Saint-Martin-de-Corléans (Aosta): new remarks on the megalithic area (Neolithic- Bronze age), Appendix: radiocarbon dating analyses of the post and stele alignments phase
No full textGli AA presentano alcune osservazioni di
approfondimento sui risultati degli studi pluridisciplinari
svolti, a partire dall’ampia documentazione
delle ricerche condotte da Franco
Mezzena negli anni 1970-1990 sull’area
megalitica di Saint-Martin-de-Corléans. Gli
studi rientrano in un progetto, coordinato dalla
Soprintendenza di Aosta e da un Comitato
scientifico incaricato tra il 2008 e il 2018 di
seguire la valorizzazione del sito e curarne
una edizione scientifica.
Il quadro riassuntivo di ricostruzione storica
conferma ed evidenzia come Saint-Martinde-
Corléans sia un sito-chiave per la comprensione
delle azioni di strutturazione e vita
di un luogo di culto e cerimoniale neolitico che
nel tempo viene trasformato in area funeraria.
La verifica qui esposta sulla sequenza cronologica
e le successioni delle azioni succedutisi
nell’area megalitica a partire dall’aratura,
primo intervento nella metà/fine del 5 mill.
A.C., confermano e completano quanto illustrato
nel volume recentemente edito. Gli approfondimenti
sui rituali funerari propongono
un primo inquadramento nel contesto delle
aree che si sviluppano a Nord e Sud delle Alpi.
L’area megalitica di Aosta per la ricchezza di
documentazione e il potenziale informativo
assume una maggiore importanza anche alla
luce delle recenti ricerche sviluppatesi intorno
all’arco alpino.The Authors present some in-depth observations
on the results of the multidisciplinary
studies carried out, starting from the extensive
documentation of the research conducted
by Franco Mezzena in the years 1970-1990,
on the megalithic area of Saint-Martin-de-
Corléans.
The studies are part of a project coordinated
by the Aosta Superintendency and by a Scientific
Committee in charge, between 2008
and 2018, of monitoring the valorisation
of site and of editing a scientific publication.
The synthetic framework of the historical reconstruction
proposed for the megalithic area
confirms and highlights how Saint-Martinde-
Corléans is a key site for the understanding
of the structural actions and the lifetime of a
Neolithic cult and ceremonial site that over
time was transformed into a funerary area.
Here we confirm the assessment of the chronological
sequence and the succession of actions
that took place in the megalithic area starting
from the ploughing action, identified as
the first intervention which took place in the
middle/end of the 5th mill. B.C.. The paper
integrates the results presented in the recently
published book.
The studies on funerary rituals allows the site
to be integrated into a wider context in the
regions north and south of the Alps. Recent
developments in research on circum-Alpine
megalithism confirm the leading position of
the site of Aosta, by the richness of its documentation
and its potential to provide informatio
Scenari ricompositivi ed esperienze di valorizzazione dell’Area megalitica di Saint-Martin-de-Corléans ad Aosta
No full textLa musealizzazione del sito di Saint-Martin-de-Corléans ha offerto la possibilità di contestualizzare i dati sito-specifici in un quadro
territoriale più ampio e di evidenziare le relazioni tra la storia dell’uomo e le trasformazioni del paesaggio. Presentiamo qui l’approccio
metodologico impiegato per la realizzazione degli “scenari ricompositivi” presentati nel prodotto multimediale proiettato su grande
schermo all’interno del percorso museale dell’Area megalitica. La ricomposizione delle informazioni archeologiche e paleoambientali
risulta utile sia per fini scientifici che per fini espositivi, in cui la percezione della storia integrata del paesaggio diventa più intellegibile
quando realizzata in modo evocativo.Recompositive scenarios and experiences of valorisation of the megalithic area of Saint-Martin-de-Corléans in Aosta
The musealization of the site of Saint-Martin-de-Corléans offered the chance to contextualise site-specific information in a wider
territorial framework and to highlight the relationships between human history and environmental changes. Here we present the methodological
approach used to produce “recompositive scenarios” displayed in the multimedia product screened in the museum itinerary of
the Megalithic Area. Merging archaeological and paleoenvironmental information is useful both for scientific and exhibition purposes,
where the perception of an integrated history of landscapes becomes intelligible when evocatory.

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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
