L’alta Valle del Taro : strategie locazionali in ambiente montano
Get PDFA case-study is examined concerning the location/allocation strategies of the High Taro Valley (Parma-Italy) during the Middle to the Late Bronze Age and a predictive analysis is performed on the basis of a locally-sensitive application of T. Higuchi's (1998) model. The current work derives from a PhD project carried out by the author at the University of Padova. First, the research project database is presented, then three different analyses performed in mountainous environment are illustrated: two viewshed-based and one distance-based. The first is intended to analyze the visual control of each site on the surrounding landscape and to propose the clustering of sites in different geographical districts following the datum of their intervisibility inside a given buffer. The second seeks to highlight the high rate of overall control of Bronze Age sites over the entire landscape. The distance-based analysis shows a high correspondence between Bronze Age sites and ophiolites formations, known in academic literature as geological formations rich in chalcopyrite and possibly related to bronze metallurgy

The topography of the site
No full textThe internal layout of Aghram Nadharif was the focus of two different digital surveys. While the first (1999) was fairly interpretative, the second (2001) recorded waste and rubble as well, and attempted to analyse the topography of the site using simple GIS techniques. Features were surveyed and coded from 1 to 5 according to their state of preservation and readability. The next step was the creation of a plan in the ESRI ArcGIS environment, assigning a different weight to the structures according to their code. This allowed usto recognize rooms and streets, clustering the first according to their orientation in differentsectors. The interpretative process is described in the text, allowing readers to verify each reconstruction and propose different hypotheses. The final picture of the site suggests four gateways, three on the wadiside (the northern and the central having been excavated) and one on the oasisside, buildings oriented according to the city wall and streets following its internal perimeter and reaching the central part ofthe citadel
Modelli dal terreno: riflessioni e ripensamenti sulla gestione digitale dei dati di scavo

Get PDFThe need for a quick methodology of 3D surface recording, sensitive to the timing of fieldwork, low cost, and suitable for both micro- and meso-contexts, has induced the writers to develop a standard procedure. It is now possible to obtain a dense x, y, z point cloud starting from the photographic coverage of a surface, respecting precise parameters of overlapping for the different photos picturing the scene, and calibrating the camera. The software used to generate the point cloud is PhotoModeler Scanner, chosen firstly for its internal module of camera calibration and correction algorithm of radial distortion, and secondly for its capacity to verify the position of the different frames and point clouds roto-translating in a known reference system. The key point of the procedure is the importing of the point cloud in a GIS environment, where a DEM is created with an interpolation algorithm. The resulting surface is in the same GIS environment of vector and raster themes documenting the excavation. The
procedure was tested in two different case studies: a micro-context corresponding to Tomb 112, a cremation tomb in the Iron Age necropolis of Piovego (Padua, Italy), and a meso-context
corresponding to the Late Bronze Age settlement of Gradiscje (Codroipo, Italy). In both cases, meaningful because different in scale stratigraphy and survey issues, it is clear how 3D survey
and the subsequent modeling of the point cloud has been fundamental for the understanding of the archaeological record
Un approccio globale al concetto di sistema territoriale : Alcune riflessioni di metodo
No full textScopo di questo contributo è prospettare una nuova linea di ricerca di tipo globale (Mannoni sensu) attenta alle relazioni sistemiche tra macroaree contermini su scala regionale (l’Italia Settentrionale nel nostro caso) nella Preistoria recente e nella Protostoria.
Anche se non completamente nuovo nel dibattito teorico nazionale, un simile approccio non è ancora molto diffuso in Italia, contrariamente a quanto accade nel nord Europa.
Obiettivo di questo lavoro è quindi tracciare un'agenda teorica e metodologica, volta a individuare il sistema di relazioni culturali, ideologiche, economiche e di scambio che potrebbe avere legato tra loro su scala macroregionale i singoli sistemi territoriali sviluppatisi in più circoscritti - e apparentemente "autonomi" - comparti geografici
