace, House; Lay people: Fortification, House, Palace 11. Interpretative date: For preserved buildings, date of the oldest material remains; for unpreserved buildings, date of oldest documentary mention. They are classified in intervals of 50 or 100 years, between the year 700 and 1300 12. Latitude: geographical dimension. 13. Length: geographical dimension. 14. Approximate Location: maintenance of the building: preserved (for which at least it must have a constructive rest that is clear evidence of the existence of the building at the time of the study), disappeared (without evidence of the building, or later building that has completely replaced the case study building). Remains of little entity are not taken into consideration, which could be related to recycling of other buildings, such as baptismal piles, canecillos, capitals, columns, etc ... Factory Corps (7): 1. ID_CF: Unique Factory Corps Identifier. 2. ID_CA: Unique building identifier (foreign key). 3. Factory Body: Factory Corps Name. 4. Type CF: Typology of the Factory Body. More information: Data Management Plan (https://digital.csic.es/handle/10261/239862) 5. Missing: Maintenance of the Factory Corps (1=disappeared). 6. Reliability grade: Level of analysis performed on the Factory Corps. 7. Construction Material: Constructive material with which the building was made, mainly stone, brick or both. Functional Unit (5): 1. ID_UF: Unique identifier of the Functional Unit. 2. ID_CF: Unique identifier of the Factory Corps (foreign key). 3. Functional Unit: Name of the Functional Unit. 4. Typology: Typology of the Functional Unit. Only a few functional units are systematically collected: Swords, Cimborrios, Porticos. 5. Interpretation: Interpretation of the typology of the Functional Unit. https://www.petrifyingwealth.eu/Database/
