Prospection géophysique à al-Rawda et urbanisme en Syrie au Bronze ancien
No full textThe site of al-Rawda, which has been excavated since 2002 by a franco-syrian team, is situated in the Shamiyeh, on the very edge of Early Bronze Age settlements in the steppe lands. The presence of well-preserved archaeological levels of the latter part of the Early Bronze Age just beneath the mound's present surface has led us to carry out a geophysical survey on the tell of al-Rawda during autumn 2003 in order to understand urbanism at this site. This survey reveals a regular, dense settlement plan, organised around a concentric road network, which is the result of careful planning and certainly of a political will. The domestic and monumental buildings (which include at least two temples in antis) respect the general organisation of the town. One of the temples has been discovered as a result of the geophysical survey without any excavation. The organisation of the buildings and the road network reveals an elaborate urban plan which was not subjected to any later disturbance ; we can probably speak of a new town, even if it was built over earlier structures for which we have some evidence, but whose nature and extent remain to be defined.
These survey results combined with information obtained through excavation allow us to consider the site of al-Rawda a proper town with the multiple functions of a town (defensive, residential, economic, religious), at least in the last phases of occupation or the end of Early Bronze IV. This settlement may even be considered an urban center which is necessarily the work of a sedentary population. Comparison with other sites occupied during the same period seems to show that an urban pattern existed which is characteristic of the steppe and of the marginal agricultural lands in Syria during the Early Bronze Age. Like al-Rawda, these towns are circular, fortified and organised around a concentric road network.Le site ď al-Rawda, fouillé depuis 2002 par une équipe franco-syrienne, se trouve dans la Shamiyeh, en limite d'implantation des sédentaires dans la steppe syrienne au Bronze ancien. La faible perturbation des niveaux archéologiques du Bronze ancien final, accessibles en surface, nous a conduit à avoir recours à une prospection géophysique pour comprendre l'urbanisme du site, dès l 'automne 2003.
Cette prospection, conduite sur l'ensemble du site, met en évidence un tissu urbain dense et un plan d'urbanisme régulier. Ce tissu est organisé autour d 'une voirie radioconcentrique, résultat d'un urbanisme planifié et sans doute d'une volonté politique. Le bâti ordinaire et monumental (dont deux temples à antes au moins) respecte l 'organisation générale de l 'agglomération. Ces résultats, confrontés à ceux obtenus par la fouille, permettent de considérer le site ď al-Rawda comme une création urbaine qui ne peut être le fait que de populations sédentaires. La comparaison avec d'autres recherches en cours du même type sur des sites syriens occupés au Bronze ancien paraît indiquer qu 'il existait un modèle urbain propre à la steppe et aux zones agricoles marginales du Bronze ancien de Syrie. Ces villes sont circulaires, ceintes d'un rempart et organisées selon un plan radioconcentrique.Gondet Sébastien, Castel Corinne.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Syria's Urban Housing in the Middle Bronze : Technical, Functional and Sociological Analyses
No full textLes maisons sont une oeuvre architecturale, certes, mais elles sont aussi le cadre de vie des hommes, le reflet de leurs connaissances techniques, de leurs exigences de confort, de leurs coutumes, de leurs manières de vivre et de leurs rapports avec la mort. Toutefois, ce type de vestiges a souvent été ignoré devant les grands bâtiments prestigieux de plus grand intérêt. D’où vient notre intérêt de mener une étude synthétisée à ce sujet. De plus, l’habitat de Syrie au Bronze moyen n’a fait l’objet, jusqu’à présent d’aucune étude détaillée malgré l’importance stratégique de cette région et celle de la période du point de vue du développement urbain. En effet, la fin du IIIe millénaire (ou Bronze ancien) correspond à un abandon de nombreux sites ou à une réduction très importante de leur taille et de leur complexité, alors que le Bronze Moyen II (entre 1800 et 1500 av. J.-C.), la période qui nous concerne, apparaît une époque florissante.Notre thèse s’articule en deux grandes parties distinctes. La première est consacrée à une analyse approfondie et critique de la documentation disponible issue de 36 sites situés dans quatre régions différentes, à savoir la Syrie du Nord-Ouest, la moyenne vallée de l’Oronte, la moyenne vallée de l’Euphrate et la Syrie du Nord-Est. Cette recherche a été enrichie par des données inédites issues des anciennes fouilles allemandes sur le site de Tell Halawa A sur la moyenne vallée de l’Euphrate et des travaux archéologiques que nous avons menés sur le site de Tell Mishrifeh/l’ancienne Qatna en Syrie occidentale.L’ensemble des données archéologiques disponibles a été exploité (relevés architecturaux, photographies de fouille, notes de terrain, articles déjà parus…), ainsi qu’un certain nombre de données textuelles (notamment celles mises au jour dans le chantier T de Qatna). Ils forment un ensemble d’éléments intéressants pour mieux restituer la volumétrie et l’histoire des maisons antiques.La deuxième partie de nos travaux est fondée sur la comparaison et le croisement des différents résultats obtenus qui nous a permis de mettre au jour les grandes caractéristiques des maisons de cette époque aux plans technique, typologique et fonctionnel. Nous avons mis en évidence les différences régionales et une possible évolution des formes du bâti et de ses usages. Nous avons cherché également, autant que possible, à considérer l’habitat dans son environnement urbain et à restituer à l’architecture domestique sa dimension sociale à travers la hiérarchie et les relations de voisinage qu’elle est susceptible de révéler.Whilst houses are certainly a work of architecture, they are also Man’s lived environment that reflect their technical expertise, home comforts, customs, way of life and their relationship with death. However, this type of vestige is often overlooked in favour of large, prestigious buildings of greater interest. Furthermore, Syria's Middle Bronze Age habitat has not yet been the subject of any detailed study, despite the strategic importance of this region and the period from an urban development perspective. In fact, the end of the third millennium (or Early Bronze) saw the abandonment of many sites, or at least a very significant reduction in their size and complexity, whereas the Middle Bronze II (between 1800 and 1500 B.C.), the period which concerns us, appears to have been a flourishing time.Our thesis is divided into two distinct parts. The first focuses on a thorough and critical analysis of the available materials from 36 sites located in four separate regions, these being Northwest Syria, the Middle Orontes Valley, the Middle Euphrates Valley and Northeast Syria. This research has been enriched by unpublished data from previous German excavations on the site of Tell Halawa A on the Middle Euphrates valley, and archaeological work that we conducted on the site of Tell Mishrifeh / the ancient Qatna in Western Syria.All the available archaeological data has been used (architectural surveys, excavation photographs, field notes, articles already published, etc.), as well as certain pieces of textual data (notably those found in Area T at Qatna). These were interesting points of comparison that helped us to reconstruct more fully the history and the volumetry of the ancient houses.The second part of our work is based on the comparison and cross-referencing of the various results obtained, which enabled us to uncover the main technical, typological and functional characteristics of the houses of that period. We have highlighted regional differences and a possible evolution of the types of buildings and their uses. We have also sought, as far as is possible, to consider housing in its urban environment and to restore the social dimension of domestic architecture through the hierarchy and neighbourhood relations that it is likely to reveal
