La Pesca nell'antichità: l'apporto dell'archeozoologia negli studi storico-archeologici: un esempio daSulky- Sant'Antioco
Full text linkArchaeozoological studies at Iron Age Sant’Antioco provide evidence for the exploitation of marine resources in the region of Sulcis. This paper presents the results of the analysis of fish remains from urban contexts atSulky, an ancient town inhabited during the Phoenician, Punic and Roman periods. The existence of a small-scale fishery developed on a household subsistence basis appears evident. This fishery was combined with larger-scale commercial activities that dealt with fishing and trade at a trans-Mediterranean level
Lo sfruttamento del cervo sardo nel Sulcis: controllo del territorio ed espressione di potere
No full textNell’ambito delle ricerche archeologiche nell’area sulcitana dirette da Piero Bartoloni, sono state eseguite numerose analisi archeozoologiche che hanno portato all’attenzione degli studiosi la problematica dello sfruttamento delle risorse naturali da parte delle popolazioni stanziate nell’area; in particolare si vuole evidenziare in questa sede come le tracce dello sfruttamento di un grosso mammifero selvatico come il cervo sardo possano in effetti evidenziare una tipologia di controllo del territorio e di elevazione sociale
L\u27avifauna di Sulky (Sardegna, Italia): uccellagione e avicoltura nel Sulcis dal periodo fenicio all\u27età Romana
No full textRiassunto - L\u27insediamento del Cronicario di Sant\u27Antioco, situato nell\u27omonima isola, nella parte sud occidentale della Sardegna, risulta essere, allo stato attuale delle ricerche, la città fenicia più antica della Sardegna, con testimonianze arcaiche che datano la sua fondazione alla prima metà dell\u27VIII secolo a.C. In questa sede si pone l\u27attenzione su alcuni ambienti, inseriti nell\u27apparato urbano della città, che offrono testimonianze di caccia e allevamento a partire dalle prime fasi di vita della colonia fenicia. I resti di avifauna testimoniano lo sfruttamento di diverse specie avicole. L\u27uccellagione è attestata in tutti i periodi storici come testimoniato dalle stratigrafie indagate archeologicamente grazie alle quali è emersa una particolare attenzione verso le specie di habitat lagunare. L\u27allevamento del pollame, con l\u27introduzione del gallo sull\u27isola, assume un ruolo significativo durante l\u27età ellenistica e romana. Summary - The avifauna of Sulky (Sardinia, Italy): fowling and bird husbandry in Sulcis from Phoenician times to Roman age. The Cronicario settlement is located on the Sant\u27Antioco island (SW Sardinia). On the basis of recent studies, we now know that this was the earliest Phoenician settlement in Sardinia; in fact, the foundation of the colony has been dated to the middle of the 8th century BC. This paper focus on the analysis of a settlement portion in the urbanized area, which preserves traces of hunting and animal husbandry activities that developed from the earliest phases of the Phoenician colony. Bird remains are indicatives of the exploitation of different species. Fowling is attested in all the archaeological phases. Preferred species are those that inhabits lagoon environments. Bird husbandry has become important from hellenistic and roman period with the introduction of the domestic fowl
Nora: analisi archeozoologica di un contesto chiuso. Probabili manifestazioni cultuali in età romana
Full text linkItNell'ambito del progetto di ricerca Isthmos che vede la collaborazione tra la cattedra di Archeologia Greca e Romana dell'Università di Cagliari con la Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio per la città metropolitana di Cagliari e per le province di Oristano, Medio Campidano, Carbonia-Iglesias, Ogliastra e il Comune di Pula, a partire dal maggio 2013 sono state condotte alcune indagini archeologiche all'interno di un area già occupata da servitù militare e recentemente ceduta al demanio pubblico. Lo scavo dell'area Alfa ha permesso di individuare una serie di stratigrafie inquadrabili tra l'età romana repubblicana e tardo imperiale. In particolare è stata indagata una fossa riempita da strati ricchi di elementi ceramici, alcuni votivi e molte ossa animali. È stata dunque avviata una collaborazione con il sottoscritto e Barbara Wilkens, docente di Archeozoologia all'Università di Sassari, per l'esame dei reperti osteologici. Il lavoro su questi materiali si è rivelato utile per poter rafforzare le ipotesi degli archeologi che interpretano la fossa come il risultato della dismissione di un area sacra presente verosimilmente nelle vicinanze del settore di scavo. L'esame dei resti osteologici ci permette inoltre di poter discutere sulla tipologia e morfologia delle specie rappresentate oltre che di alcune pratiche cultuali tipiche dell'età romana.EnIn May 2013 the Isthmos research project started with the collaboration of Greek and Roman Archaeology teaching post at the University of Cagliari, the Soprintendenza Archeologia della Sardegna and the city council of Pula. Some archaeological investigations carried out in a new area of the Roman city of Nora were part of the project. During the excavation some layers dated from the Republican to the Late Imperial periods were bought to light in area Alfa. In particular, the excavation concerned a pit filled with pottery, votive artefacts and animal bones. The collaboration between the Isthmos project and the teaching post of Archaeozoology at the University of Sassari allowed starting the study of animal remains. The archaeozoological framework was useful to verify the archaeological interpretation of the feature: a ditch filled with the remains from a sacred complex located close to the excavated area. in this work we will also discuss the frequency of the species and all aspects of the animal remains found into the pit, as well as the Roman ritual practices evidenced by the feature

Este trabajo presenta los resultados de los análisis ictioarqueológicos en contextos urbanos de Sulky, la antigua ciudad habitada por fenicios, púnicos y romanos. La existencia de una pesquería a pequeña escala, desarrollada a un nivel de subsistencia, parece evidente. Esta pesquería se conjuntaba con una actividad comercial a mayor escala que implicaba pesca y comercio a un nivel transmediterráneo
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
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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
