Italian burials from the Upper Palaeolithic. Inventory and anthropological observations
Full text linkThe Upper Paleolithic burials currently known in Italy represent a rich and important group which constitutes the major part of the European sample. Among these burials, those attributed to the Gravettian are concentrated in two regions, Liguria and Puglia. Epigravettian burials were found in most parts of the peninsula and in Sicily. Grave goods are often very rich, especially in Gravettian burials. With regard to the anthropological characteristics of the buried, research has focused mainly on postcranial skeleton and on the information it can give us about weight, stature and somatic proportions. Among the Gravettians, Ligurian males reach the highest stature. The average height decreases from Gravettian to Epigravettian, as already observed in the European sample

Il cranio dell’Uomo di Altamura, ipotesi di rimozione, documentazione multimediale e studio
No full textIl progetto AltaCRANIUM si propone di valorizzare da un punto di vista scientifico e come bene culturale lo scheletro fossile noto come l'"Uomo di Altamura" ad oltre quindici anni dalla sua scoperta nel complesso carsico di Lamalunga, con particolare riferimento al distretto più diagnostico per indagini filogenetiche e tassonomiche: il cranio. L'ampia disponibilità attuale di sussidi tecnologici utili per l'acquisizione e lo studio digitale della morfologia scheletrica (tomografia computerizzata, morfometria geometrica ecc.), associata alle conoscenze raggiunte in questi ultimi anni su distribuzione spaziale e modalità tafonomiche di conservazione degli elementi scheletrici che compongono il reperto di Lamalunga, permette oggi di presentare un progetto finalizzato di estrazione in sicurezza e allo studio completo con modalità non invasive del cranio dell'Uomo di Altamura ed eventualmente della mandibola. I risultati attesi appaiono d'interesse assolutamente straordinario.The goal of the AltaCRANIUM project is to improve the scientific and cultural significance of the fossils remains known as "Uomo di Altamura" - more than fifteen years from their discovery in the karstic complex of Lamalunga - focusing on the more diagnostic skeletal district for philogeny and taxonomy: the cranium. At present, there is a number of technical supports for the study of skeletal remains, including digital facilities for the acquirement of morphological information (computered tomography, geometric morphometrics, etc.). At the same time, the increased knowledge about the distribution and taphonomy of the remains in the Lamalunga cave, permit the extraction in safety conditions and the study with non invasive methodologies of the Altamura cranium and, eventually, of its mandible. Expected results are definitively of exceptional importance

No full textTwo isolated deciduous human teeth were found during excavation of the Mousterian levels of the Tagliente Rockshelter (Verona, N-E Italy). They show morphometric characteristics typical of Neandertal teeth. The SEM analysis shows a microwear typology less differentiated than usually observed on permanent Neandertal molar

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
