Funerary practices during the transition between the Middle and the Late Bronze age in the South eastern Paris Basin : an archeo-anthropological approach
No full textLe sud-est du Bassin parisien se situe, pour la période de transition entre l’âge du Bronze moyen et l’âge du Bronze final, au contact de deux grands courants culturels : les cultures Nord-alpine et Manche/Mer-du-Nord. Les sites funéraires retrouvés le long des cours de la Seine et de l’Yonne ont permis de mettre au jour des pratiques funéraires variées correspondant notamment à des sépultures longues et des sépultures courtes. Les études antérieures ont mis en avant une influence majeure de la culture Nord-alpine sur cette zone géographique. Elles ont aussi proposé la provenance extérieure de certains individus. A la suite de ces travaux, cette étude a repris l’ensemble des données de quatorze sites présentant des inhumations et pour lesquels des données archéologiques et ostéologiques étaient accessibles. Le but de cette relecture était d’établir si des groupes de populations pouvaient effectivement être déterminés d’un point de vue archéologique puis validés d’un point de vue biologique par des observations métriques et morphologiques grâce aux caractères discrets. L’observation pour chacune des échelles de l’étude n’a pas révélé de groupe de population distinct. Elle a toutefois permis de proposer des fonctionnements spécifiques selon chacun des groupes de sépultures. De plus, la présence de sépultures courtes où certains défunts subissent des manipulations pourraient révéler l’existence d’autres circuits de traitement des corps, hors des contextes de nécropoles. Leur mise en parallèle avec le développement majeur de la pratique de l’incinération et du nombre d’individus sur les sites pourrait indiquer un accès progressif facilité à l’espace funéraire.The south-east of the Paris Basin is, for the transition period between the Middle Bronze Age and the Final Bronze Age, in contact with two major cultural currents: the North-Alps and the Manche/North Sea cultures. The burial sites found along the Seine and Yonne rivers have revealed various funeral practices, including long and short burials. Previous studies have highlighted a major influence of North-Alpine culture on this geographical area. They also proposed the external provenance of certain individuals. Following these works, this study included all the data from fourteen sites with burials for which archaeological and osteological data were available. The purpose of this review was to establish whether population groups could indeed be determined from an archaeological point of view and then validated from a biological point of view by metric and morphological observations using discrete traits. Observation for each of the study scales did not reveal a distinct population group. However, it has made it possible to propose specific configurations for each of the burial groups. In addition, the presence of short graves where some skeletons are manipulated could reveal the existence of other circuits for the treatment of bodies, outside the context of necropolises. Their comparison with the major development in the practice of incineration and the number of individuals on these sites could indicate a gradual and facilitated access to the funeral space

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
