Houses and Urban Layout in the Venetian Quarter of Constantinople : Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The last decade has witnessed a growing interest in domestic residences, workshops and commercial structures in Byzantine cities and in the layout of the urban regions in which they were located. 1 It has been rightly stressed that neither the nature and functions of houses nor the urban layout can be studied exclusively on the basis of archeological remains or surveys. Archeological excavations are often limited in extent, especially when conducted in built-up areas undergoing modern development. Moreover, building materials used in Byzantine houses and shops have not always survived later construction or left traces on the ground. This is particularly the case of timber, which is easily destroyed by fire or earthquakes and more likely than stone or brick to be stripped from damaged, neglected, abandoned, or even from intact buildings. Indeed, in Constantinople wood was tom down from abandoned houses for heating during the Byzantine siege of 1250, entire houses were destroyed in the quest for planks to fit the Byzantine fleet in 1348, and the beams of buildings were carried off during the long Ottoman siege of 1394–1402 for fuel to bake bread and cook food. 2

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
