Ubi dicitur Millano. Il castello di Scopetulo (San Miniato, PI): nuovi dati dalla campagna di scavo 2015
No full textNell’articolo sono presentati i risultati della campagna di scavo 2015 nel sito di Migliana (Balconevisi, San Miniato-Pisa) e dello studio dei reperti ceramici, numismatici e metallici, oltre ad un approfondimento della storia dell’area in età post medievale, basato sulla lettura del Catasto terreni realizzato tra gli anni Venti e Trenta del XIX secolo.
I dati raccolti permettono di iniziare a definire le forme di occupazione dell’altura a partire dal X–XI secolo, quando il sito, mai frequentato prima, viene occupato da una torre e da strutture in legno, delle quali rimangono alcune buche di palo, poste all’interno di un’area delimitata da un taglio nel substrato geologico, forse frutto di una regolarizzazione del pendio per la costruzione di una struttura di recinzione.
Queste evidenze sono probabilmente associabili al castello di Scopetulo, attestato dal 1004, come proprietà dei Gherardeschi, che lo utilizzarono per controllare le proprietà curtensi incardinate sulla vicina pieve di S. Maria di Quaratiana e verosimilmente le sue decime.
L’insediamento, ormai al di fuori degli interessi degli stessi Gherardeschi, viene poi quasi rifondato, probabilmente per iniziativa del comune di San Miniato, tra fine XII e inizio XIII secolo: è aperta una strada che taglia in due il crinale del poggio e ai suoi lati sono costruiti nuovi edifici con un piano seminterrato, con pareti in terra rivestite da laterizi prodotti in una fornace creata subito fuori il villaggio, che poi viene dotato anche di una chiesa.
L’abbandono del castello si data tra la fine del XIII e l’inizio del XIV secolo.In this paper the results of the 2015 archaeological excavation in Migliana site (Balconevisi, San Miniato-Pisa) are presented with the study of pottery, numismatic and metal finds. The analysis of the “Catasto terreni” (beginning of XIX century) also allows to reconstruct the history of this territory in Post Medieval Age.
The collected data show a first occupation of the site in the X-XI century, when it is occupied by a tower and some wooden structures, within an area bounded by a cut in the geological substrate, perhaps the result of a regularization of the slope for the construction of a fence structure.
The archaeological remains are probably associated to the “Scopetulo” castle, mentioned for the first time in written sources in 1004 as the property of the Gherardeschi, who used it to control the curtes hinged on the nearby church of S. Maria di Quaratiana and probably its tithes.
The settlement is almost refounded between the end of the XII century and the beginnig of the XIII century, probably by the near castle of San Miniato: a road that cuts through the crest of the hill is open and to its sides new buildings and a Church are built. The houses are partially dug into the geological substrate and have earthen walls covered with bricks that are produced in a furnace created just outside the village.
The abandonment of the castle is dated between the late XIII and the beginning of the XIV century
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
Economic rebound versus imperial monopoly: Metal provenance of Early Medieval coins (9th–11th centuries) from some Italian and French mints
No full textThis paper represents the first systematic Pb isotope investigation of Italian Medieval coins and aims to provide new parameters for a general historical interpretation of coin production and circulation in Medieval Europe. We collected more than one hundred specimens, minted in a period between 9th − 14th centuries AD and coming mostly from archaeological sites of Tuscany. Here we report the results on the oldest group of (44) coins, dated between the end of the 9th and 11th centuries. All coins where previously characterized with handheld X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analysis and lead isotope composition (PbIC) was performed using an MC-ICP-Mass Spectrometer. The Carolingian coins have PbIC compatible with Melle silver district; the few Carolingian coins possibly minted in Italy (Venice and Milan) are also compatible with ore districts such as Melle and Harz Mountains. Coins in the names of Italian rulers (9th-10th century) from Lucca, Pavia and other uncertain mints show PbIC compatible with Melle, Black Forest and the Harz Mountains as well. A quite similar pattern applies to coins in the names of Otto I-III and Conrad II (10th-11th century) from Lucca and Pavia mints, although they show a better overlap with the Harz Mountains. The vast majority of early medieval coins issued by the Italian mints investigated in the present paper show isotope compositions that do not match with silver (lead-copper) mines from the Colline Metallifere district of southern Tuscany, notwithstanding their exploitation in the considered period is suggested by many settlements located near mining sites
