Experiencing Medieval Craft Practice: New Approaches to Glass Production in Islamic Iberia

在8到15世纪的伊比利亚，手工艺实践在伊斯兰世界和基督教世界之间的主要文化交易中发挥了关键作用。我的研究将部分重建12世纪穆尔西亚普克斯马里纳的伊斯兰玻璃作坊--这是在西班牙发现的唯一完整的中世纪样本。创新的考古实验将解决玻璃生产技术、熔炉燃烧和污染物的问题，将玻璃生产技术的经验与对创意和历史传统中当前玻璃从业者的原始人种学研究相结合，阐明中世纪伊比利亚的玻璃生产实践，改变我们对中世纪工艺知识和早期现代科学之间关系的理解。

Craft practices played a key role in major cultural transactions between the Islamic and Christian worlds in8th to 15th century Iberia. My research will partially reconstruct the 12th century Islamic glass workshop atcalle Puxmarina, Murcia - the only complete medieval example discovered in Spain. Innovativearchaeological experiments will address questions of glass production techniques, furnace stoking and pollutants, combining experience in glass production technology with original ethnographic studies ofcurrent glass practitioners in creative and historical traditions, to illuminate the practice of glassproduction in medieval Iberia, transforming our understanding of relations between medieval craftknowledge and early-modern science.
