Patrones de asentamiento en la Bética romana: un estudio del proceso de romanización desde el análisis arqueológico espacial
No full textThis study presents a spatial analysis of two regions in southern Iberia (Western Sierra Morena and Lands of Antequera) as a means to deepen our understanding of the Romanisation of the province Ulterior Baetica. Its theoretical foundations rely on the belief that human communities modify and adapt to their surroundings according to their changing needs (functional and symbolic, amongst many others) through time in a continuous process known as territorialisation. Hence, the analysis of the archaeological evidence distributed over the landscape may provide yet another insight into the understanding of societies in the past. Specifically, techniques of spatial and statistical analyses were used in order to characterise the spatial and territorial organisation of Western Sierra Morena and Lands of Antequera in three different chronological periods (Second Iron Age, Roman Republic, and Early Roman Empire). Such approach has allowed performing a diachronic analysis of the territorial development of each of these areas, as well as a comparative, traversal analysis of their historic and territorial evolution. As results of this research, some conclusions must be highlighted:- The suitability of the concepts of territory and landscape and of the methodologies of spatial analysis for achieving a deeper understanding of the processes of cultural change in Antiquity- The acknowledgement of the diversity of meanings and interpretations included within the term Romanisation, and of processes and experiences that must have taken place in the different provinces of the Roman Empire as part of the process known as Romanisation.- The verification of (i) the different historical and territorial developments of Western Sierra Morena and Lands of Antequera between the Second Iron Age and the Early Roman Empire, and (ii) of their emphasis on different geographic and physiographic factors, such as the existence of mineral or agricultural resources, or their connectivity to other regions- The proposal of a new interpretative model for understanding the Romanisation process, based both on the results of the spatial analyses here presented, and on other archaeological evidence also analysed in this study

Indicios arqueológicos de la vertebración del territorio y su poblamiento desde época ibérica hasta la Tardoantigüedad en la Península Ibérica.Este artículo presenta los resultados preliminares de un estudio de la Romanización de la Depresión de Antequera (Málaga, España) a través del análisis SIG del patrón de asentamiento en las épocas ibérica (siglos V a III a.C.) y romana republicana (siglos II y I a.C.), el cual forma parte de un proyecto de investigación doctoral en desarrollo sobre el proceso de Romanización en la Bética.TThis paper shows the preliminary results of a research project focused upon the Romanisation process in the Antequera Depression (Malaga, Spain). Specifically, this project aims to study the settlement patterns developed during the Iberian period (Vth to IIIrd century BC) and the Roman republican period (IInd and Ist century BC), and it is part of an on-going doctoral research on the Romanisation of the Roman province of Baetica.Aquest article presenta els resultats preliminars d'un estudi de la Romanització de la Depressió d'Antequera (Màlaga, Espanya) a traves del anàlisis SIG del patró d'assentament en les èpoques ibèriques (segles V a III a.C.) i romana republicana (segles II i I a.C.), el qual forma part d'un projecte d'investigació doctoral en desenvolupament sobre el procés de Romananització en la Bètica
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
Landschaftsarchäologie in einer hispanischen Montanregion: Zur Frage der Romanisierung der westlichen Sierra Morena
No full textVariations 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
