Highland settling in the Early Mesolithic. Insight from the record of Cima Dodici open-air sites, Venetian pre-Alps (Italy)
No full textOn the southern slope of Cima Dodici, a peak located along the northernmost fringe of the Asiago Plateau, Mesolithic sites between 2000 and 2100 m of elevation represent a unique context for investigating Mesolithic settlement patterns at the onset of Holocene. This study integrates previous excavation data, re-evaluation of surface collections, and the analysis of the spatial distribution of lithic assemblages from two excavated sites, providing an updated framework for understanding the sites and their main characteristics. Despite potential post-depositional disturbances, the pattern at CD3 reveals a possible organization of activities, with designated areas for specific tasks. In contrast, the spatial distributions at CD9 appear to be influenced by the accumulation of artifacts in depressions. Surface collection data from other sites provide additional information about the settlement network and potential functional differences between sites, although the scarcity of diagnostic artifacts in some assemblages, limits interpretation. The study highlights the complexity of Mesolithic settlement pattern on the Asiago Plateau, highlighting adaptations to the specific environmental conditions of mid and high-altitude settlings
Un nouveau site du Paléolithique supérieur à Chigiano « U Pia » (San Severino Marche, MC, Italie)
No full textDans le cadre du programme de recherche structurant de l’École française de Rome
2022-2026 « L’Italie paléolithique » et de l’axe portant sur les Abruzzes et les Marches1,
une première campagne de sondages mécaniques a été réalisée sur la commune de San
Severino Marche en juillet et septembre 2023. Elle a mené à la découverte d’un site du
Paléolithique supérieur au lieu‐dit « Chigiano U Pia2 » (CUP). Elle fait suite à un travail
en archives, bibliothèques et musées, à partir des carnets manuscrits du Docteur
Domenico Pascucci qui a consigné avec minutie la découverte de près de
2 000 industries lithiques à la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe siècle sur le territoire de la
commune. La superposition de la carte géologique aux lieux de découverte a permis de
cibler des terrains à sonder, dans l’objectif de mettre au jour des sites inédits du
Paléolithique et d’affiner le cadre géochronologique et paléoenvironnemental régional
pour le Pléistocène
Studio dell’industria litica del sito all’aperto di Comignolo (Bagno di Romagna, FC). Prospettive per la conoscenza del popolamento mesolitico dell’Appennino Romagnolo
No full textLe conoscenze sulle frequentazioni mesolitiche dell’Appennino romagnolo sono scarse e frammentarie. Il ritrovamento e lo scavo di un nuovo sito preistorico all’aperto sulle sponde del Lago di Ridracoli (FC), in prossimità del Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna, ha fornito nuovi dati circa il popolamento dell’area nel primo Olocene. Lo studio dell’industria litica ha evidenziato l’esistenza di un contesto complesso, che deve aver vissuto più episodi di frequentazione tra il Sauveterriano e il primo Neolitico, ma la cui lettura cronologico-ambientale è complicata dal carattere disturbato del deposito. Il sito di Comignolo viene a costituire un’inedita e importante fonte di conoscenze in un ambito territoriale ancora poco noto, ma importante al fine di ricostruire le strategie insediative degli ultimi cacciatori-raccoglitori e dei primi agricoltori tra Emilia-Romagna e Toscana.Our current reconstruction of Mesolithic settlement in the Romagna Apennines is still limited. However, the recent discovery and excavation of an open-air site near Lake Ridracoli in the National Park of Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona and Campigna has provided new insights into early Holocene settlement in this area. The study of the lithic industry found at the site has revealed the existence of different frequentations likely ranged between the Sauveterrian and early Neolithic, but the disturbance of the original record complicates the interpretation of the site’s chronology and environmental conditions. Nonetheless, the Comignolo site represents a significant source of knowledge about a relatively unknown period in the Romagna region, shedding light on the settlement patterns of the last hunter-gatherers and the first farmers in the area
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
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
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
