The Ubaid impact on the periphery: Mersin-Yumuktepe during the fifth millennium BC
No full textLocated at the north-western “margins” of the Ubaid world, Mersin-Yumuktepe yielded a consistent
series of building layers covering the 5000-4200 BC time-span which offers a unique documentation on the
long-term fifth millennium developments of Cilicia.
From the celebrated Level XVI, characterised by a monumental fortified structure that hosted activities
connected with smelted copper metallurgy, to the large architectural complex of the recently excavated
Level XV, which hosted large-scale distributive activities, the cultural sequence of Yumuktepe indicates
radical changes, not only in terms of the function of its monumental structures, but also in terms of the
new political and cultural strategies, which radically affected the organisation of craft-production (clearly
visible in the appearance of mass-produced Coba bowls).
This new direction towards a staple-resources oriented economy and food-based social strategies is
the sign of the impact that a new economic and political model partly rooted in the Mesopotamian Ubaid
traditions exerted on this region around 4500 BC. This model provided a structural premise for the later
developments leading to the rise of states and cities in southern Anatolia during the fourth millennium

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
