Making and using ceramics: on the role of technical events in the generation of functional types
No full textThe study of the surface modifications of contemporary ceramics in a traditional nepalese community reveals important patterns and processes of alteration that might be useful for approaching the study of archaeological ceramic

No full textThe 4th National Ethnoarchaeology Meeting was held in Rome from the 17th-19th of May 2006. The meeting principally focused on the formation of archaeological sites in their multiple aspects: domestic work, craft activities, the conduct of social and ritual activities that lead to the formation of sediment and debris object, which are typically involved in post-depositional processes of variable complexity. Also considered were those behaviors which, although clearly observable in living cultural environments, do not leave traces in the soil or on other materials and therefore are not recognized and diagnosed. This book presents forty papers from five of the sessions held at the meeting. The five sessions are: 1) Formative processes - production facilities. Working and processing of materials; 2) Formative processes – structures; 3) Formative processes - territorial strategies; 4) Formative processes - symbols and rituals; 5) Formative processes - urban realities
Nautica tradizionale e navigazione antica
No full textIl contributo è dedicato alla nautica antica (tecniche e pratiche di navigazione, ma anche cultura nautica nel senso più ampio), in un'ottica comparata col dato etnografico relativo alla marineria tradizionale del XIX-prima metà del XX secolo. Attraverso un'analisi metodologicamente corretta del dato etnografico, si possono riscontrare molte coincidenze tra antichità e tradizione, sia come espressioni di una continuità di lunga durata sia come risposte tecnico-pratiche ad esigenze rimaste sostanzialmente simili fino al tramonto della vela.The paper deals with the ancient seamanship (navigation techniques and practices, but also the broader nautical culture), through a comparative investigation with ethnographic data on traditional seamanship from the 19th to the first half of the 20th century. Thanks to a correct methodological analysis of the ethnographic data, many coincidences can be found between antiquity and tradition, both as expressions of a long-lasting continuity and as technical-practical responses to needs that remained substantially similar until the end of transportation and fishing by sail
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
