Sperlonga (LT) : indagini nella "Villa della Grotta" : Campagna di scavo 2014
No full textIn September 2014 the University of Milan, under the direction of Prof. Fabrizio Slavazzi and in collaboration with the Superintendency for Archaeological Heritage of Lazio, conducted new excavations on the site of Sperlonga (LT). The activities were concentrated in the so-called "Villa della Grotta", especially in the hilly portion called Area V. In this part, in correspondence of Rooms V12 and V15, the excavation allowed the identification of an important sequence of transformations that, between the first and the fifth century AD, characterized this part of the villa. We are now able to qualify the area at a functional level, and re-define the northern limit of the original phase of the complex

I forni e le cucine nella "villa della Grotta" a Sperlonga (LT)
No full textStudio sui forni per alimenti e sugli ambienti destinati alla preparazione del cibo nella villa "della Grotta" a Sperlonga (LT), una residenza imperiale. Si esaminano l'allestimento di tali strutture, gli elementi di arredo funzionale e le trasformazioni subite nel tempo. Il tema degli ambienti di servizio di questo tipo è scarsamente trattato riguardo alle ville imperiali
A New Thermal Building in Gortyna (Creta): the So-Called “Terme Milano”
No full textThe paper deals with a new thermal building in Roman Gortyna (Creta), which was totally unknown before 2003 and then it has been excavated by the University of Milan since 2003 till now. The building is known as “Terme Milano” to distinguish it from other thermal buildings already discovered in Gortyna, and due to the fact that it has been successfully brought to light by the University of Milan, thanks also to SAIA (Italian School of Archaeology at Athens) and MAE (Ministero degli Affari Esteri) funding, and in association with the Greek Ephoria at Gortyna.
The bath was built around 300 A.D., covering the northern side of a large square (m. 80 x 80), probably surrounded by colonnades, south of the so-called “Pretorio”. The diggings have unearthed a bath with vivid mosaic decorations, beautifull polychrome marble floors and fragments of marble statues, probably representing young naked athletes, the gods Hygieia and Asklepios etc. (see also G. Bejor’s abstract about the new Hyghieia head from Gortyna, presented to the Congress too).
Our aim is to show how the large bath building developed through the ages until the end of the city monumental history during the VIIth century A.D., when some byzantine private houses were built on the ruins of the thermal complex, used as caves for building materials and for a little limekiln. We would also discuss how the building was inserted in the ancient city plan, how it functioned as there were other thermae in Roman Gortyna, and finally how its model distinguished from the ones of the other bath buildings in Gortyna
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
