Radiocarbon dating and characterisation of textiles preserved in late medieval helmets from Benicarló (Castellón, Spain)

[EN] While absolute dating has become the archaeological gold standard, typology can provide context beyond time frames. Here, the authors demonstrate this with the chronological assessment of iron helmets from the underwater site of Piedras de la Barbada, near Benicarl & oacute; (eastern Sp...

Here, the authors demonstrate this with the chronological assessment of iron helmets from the underwater site of Piedras de la Barbada, near Benicarl & oacute; (eastern Spain). Marine concretions helped preserve fabric linings in several helmets, permitting direct radiocarbon dating of the assemblage to the late fourteenth or early fifteenth centuries AD. Typological and iconographic comparisons agree, identifying the helmets as regionally produced, light-infantry equipment that pre-dates the fifteenth-century standardisation of European plate armour systems, corresponding with a period of maritime insecurity along the Valencian coast.The radiocarbon analyses were funded by Fundacion Palarq (PALARQ24-01, Universitat d'Alacant) and by the RAMUS doctoral programme (Universita degli Studi di Salerno). Microscopic and spectroscopic analyses of the textiles were funded by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033), the European Regional Development Fund and Agencia Estatal de Investigacion (PID2020-113022GB-I00, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia).Antiquity PublicationsDepartamento de Conservación y Restauración de Bienes CulturalesFacultad de Bellas ArtesInstituto Universitario de Restauración del PatrimonioFundación PalarqAgencia Estatal de InvestigaciónUniversità degli Studi di SalernoRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20262026-05-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/235778reponame:RiuNet.
