Cadmium selenide tellurium is a compound containing cadmium, tellurium and selenium elements forming a combined solid. Hall measurements suggest that it is an n-type semiconductor. Related optical studies indicate that is transparent to infra-red radiation. Structural studies clearly show that it has a wurtzite, sphalerite crystalline forms. Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal, and selenium is only toxic in large amounts or doses. By this toxicity, cadmium selenide is a known to be carcinogen to humans; however, this does not stop investigating it for optoelectronic applications. Current research has narrowed down to investigating cadmium selenide when in the form of nanoparticles. Cadmium selenide finds applications has found applications in opto-electronic devices like laser diodes, biomedical imaging, nano-sensing, high-efficiency solar cells and thin-film transistors. By chemical bath deposition, Cd1Se0.6Te0.4 thin films were grown onto glass. Tellurium was gradually introduced as an impurity and its crystalline structure and optical properties were investigated by XRD and UV-VIS spectroscopy. The main Cd1Se0.6Te0.4/glass characteristics were correlated with the conditions of growing and post-growth treatment and it was found out that films were homogeneous films with controllable thickness onto the glass substrate and suitable for n-type “sandwich” heterostructures applications. Comparison of the intensities of equivalent reflexions provided a test for the internal consistency of the measurements. Equivalent reflexions in two specimens differed on average by 1.4 % and 0.6% from the mean measured intensity, attesting to the high internal consistency of measurements from extended-face crystals. By comparison from data obtained from all samples showed their average deviation from the mean to be 0.9 %.

The paper presents 89 selected glass fragments found during the four seasons of excavation in Pelusium, in and around the theater. They represent mostly tableware and lamps dated from the 1st century to the 7th, but most of the material is from the 5th century or earlier. It parallels the finds from the Egyptian Mediterranean coast, and shows close affinities to the glass of Syria-Palestine

Many years of excavation works in the gord in Międzyrzecz have resulted in discovering the remains of three small glass workshops from the second half of the 10th century, the second half of the 11th century and the 13th century. The scarce and typically scattered sources have made it possible to identify the workshops’ nature and, to a very limited extent, the products manufactured there. The discovery included pieces of large and small crucibles, waste from the preliminary stage of glass melting. Most probably, low-alkaline potassium glass was produced there

This study is based on archaeological sources: a group of cesspits from houses along the north and west sides of the 3rd courtyard of the Prague Castle. A combination of historical plans, written and archaeological sources makes it possible to date all of the studied cesspits with a high degree of accuracy. The find assemblages are to be dated to different decades of the second half of the 15th and the first half of the 18th century. Analyses of the cesspits indicate a differentiated social milieu. Church dignitaries created lavish assemblages. Individual luxury items appeared in the milieu which we associate with the imperial court and several of its officials. Also represented is a cesspit from a common environment (owned by a blacksmith). Whether the higher proportional representation of pans, bowls, and bottles indicates the operation of an inn in Vikářská Street, we do not know.

The paper presents an overview of metal and glass small finds found during the final season of the Yurta‑Stroyno Archaeological Project in 2016. The basic data of the collection are presented here, as well as a preliminary classification and interpretation of the selected finds. The most frequent metal from the site is iron – featuring mainly elements of construction and different types of fittings. During the final season, parts of iron knives, a saw and metal or wood working tools such as a punch or an awl were found. A rare find is a miniature bronze axe head shaped pendant. The majority of the glass finds are body fragments of free‑blown vessels. The best represented shapes are cups, beakers, wide bowls and flasks. The group of glass beads features two main types: hexagonal and flat round beads. Several new fragments of raw glass and glass production waste were found during the field survey to supplement the previous‑year’s findings.

A macroscopic analysis of the bead and pendant assemblage from Berenike (excavated in seasons 2009–2012) provides not only a preliminary bead typology and chronology, but contributes to the study of the multicultural character of the Red Sea port of Berenike from the Ptolemaic through the early Byzantine period. The presence of diverse marine and terrestrial organics, semiprecious stones and manmade materials used in crafting beads indicates a substantial supply from coastal and inland desert dwellers, as well as from overland and overseas traders. Part of the products found at Berenike must have been designated for permanent and temporary residents of the town. Other objects originated from, or were destined for African, Arabian or Asian markets.

In the gord in Kruszwica, on the settlement level from the 4th quarter of the 11th century, a piece of a large bead was discovered. It was made of black and purple glass, decorated with a set glass thread and small buttons with the (floral) millefiori ornament. It was made of glass, the “ash” variety of the Na2O-K2O-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 type (the grains) and the Na2O-K2O-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-PbO-SiO2 type (the ornament). An interpretation of the results of an analysis of the chemical content of the glass (XRF, X-Ray Fluorescence) has allowed to define the probable place of the glass production, as well as the form and type of this rare specimen, namely the Middle East (probably Byzantine) workshops.

The set of objects of glassy materials under examination counted close to 1300 pieces. Graves from the Bronze Age contained about 20 beads, those from Ha C more than 1250 beads and 2 heads of bronze pins. The older pieces are homogeneous from a formal point of view, that is, they are plain, made of a clearly translucent turquoise glass. The younger objects were manufactured either of weakly translucent blue and/or opaque yellow glass. Physicochemical analyses have demonstrated that the clearly translucent turquoise glasses constituted “true” Low Magnesium, High Potassium Glass (LMHK) that was typical of the European Bronze Age. The weakly translucent blue material represented so-called glassy faience (Low Magnesium, Medium Potassium Glass [LMMK] and Low Magnesium Glass of Glassy Faience [LMGGF] were identified in it) and objects made of it were spread through the territories of modern Poland in the Ha C (and in the beginning of Ha D). The yellow opaque glass can be assigned to “true” Low Magnesium Glass (LMG), widespread in Europe in the Early Iron Age and later.

Lectures held at the Symposium organized on the 22nd of May 2015 at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw and the discussion afterwards show the great importance of trade routes: Silk Road, Dnieper Road, Volga Road and the Transcontinental Road for the development of glass production and the exchange of glass wares in Central and Eastern Europe during the Early Middle Ages. The Symposium could only signalize these issues and draw the attention to the need of research on the topic.

16th-century Venetian decorative arts from, due to their precious materials, technological craftsmanship, and high artistic level, were an export commodity all over Europe. With regard to several groups of Venetian artistic craftsmanship (glass, majolica, enameled copper or silk fabrics), we can consider the issue of color values that influenced the perception of these luxurious goods. Venetian dye sellers-vendicolori-had ingredients in their stores that were used by craftsmen such as ceramic painters, glass painters and fabric dyers. Red and its various shades, cobalt, and yellow were the colors that dominated the products of Venetian artistic craftsmanship of that period.

Weneckie wyroby rzemiosła artystycznego z XVI wieku ze względu na drogocenne materiały, kunszt technologiczny, a także wysoki poziom artystyczny były towarem eksportowym na całą Europę. Odnoście do kilku grup weneckiego rzemiosła artystycznego (szkła, majoliki, miedzianych wyrobów zdobionych emalią czy tkanin jedwabnych) można rozpatrywać zagadnienie walorów kolorystycznych, które wpływały na odbiór tych luksusowych dóbr. Weneccy sprzedawcy barwników – vendicolori – posiadali w swoich sklepach składniki, których używali rzemieślnicy tacy jak: malarze ceramicy, malarze na szkle oraz farbiarze tkanin. W wyrobach weneckiego rzemiosła artystycznego tego okresu dominowały takie barwy jak: czerwień i jej różne odcienie, kobalt oraz żółć.

The random find of a small piece of gold fitting in the cadastral territory of Kounice, district of Nymburk, is so far one of the few artefacts of Eastern provenance produced with the so-called cloisonné technique in Bohemia. Thanks to the use of archaeometric methods a whole range of remarkable information was found – the utilised stones are garnets from the Central Bohemian Uplands; the manufacturing technique of this jewel is at a relatively low level and it shows perhaps also signs of repairing; the purity of used gold is also relatively low. In terms of style, this object corresponds to production from Black Sea Lowland, but with regard to manufacturing quality it reminds rather Pannonian workshops from about the 2nd third of the 5th century. In the Bohemian region this is an extraordinary find. Nevertheless, according to discovery circumstances, it is possible to think that it represents an accidentally lost piece in the roads between the quite densely populated areas of Prague eastern edge (on the west side) and the drainage basin of the Výrovka river (on the east side).

Szkło, wykorzystywane do produkcji przedmiotów, jest jednym z najdelikatniejszych materiałów, który bardzo mocno reaguje na zmianę temperatury i wilgotność. W procesie wydobywania obiektu z gleby i przenoszenia go do niecodziennego otoczenia często może nastąpić gwałtowne zniszczenie znalezisk archeologicznych: zmiana koloru, struktury i kształtu. Szkło odkrywane w czasie badań archeologicznych jest materiałem nietrwałym. Przedmioty szklane, zwłaszcza z okresu średniowiecza, które mają znaczną ilość domieszek, są podatne na zniszczenia. Jeśli proces wypłukiwania jest bardzo zaawansowany i spowodowany korozją, wówczas znalezisko archeologiczne może w ciągu kilku minut zmienić się w pył. Badania wykopaliskowe przeprowadzone w 2018 roku na terenie Narodowego Rezerwatu „Sofia Kijowska” dostarczyły wyroby szklane datowane na XI–XX wiek: kostki starorosyjskiej mozaiki, ułamki smalty, średniowieczne szkło okienne, naczynia apteczne, ułamki szklanej biżuterii i fragmenty naczyń kuchennych (ryc. 2–7). Spośród wszystkich znalezisk konserwacji należało poddać fragmenty silnie skorodowanych starorosyjskich naczyń cienkościennych oraz dwie kostki mozaikowe w kolorze błękitnym, które zostały zniszczone na skutek zdeponowania w środowisku zasadowym. Zabytki te zostały oczyszczone z powierzchniowego zanieczyszczenia za pomocą miękkiej szczotki oraz utrwalone przy użyciu 3–15% roztworu Раraloid B-72 w acetonie. Tę samą metodę konserwacji zastosowano w wypadku butelki aptecznej z XVII–XVIII wieku (ryc. 5–7). Pozostałe wyroby szklane zostały oczyszczone z zanieczyszczeń za pomocą miękkiej szczotki oraz zapakowane w woreczki. Ich konserwacja zostanie przeprowadzona w warunkach laboratoryjnych.

The study presents 175 artefacts from the settlement center in Gniezno – beads and rings. The materials come from settlement levels from around the mid-10th to the 13th centuries. The latest chronological findings based on 14C dating have made it possible to refine the dating, especially of the early settlement levels of the stronghold, where the vast majority of glass artefacts come from. Threeba sic groups of beads have been distinguished based on the technique of their production – beads made of a drawing a tube, the technique of winding a glass strip, as well as casting and sintering. The results of 7 physico-chemical analyzes of the glass composition (performed with the X-Ray Fluorescence, XRF method) are presented. Physicochemical analyzes of the chemical composition of the tested beads made it possible to determine the technological group and the type of glass. An attempt was made to explain the origin of the starting material (glass) for jewelery. A comparative analysis made it possible to indicate in a general manner possible manufacturers and to outline the likely directions of the influx of these glass ornaments to Gniezno.

LT
Straipsnyje nagrinėjama dirbtinio apšvietimo estetika ir jos įtaka XX a. architektūrai. Išryškinta XIX a. pabaigoje atsiradusio elektrinio apšvietimo svarba ir atskleista apšvietimo techninė raida iki XX a. vidurio. Nagrinėjamos dirbtinio apšvietimo sąsajos su vizualiaisiais menais, apšvietimo įtaka reklamai, pastatų architektūrai bei visam miestui. Straipsnyje keliama idėja, kad nors apšvietimo prigimtis pradžioje buvo grynai funkcionali, ji greitai įgavo simbolinių ambicijų - reprezentuoti architektūrą. Architektai į apšvietimą žvelgė ne tik kaip į technologinę pažangą, tai buvo naują erą ženklinantis simbolis, erą, kurioje atsiranda didelės įtakos visoms kūrybinėms idėjoms turinti nauja savarankiška kūrybos sritis - šviesos architektūra.

The paper is designed to reveal the aesthetics of artificial lighting and its influence on the architecture of the 20th century. The main topics discussed are electric lighting, which appeard in our history at the end of the 19th century, and the technical development of lighting till the middle of the 20th century. Connections of artificial lighting with visual arts, its influence on advertisement, building architecture and the whole city are analysed. An idea is proposed that although lighting by nature was purely functional, very soon it acquired symbolic ambitions to represent architecture. In modern times architects understood that lighting was both a technological development and a symbol of a new era, when there appeared an independent field of creation - lighting architecture.

The second year of the Yurta‑Stroyno Archaeological Project continued in the excavation of the area selected the previous year. The stone foundations were further uncovered in their continuation both to the east and to the west of the investigated area. Disrupted soil from Rooms A and B, previously excavated by robbers, was cleaned to the sterile soil. The area of the settlement core was selectively walked while creating a geodetic site grid. During the random survey, several areas of outstanding surface concentrations were selected for future investigation. Further, documentation of the finds from the two years of the excavation progressed, with their selection given in this report.

Text is an attempt to compare two exhibitions from National Museum in Cracow: „Polish self-portrait” (1979/1980) and “#heritage” (2017/2018). Analyzed was their potential/method in the field of creation/planning of heritage and identity. Referring to, among others, Gregory Ashworth, Edwin W. Ardener, Eric Hobsbawm, Geneviève Zubrzycki and Jacques Lacan, I analyse the ways of establishing heritage, in terms of arbitrary and contractual.

PL
Celem artykułu jest ukazanie historii i szerszego kontekstu wyjątkowej realizacji architektonicznej – wielofunkcyjnego kompleksu Metropol Parasol (architekt: Jürgen Mayer H.) w hiszpańskiej Sewilli oraz jej wpływu na bliższe i dalsze otoczenie. Prezentowane założenie, umiejętnie łączące funkcje miastotwórcze z wysokiej jakości przestrzenią publiczną, stanowi ciekawą ilustrację nowych trendów w projektowaniu architektonicznym na początku XXI wieku (z uwzględnieniem architektury parametrycznej). Realizacja ta jest analizowana w kontekście lokalnym i globalnym, z nakreśleniem tła historycznego. Prezentowany materiał i wyniki badań mogą być punktem wyjścia dla dalszych opracowań dotyczących projektowania w historycznej tkance urbanistycznej.

The main goal of the article is a presentation of the history and broader context of a unique architectural realisation – the multifunctional complex of Metropol Parasol in Spanish Seville (architect: Jürgen Mayer H.) and its impact on the surrounding space. The presented case skilfully connects cityforming functions with high-quality public space, and it may be treated as a fine example of new architectural trends at the beginning of the 21st century (including parametric design). The realisation is analysed in a local, global, and historical context. The material can be a point of departure for further studies concerning architectural design in historical urban fabric.
