Construction materials and scaffoldings during the Middle Ages: A comparative analysis of case studies in Castile and Leon, Spain (XI-XVI centuries)

[EN] The construction technology of the Middle Ages has been analysed in several researches and, except for some studies regarding the early medieval period, most of them are generally focused on the vaults and they cover just a particular historical period. For this reason, this work has two main o...
