La ceramica dal casale in località Céscole a Itri (LT): nuove fonti archeologiche per lo studio della società bassomedievale tra la contea di Fondi ed il porto di Gaeta
No full textL'area del golfo di Gaeta sino ad ora non è stata interessata da sistematiche ricerche di archeologia medievale. In particolare, ben poco si conosce della cultura materiale bassomedievale, soprattutto della ceramica di uso quotidiano. In questo contributo si vuole fornire una descrizione dei materiali rinvenuti all’interno e nell’area circostante il casale in località Céscole in Itri (Lazio, Italia), consistenti principalmente in anfore di varia dimensione di riutilizzo e in altre forme di ceramica acroma e dipinta. Nella prima parte sono raccolte informazioni sul contesto storico regionale del XIV secolo ed alcune brevi note sulla topografia dell’area del casale. La seconda parte fornisce uno studio dettagliato dei materiali condotto col fine di interpretare al meglio quelle che sembrerebbero essere attestazioni di particolare interesse per le produzioni tardo medievali dell’area costiera campano-laziale, nonché i primi di questo tipo documentati nell’area di Itri. Il casale con torre in località Céscole costituisce con i suoi materiali un nuovo contesto che, a seguito di ulteriori e più approfondite indagini, potrà in futuro fornire dati di natura archeologica utili alla ricostruzione del paesaggio rurale orbitante intorno al Castrum Ytri tra XIV e XV secolo.To date, the area of the gulf of Gaeta has never been involved in systematic Medieval Archaeology research. Very little is known, for instance, about the late Medieval material culture of this region, especially concerning pottery for everyday use. The aim of this paper is to provide a first description of the pottery found in and around the casale located at le Céscole in Itri (Lazio, Italy). This material consists mostly of amphorae and other painted wares. In the first part of the paper, we provide information about the regional historical context for the XIV century. The second part includes a detailed study of the pottery found in the casale and aims to give a first interpretation of it. The pottery could be an important attestation of the late Medieval production of the coast between Lazio and Campania and the first of this kind ever to be reported from Itri. The casale at le Céscole, together with its pottery, represents a new context from which, through further investigations, we can hope to extrapolate more archaeological data in the near future. These data will surely aid us in reconstructing the rural landscape orbiting around the Castrum Ytri between the XIV and the XV century
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Tracce di attività artigianali ed estrattive dagli scavi del complesso monastico di San Vincenzo al Volturno
No full textL'articolo illustra i risultati delle ricerche condotte in un'area adiacente al perimetro monastico di San Vincenzo al Volturno, sulla riva destra del fiume. Da queste indagini sono emerse tracce di attività metallurgiche ed estrattive cronologicamente coerenti con le fasi di vita altomedievali del cenobio. Nello specifico, il contributo a firma del sottoscritto analizza la stratigrafia relativa ad una fornace da campana risalente all'VIII/IX secolo
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Interethnic diffrences in Free Fatty acids and glucose metabolism in asian Indians and Caucasinas
No full textMild increase in body fat content is known to induce excessive insulin resistance in Asian Indians compared to Caucasians. We evaluated the difference in Free fatty acids and Glucose metabolism in Asian Indians and Caucasians. Insulin-dependent plasma FFA suppression is impaired in Asian Indians with even minor body fat content compared to Caucasians. Furthermore , induced plasma FFA elevation had much more impact on insulinmediated glucose disposal of Asian Indians than Caucasians even in very thin and insulin sensitive subjetcs
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Google earth engine as multi-sensor open-source tool for supporting the preservation of archaeological areas: The case study of flood and fire mapping in metaponto, italy
Full text linkIn recent years, the impact of Climate change, anthropogenic and natural hazards (such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, tsunamis, fires) has dramatically increased and adversely affected modern and past human buildings including outstanding cultural properties and UNESCO heritage sites. Research about protection/monitoring of cultural heritage is crucial to preserve our cultural properties and (with them also) our history and identity. This paper is focused on the use of the open-source Google Earth Engine tool herein used to analyze flood and fire events which affected the area of Metaponto (southern Italy), near the homonymous Greek-Roman archaeological site. The use of the Google Earth Engine has allowed the supervised and unsupervised classification of areas affected by flooding (2013–2020) and fire (2017) in the past years, obtaining remarkable results and useful information for setting up strategies to mitigate damage and support the preservation of areas and landscape rich in cultural and natural heritage
SAR Sentinel 1 imaging and detection of palaeo-landscape features in the mediterranean area
Full text linkThe use of satellite radar in landscape archaeology offers great potential for manifold applications, such as the detection of ancient landscape features and anthropogenic transformations. Compared to optical data, the use and interpretation of radar imaging for archaeological investigations is more complex, due to many reasons including that: (i) ancient landscape features and anthropogenic transformations provide subtle signals, which are (ii) often covered by noise; and, (iii) only detectable in specific soil characteristics, moisture content, vegetation phenomenology, and meteorological parameters. In this paper, we assessed the capability of SAR Sentinel 1 in the imaging and detection of palaeo-landscape features in the Mediterranean area of Tavoliere delle Puglie. For the purpose of our investigations, a significant test site (larger than 200 km2) was selected in the Foggia Province (South of Italy) as this area has been characterized for millennia by human frequentation starting from (at least) the Neolithic. The results from the Sentinel 1 (S-1) data were successfully compared with independent data sets, and the comparison clearly showed an excellent match between the S-1 based outputs and ancient anthropogenic transformations and landscape features
