Nuove ricerche archeologiche a Capo di Ponte (Valle Camonica, BS): Dos dell'Arca e l'area dei "Quattro Dossi".
No full textThe archaeological area "Quattro Dossi" represents one of the most important protohistoric sites in Valle Camonica (BS). Discovered in the 1950s, and excavated in 1962 (dir. E. Anati), the small hill of Dos dell'Arca is the southernmost and the most well-known of the four rocky hills comprising the whole site. The excavations carried out in 1962 at Dos dell'Arca revealed evidence of the first human frequentation in the area, dating back to the Late Neolithic / Early Copper Age, as well as later phases of stable human presence in Middle-Late Bronze Age - the "Terramare" culture- and in the Late Iron Age, displaying cultural features of key importance to the alpine area of Lombardy. At this site 11 rock surfaces with prehistoric engravings were also documented. The engraved figures date to two main periods: the Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic and the Iron Age, and are of great iconographic interest, especially considering three of them were found below archaeological context. Thanks to a survey project carried out from 2015 to 2017 by the University of Pavia in collaboration with Soprintendenza Archeologia della Lombardia, several new engraved rocks have been discovered in the "Quattro Dossi" area. This paper presents the new findings in Dos dell'Arca, amounting to a total of 24 new engraved rocks, all located around the perimeter of the previous excavations. Of these rocks, three are fully documented: n. 24 - sector A displays scenes of major interest to the iconography of the Irn Age, with a peculiar depiction of a single-pillared hut, animals, warriors and horsemen carrying shields, spears and swords, while in sector B there is a geometric configuration of lines and shapes generally believed to be "topographical" and dated to the Late Neolithic or Early Copper Age. Rock 28, datable to the Iron Age, shows a huge anthropomorphic figure with arms held high and what appears to be a helmet, below two figures of palette, a symbol often related to funerary practices, while Rock 33 only presents geometric elements, abstract motifs usually dated to Late Neolithic/Early Copper Age
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
Il Bronzo tardo tra il fiume Adda e il lago di Garda: un quadro d'insieme
No full textThe Late Bronze Age between the River Adda and Lake Garda: an overview - Between the river Adda and the Garda Lake is an area with a great variety of geographical zones, in which a number of excavations and field surveys has been conducted. Research has dealt with various types of sites such as settlements, burials, cult locations, caves and rock-shelters and places devoted to specialized activities. A wealth of new data allows for the study of shared territorial strategies and common patterns in both settlement foundation and subsequent evolution through the extent of the considered area, during the Late Bronze Age (13th-10th cent BCE); a general trend appears to be the abandonment of the settlements at the end of the Bronze Age. This study focuses mainly on material culture aspects, with special attention to its most recognizable traits. Regarding the cultural aspects, this study reveals a composite picture in which the material culture of marginal areas show a number of features similar to the ones of the major and better known cultural groups of LBA Northern Italy: the sites of the north-western area appear connected with the Canegrate and Protogolasecca groups, while a small number of villages in the upper part of the plain, such as Calcinato – Ponte San Marco show some of the typical aspects of the Alpine Culture of Luco, to the north. As for the eastern part of the area, there are hints of a connection to the Protoveneti and central-Italic cultures, particularly in strategically located sites with respect to certain resources or road networks (Lovere, Cicola, Monte Guarda). Overall, a complex and varied state of affairs in which multi-directional and diverse contacts seem to be active, sometimes in the same areas and during the same period
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
