    Il Serapeo e i Granai Imperiali di Pozzuoli

    Per il presente lavoro, partendo da un inedito dettaglio stratigrafico dell’area dei Granai Imperiali, curato nel 1986 da uno degli autori (L.L.), è stato effettuato un rilevamento approfondito dell’area circostante il Serapeo, che ha consentito di recuperare nuovi dati stratigrafici dai pochi tagli esposti. Obiettivo di questa prima fase del lavoro è stato ricostruire in maniera completa l’assetto geo-vulcanologico dell’area, alla luce degli effetti dei ripetuti eventi bradisismici che la hanno interessata. Si è voluto, inoltre, riproporre frammenti di una letteratura poco nota riguardante il Tempio di Serapide il cui ruolo nel contesto geologico era stato già ritenuto importantissimo da Charles Lyell alla metà del XIX secolo. Un ulteriore obiettivo del lavoro è quello di diffondere, per la prima volta, la cronistoria del rinvenimento dei Granai Imperiali di Pozzuoli, resti archeologici che oggi giacciono sotto un manto di asfalto in seguito a decisioni scientificamente poco oculate prese a suo tempo dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica delle province di Napoli e Caserta. A riguardo sono descritti i fatti accaduti nel 1986, corredati da una documentazione integrale ed originale, nella speranza che in futuro non vengano più perpetrati danni simili sia al patrimonio geologico dei Campi Flegrei sia all’affascinante mondo dell’archeologia

    The GeoCaF project: proposal of a geosites network at Campi Flegrei (southern Italy).

    Campi Flegrei is a 75-km2 volcanic area located to the west of Naples, Italy. Declared a regional park in 1997, this area combines fascinating geology with its unique long natural history, unique customs and outstanding ancient Greek and Roman civilization. Campi Flegrei comprises a substantial number of sites that are remarkable in terms of their scientific quality, rarity, aesthetic appeal and educational value, most of which are valuable for their geological heritage, although their interest to scientists and the general public may also be archaeological, ecological, historical or cultural. The Campi Flegrei volcanic fields also represent one of the highest volcanic risk areas in the world. However, this fact is not fully appreciated by the inhabitants of the towns located within the area. All of these features make Campi Flegrei a very suitable area to be designated a volcanological Geopark, which would help to promote knowledge of the importance of active volcanoes in this area. A new detailed geological survey of the area has allowed us to identify many sites that are of high pedagogical and educational value. Using this survey as a starting point, we draw particular attention to seven geosites, namely, Cuma, Averno, Monte Nuovo, Solfatara, Piperno, Monte di Procida and Procida (GeoCaF network). All of these sites are also of lively archaeological and historical interest, as testified to by the numerous ancient documents collected and investigated during the research. Each geosite satisfies the criteria adopted for the most recent Italian geosites, i. e. representativeness, scientific interest, rarity, landscape value, educational value, accessibility, preservation and vulnerability. We therefore hypothesize a Campi Flegrei Geopark that includes these seven geosites, which are linked by roads and, occasionally, by collapsed tunnels that were dug in Roman times for military purposes. This geopark could represent a step forward in terms of the promotion of the geological heritage of this area by increasing the awareness of locals and visitors to future volcanic risks

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
