No full textThe Citadel of Erbil. The Italian Archaeological and Topographic Activities
No full textThe fruitful collaboration between the High Commission for the Erbil Citadel Revitalization, the Italian Cooperation Project of MAE-IsIAO and the Italian Archaeological Mission in Iraqi Kurdistan of Sapienza, University of Rome & IsIAO allowed to carry out a series of activities aimed at the study and documentation of the Citadel of Erbil. The main activities consist in a set of geophysical prospections with Ground Penetrating Radar and in a topographic survey of the Citadel, which has provided the basis for a GIS platform, essential for managing the collected data. These activities are still ongoing, and preliminary results are extremely interesting. The GIS platform and the topographic data proved to be crucial for a proper documentation of the site and the data obtained from the prospections, in addition to confirming the existence of a complex archaeological stratigraphy, provide interesting clues about the presence of large defensive structures

Archaeological and ethnographic survey in the Paikuli Area (Iraqi Kurdistan)
Full text linkThe Italian Archaeological Mission in Iraqi Kurdistan (MAIKI) of the Sapienza University of Rome aims to study the archaeological, historical, linguistic and cultural development of the Kurdish region through a wide historical period. MAIKI started by focusing on the archaeological and philological analysis of the Sasanian site of Paikuli. In recent years, however, investigation has been expanded to include an accurate survey of the area between the Dyala and Basara rivers, around the main road that connects the city of Chamchamal to Darbandikhan, in order to implement a complete and updated archaeological map of the entire territory. The continuing work includes a preparatory study of the few bibliographical records available and an overall analysis of the accessible, current and historical satellite imagery in order to obtain a reliable context for the results of archaeological field surveys. During the field campaigns, which are currently suspended because of the political instability and war in the region, archaeological material was collected in all the visited sites and a detailed morphological and archaeometric study was set up. A complete map of the currently inhabited villages of the area has been compiled because up-to-date base cartography of the area did not exist; this new map has proved to be useful not only for locating archaeological records but also for the activities of the ethnological research that joined the Mission in 2013. The area suffered very much during Saddam Hussein’s Al-Anfal campaign when all of the people were forced to leave. The ethnological study will help to reveal the impact that these recent traumatic events have had on the preservation of the cultural heritage whilst supplying rich documentation for further investigation, including on relationship between man and territory, local economy, migration policies and religious practice
Paolo Ognibene. “Sguardi incrociati greco-scitici”
Full text linkPaolo Ognibene presents a rich overview of the Greek texts dealing with Scythians, discussing the different visions that emerge from these sources and how the Greek vision of these populations evolved, starting from an initial focus on the characteristics of justice and equality in their society, to then emphasise their more violent and ferocious characters. Based on the Greek sources and the few Persian sources available, the author also tries to analyse, beyond the difficulties in correctly..

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
