    The paper exposes the results of the preliminary investigations set up by the University of Padua in San Basilio of Ariano nel Polesine (RO). This area revealed a palimpsest of traces left by a long-term human occupation, from a pre-roman (VI-V century BC) multi-ethnic port of trade where Etruscans, Greeks and Venetians coexisted, to a Roman age villa/mansio, and finally in Early Middle Ages.The environmental system that characterizes the settlement, located by the ancient coastline near the branch of the Po di Ariano (today Po di Goro), determined, together with the action of man, an overlap of landscape traces. This study focuses on the different scales adopted by the team of University of Padua in the field investigation. First of all, data from remote sensing were analyzed in order to recognize traces left by different natural and human agents in the past. The second step involved the surface, through survey and geophysics, while the third scale investigated the stratigraphy with cores. With the integration of three different lenses of observation, the team managed to get geomorphological and environmental data which were fundamental for setting excavation tests in 2019 and 2021

    Il presente volume raccoglie gli Atti del Convegno di Studi dal titolo "Le lenti del passato. Approcci multiscalari all'archeologia", tenutosi a Padova dal 21 al 22 dicembre 2021 e organizzato dagli allievi della Scuola di Specializzazione in Beni Archeologici dell'Università di Padova con il sostegno del Dipartimento dei Beni Culturali. Raccoglie e organizza in quattro sezioni (Macroscala, Mesoscala, Scala di intransito, Microscala) queste ricerche, rappresentando non solo l'esito editoriale di una fruttuosa esperienza di confronto ma anche uno spunto per futuri incontri di studi che vedano come protagonisti gli allievi delle Scuole di Specializzazione italiane

    Nuovi dati dalla modellazione 3D delle sepolture dell’età del Ferro della necropoli del Piovego (PD)

    3D models are often employed in archaeology for different purposes like research, restoration and valorization. The goal of this research, carried out at the University of Padua, is to define and apply a methodology to create morphometrically accurate 3D models of the burials of the sample with the respective grave goods. The burials of the sample are 3, they are all cremations from the necropolis of Piovego, an Iron Age necropolis of the ancient Padua (Italy), that was used between the end of the sixth century BC until the beginning of the fourth century BC. For this research were used both 3D modeling and 3D scanning techniques to obtain the digital 3D models of the grave goods and the objects in perishable material. Every single model thus obtained was placed in a digital environment that replicated the burial to which it belonged. In this way the spatial relationships between all objects were verified in three dimensions; in cases where anomalous intersections have occurred, different positions have been reassigned. These 3D reconstructions have shown to have a good informative potential since they made it possible to evaluate the correct topological position of the objects and to make visible the shape and appearance of the elements in perishable material that are rarely present in the archaeological record

    Baldaria di Cologna Veneta (VR): assetto topografico e stima dell’estensione di un sito della prima età del Ferro nella pianura veronese

    In this work, we present the results of a study centered on the Iron Age site of Baldaria di Cologna Veneta (Verona, Italy), located on a ridge in the Agno-Guà River between the Colli Berici and Colli Euganei. The site has been seamlessly occupied between the 8th and the half 6th century BC, but it is known only from decontextualized materials collected in the last two centuries, both from the cemetery and the settlement. Some previous studies tried to spatially locate these finds and reconstruct the settlement pattern, reviewing the local records and the available materials. Here, we will address the problem of the extension of the site. Until now, there is no agreement on the exact shape and extension of the settlement and some of the hypotheses provided in the literature are not grounded on the available data (or only partially so). For that reason, we propose a model based on a mixed approach that uses spatial analysis, archaeological data and local geomorphology. This model allowed us to propose a settlement extension of approximately 30 ha

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    Full text link
    We 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
