    This paper illustrates a new method for the recording and management of archaeological and geomorphological data in the fieldwork. It aims to show that using a new methodological approach in data collecting, particularly working with new Object Oriented technologies, can allow for obtaining very powerful results. With reference to the activity of the Italian Archaeological Mission in the Farafra Oasis, the paper will show how collecting, and cross relating, geomorphological and archaeological records in a relational Object Oriented database linked to a GIS, could perform new spatial analyses on different scale, in order to better understand the changes of the landscape and to suggest new evolution patterns

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
