The architecture of Abra de Minas, a site with late/inca evidence in the Salta puna, Argentina
No full textFil: Coloca, Federico I. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentina. Universidad de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. Instituto de Arqueología; Argentina.The architectural evidence of Abra de Minas site, located at an altitude of over 4200 meters above sea level in Salar de Ratones Basin, the Salta puna, Argentina, is introduced. Abra de Minas is distinguished by a large number of architectural structures. In addition, the site has a wealth of archaeological material recovered from surface and stratigraphic contexts. Within the artifactual set the high concentration of ceramics, both Inca and that associated with later occupations of northwestern Argentina, stand out. The radiocarbon dates carried out to date confirm an occupation between the end of the eight century and mid-fifteenth century AD. As this was the first architectural study of the site, the spatial distribution and morphology of the enclosures (plant design, size, etc.) were analyzed and the materials and construction techniques of the structures described. Although there is prior evidence of occupation at the site, the morphological and construction characteristics of the architecture of Abra de Minas indicate an effective domination of the sector by the Inca empire.Se presenta la evidencia arquitectónica de Abra de Minas, sitio localizado en la cuenca del salar de Ratones, puna de Salta, Argentina, a una altura que supera los 4200 msnm. Abra de Minas sobresale por una gran cantidad de estructuras arquitectónicas. A su vez, el sitio cuenta con una alta representación de material arqueológico recuperado tanto en contextos de superficie como en capa. Dentro de este conjunto artefactual se destaca la alta concentración de cerámica de filiación incaica, como también de otras asociadas con contextos tardíos del Noroeste argentino. Los fechados realizados hasta el momento presentan una cronología de entre fines del siglo VII DC y mediados del XV DC. Por ser una primera aproximación al estudio arquitectónico del sitio, se decidió llevar a cabo un análisis de la distribución espacial y la morfología de los recintos (diseño de plantas, tamaño y superficie), como también una descripción de los materiales y de las técnicas utilizadas en la construcción de dichas estructuras. Si bien se encuentran evidencias que indican una utilización del territorio desde momentos anteriores, las características morfológicas y constructivas de la arquitectura de Abra de Minas indican un dominio efectivo del sector por parte el Imperio incaic
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

Instituto de Arqueología; Argentina.This paper presents the archaeological information of Cueva Inca Viejo site, located in Salar de Ratones basin (4.312 m a.s.l.), Puna of Salta, Northwest Argentina, dated ca. 860 AP. The presence of high diversity of archaeological materials from different sectors of the Puna, and other environments such as mesothermal valleys and yungas, allow us recognizing circuits of large scale interaction. Processes of macro-regional interaction are discussed from this evidence. In this regard, Cueva Inca Viejo could have been an important site in the traffic of information, goods and resources of caravan individuals and / or groups. In particular, the site is highlighted as a place of ritual importance, characterized by different designs of rock art, including llama caravans, and evidence such as bird feathers and cebil seeds from the yungas.En este trabajo se presenta la información arqueológica del sitio Cueva Inca Viejo, ubicado en la cuenca del salar de Ratones a una altura de 4.312 m s.n.m., en la Puna de Salta, Noroeste argentino, fechado en ca. 860 AP. La presencia de una alta diversidad de materiales arqueológicos procedentes de distintos sectores de la Puna, y de otros ambientes como valles mesotermales y yungas, permite dar cuenta de circuitos de interacción de escala amplia. A partir de esta evidencia se busca discutir procesos de interacción macrorregional. En este sentido, la Cueva Inca Viejo habría sido un sitio importante en el traslado de información, bienes y recursos por parte de individuos y/o grupos caravaneros. En particular, se destaca su rol como un sitio de importancia ritual, caracterizado por distintos diseños de arte rupestre, incluyendo caravanas de llamas, y evidencia como plumas de aves y semillas de cebil procedentes de las yungas
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
