The Judge Earl Stone House, built in 1849, is one of the oldest existing structures in Noblesville, Indiana, the county seat of Hamilton County, which is located immediately north of Indianapolis and Marion County. Originally built as a residence, it has been used for commercial purposes since the middle of the twentieth century. Last occupied in 1998 when it was used as a gift store, it has remained vacant, causing its condition to deteriorate.This creative project documents the current condition of the building, offers recommendations for the preservation of the exterior and foundation of the structure, provides a maintenance schedule to prevent further deterioration, and recommends two adaptive reuses. / Department of Architecture

The Iron age settlement of Buttle Änge is located on the island of Gotland (Sweden), in the inland south of the medieval town Visby. The Stonehouse foundations on the site have been the focus for the University of Uppsala Campus Gotland archeological excavation since 2013. This paper aims to present a study of the pottery found in the Stonehouse foundations and the spaces between the houses from the excavations 2014-2016. The intention is to map and comprehend the Buttle ceramics. In order to accomplish the intended purpose and questions, I have defined and categorized the ceramics in different ceramic types based on color and minerals alterations in the clay, as well as other defining features to investigate the craft and the archaeological structures. The ceramic ware is evaluated by certain restrictions intended for obtaining a relative dating for the houses, which can provide an increased insight into the locations relationships to other Stonehouse foundations. The houses display many similarities with both foundations and construction, the difficulty has been to establish a chronology.   The focus has been on ceramics rather than on the Stonehouse foundations, which has resulted in 21 different ceramic types, based on color and minerals variations in the clay. In the documentation of the material, both archaeological and handicraft markers have been considered. This is where the pottery is both a source of information for the archaeologists, but also a craft that possesses information. By trying to put the ceramics into its context, it becomes possible to get an understanding of how it has changed and developed. The pottery has then been compared with Vallhagar (Fröjel, Gotland), to see if the material from Buttle is of the same style and shape. Different markers have since been compared with the Vallhagar material, which has given deeper understanding for a chronology, but also that there are similarities that indicate that there has been a know-how to produce the ceramic. Although there are minor details that have changed in the vessel's markers, it may be crucial for the chronology. The change may have been for practical reasons, but also for social reasons, and we need to know the significance of the change before we can see the chronological value. The study of pottery can hopefully give a wide-ranging understanding of the Stonehouse foundations timelines and the iron age people’s daily life.

Its objective is to speculate possible points of view for the narrator of a potential narration stablished around what is to be said by another one, already published: the novel Before the past, inscribed in the post-dictatorial Brazilian literature. Our methodological strategy is structured around two cores. The first one embraces the analysis of Before the past: the silence which comes from Araguaia, which was based on the concepts of narrator, vestige and threshold according to Wayne Booth and Walter Benjamin studies. The second one is centered on the work in progress - Stone house and has as conceptual axis the notions of archive, act and potency came from Michel Foucault e Giorgio Agamben studies. From this context, emerges the proposition of giving ear and trying to identify, describe and analyze Before the past narrative voice procedures, departing from a site where we are settled simultaneously as a researcher and a reader who scrutinizes her own work. In Part II, the architectural mechanisms of Stone house are investigated by a reflexive voice, which mixes first and third persons that narrate the creation research construction in the form of a writer s book , in the light of the book Passages, by Walter Benjamin. As a result, we delineated a sort of literary cartography of proto-book, which is Stone house, based on collecting and organizing archives made of documental vestiges, memories, audiovisual interviews, photographs, written and oral narratives about Brazilian military dictatorship, and the disappearing and death through a fragile narration which tries to keep itself in a threshold between said and non said, creation and (un)creation / Esta dissertação inscreve-se numa zona intervalar entre a crítica e a criação literária, ou seja, entre o discurso crítico sobre uma obra, Antes do Passado o silêncio que vem do Araguaia (2012), de minha autoria, e a criação potencial de outra Casa de Pedra. O objetivo é o de especular possíveis pontos de vista para o narrador de um relato potencial cujo esteio está naquilo que ficou por dizer em outro, já publicado: o do romance Antes do Passado inscrito na literatura brasileira do período pós-ditatorial. A estratégia metodológica se estruturou em dois núcleos. O primeiro abrange a análise da narração de Antes do Passado o silêncio que vem do Araguaia, tendo como fundamentos os conceitos de narrador, rastro e limiar a partir dos estudos de Wayne Booth e Walter Benjamin. O segundo centra-se na obra em processo de criação - Casa de Pedra - e tem como eixo conceitual as noções de arquivo, ato e potência, a partir de Michel Foucault e Giorgio Agamben. Surge, deste contexto, a proposição de uma escuta que procura identificar, descrever e analisar procedimentos da voz narrativa de Antes do Passado, partindo de um lugar onde nos colocamos, simultaneamente, como pesquisadora e leitora que perscruta a própria obra. Já na Parte II, são investigados os mecanismos arquitetônicos de Casa de Pedra, por meio de uma voz reflexiva que mescla primeira e terceira pessoas, a narrar a construção da pesquisa de criação na forma de um Livro do Escritor , à luz do livro das Passagens de Walter Benjamin. Como resultado, delineamos uma espécie de cartografia literária de um proto-livro , que é Casa de Pedra, a partir da recolha e da organização de arquivos feitos de rastros de documentos, memórias, entrevistas audiovisuais, fotografias, narrativas verbais e escritas sobre a ditadura militar brasileira, o desaparecimento e a morte por meio de uma frágil narração que busca se manter no limiar entre o dito e o não dito, entre criação e des-criação
