La chiesa battesimale di San Pietro in Pava San Giovanni d'Asso - SI - Italia): un'incontro di dati stratigrafici, studio territoriale e attestazioni d'archivio
No full textLo scavo del complesso archeologico di Pava (provincia di Siena) iniziato nel 2004, è giunto alla quinta campagna, ed è parte integrante del progetto di ampio respiro che coinvolge la Val d’Asso. Il complesso archeologico emerso per il momento è composto dalla struttura religiosa della pieve di S. Pietro in Pava, ricordata per la prima volta in un documento del 714 relativo alla disputa fra il vescovo di Siena e quello di Arezzo. I ritrovamenti hanno contribuito a definire parte della planimetria dell’edificio religioso principale e ne hanno messo in luce un’articolazione che contribuisce a delineare l’aspetto di un complesso ecclesiastico piut-tosto consistente. La struttura religiosa si completa di una grande area cimiteriale che al momento ha superato i 760 individui

'A date with Barbara': paracosms of the self in biographies of Barbara Newhall Follett
No full textIn 1927, 13-year-old Barbara Newhall Follett published her first book, the critically acclaimed novel, The House Without Windows and Eepersip's Life There.
Twelve years later, on December 7, 1939, 25-year-old Barbara quarrelled with her husband and left her apartment in Boston with $30 in her pocket, and a notebook. She was never seen again.
The House Without Windows is set in a paracosm (Farksolia) she invented, and ends with the metamorphosis of the titular character into a 'fairy-a wood nymph … invisible for ever to all mortals, save those few who have minds to believe, eyes to see'.
In Barbara's (auto)biography, The Unconscious Autobiography of a Child Genius (1966), written by Harold Grier McCurdy 'in collaboration with Helen Follett' (Barbara's mother), the authors wonder: 'Can we be far wrong in substituting Barbara's name for Eepersip's in the closing scenes of [House Without Windows]?
In this paper, I grapple with the formal and ethical challenges of writing about Barbara Newhall Follett, and the ways her family and others have approached the problem of writing her unresolved life story: a child raised and educated in solitude, a celebrated 'natural' child author, a young woman whose disappearance remains unsolved. The paper will explore the ways in which adults write the stories of children's lives, as nostalgia and fable, as fairytale and paracosmic narrative, and the ways in which Barbara's biographers have, consciously and unconsciously, created biographical concordances, or paracosms of the self, in seeking to make meaning of her life's story

Il popolamento tardoromano e altomedievale nella bassa valle dell’Ombrone. Progetto Carta Archeologica della Provincia di Grosseto
No full textIl contributo ha lo scopo presentare gli obiettivi, la strategia e i primi risultati del Progetto Carta Archeologica della Provincia di Grosseto. Dal 2000 l’attività di ricerca si è concentrata sulla bassa valle dell’Ombrone (GR). In questa sede presentiamo una chiave di lettura dei patterns del popolamento che caratterizzarono le dinamiche insediative del campione territoriale in questione tra IV e X secolo. Il contesto indagato si presta particolarmente ad un’analisi dei rapporti socio-economici tra area costiera e immediato entroterra, essendo caratterizzato dal passaggio della viabilità principale romana (Aurelia Vetus) e soprattutto dalla presenza della direttrice fluviale costa-interno costituita dal fiume Ombrone. Il record archeologico relativo al periodo tardo-romano si è avvalso inoltre di dati piuttosto rappresentativi acquisiti nel corso di rinvenimenti più o meno fortuiti degli anni ’80 e ’90 del secolo scorso. Il contributo delle nostre indagini consiste nell’opportunità di comprendere in maniera capillare forme insediative e relazioni inter-site per la fase compresa tra pieno IV e VI secolo. Tuttavia il dato più rilevante è rappresentato dalle acquisizioni relative al periodo compreso tra VII e X secolo, grazie soprattutto al rinvenimento dell’abitato altomedievale di Podere Serratone e alle indagini intra-site che hanno interessato il villaggio d’altura di Poggio Cavolo. L’analisi di questi due poli demici altomedievali, condotta grazie all’applicazione sistematica di nuove tecnologie (survey aereo, rilievi GPS, indagini geofisiche) oltre che ai tradizionali strumenti del field walking, e allo studio dei corredi ceramici che caratterizzano i due siti consente di delineare alcuni caratteri locali del popolamento altomedievale e delle forme insediative maggiormente rappresentate
