Agropastoral Taskscapes and Seasonal Warfare in the Southern Andes During the Regional Developments Period (Thirteenth–Fifteenth Centuries)
No full textBuilding on the analysis of settlement data from two environmentally contrasting regions of the Southern Andes, Quebrada de Humahuaca (Jujuy, Argentina) and Northern Lípez (Potosí, Bolivia), I argue for two working hypotheses regarding the practice of war before the Inka expansion (thirteenth? fifteenth centuries). Firstly, I propose that the variability observed in defensive settlements can be partially explained by reference to the different roles that pukaras played in broader territorial strategies, which always involved other locations and activities that were important for the reproduction of the communities who built them. Secondly, I argue that warfare was restricted to the dry season, when the labor demands of farming and herding were at their lowest levels and populations could aggregate in defensive locations.Fil: Nielsen, Axel Emil.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Interethnic Conflicts in the Highlands of Northwestern Argentina During the Late Intermediate Period: A Case Study
No full textThe aim of this chapter is to present novel interpretations regarding theinterethnic conflicts that characterized the Late Intermediate Period in most of the Andean Area. In particular, we analyzed two regions within the Province of Jujuy, Northern Argentina: The Puna, an extensive highland with wide endorheic basins, and Quebrada de Humahuaca, a long and narrow valley on its eastern border. We discuss the differential presence of strategic and defensive settlements, pucaras, in both areas and the role played at a regional scale by the archaeological site of Pueblo Viejo de Tucute. We used an independent indicator, rock art depicting conflict scenes, and analyzed the spatial location and characteristics of these images. We propose that, although Pueblo Viejo de Tucute does not feature any of the typical traits of the pucaras in the region, it was indeed a settlement with clear defensive purposes. Furthermore, we hypothesize that some of the human figures identified in the rock artpanels located in the geographical and ecological boundary between Puna andQuebrada could be referring to the ancient inhabitants of this archaeological site.Fil: Albeck, Maria Ester.

Integración de datos arqueológicos, radiocarbónicos y geofísicos para la construcción de una cronología de Yocavil y alrededores

No full textIn the Archaeological Locality Rincón Chico (valley of Santa Maria or Yocavil, Catamarca), after more than 20 years of systematic work, 36 radiocarbon dates have been obtained with results extending from the X to the XVII century. Having analyzed the relation between the radiocarbon datings with the stratigraphic information, considering the characteristics of the dated samples, the degrees of certainty in the associations, and regarding the formation processes that could take part in each case, we reviewed here the associations of the dated events with the pottery fragment samples. From these data and linking with previous chronological proposals, we separated the set in four phases. By means of statistic analyses, a model that represents an approach to the chronological sequence of the locality is proposed, and we explore some implications in relation to particular chronological problems and to the data published for other sites of the region.En la localidad arqueológica Rincón Chico (valle de Santa María o Yocavil, Catamarca), luego de más de 20 años de trabajo sistemático, se han realizado 36 fechados radiocarbónicos con resultados que abarcan un rango cronológico desde el siglo X hasta el XVII de la era. Luego de analizar la relación entre los fechados obtenidos con la información estratigráfica, considerando las características de las muestras datadas, los grados de certeza en las asociaciones, y estimando los procesos de formación que pudieron intervenir en cada caso, revisamos aquí las relaciones de los eventos fechados con las muestras de fragmentos cerámicos. A partir de estos datos y en vinculación con propuestas cronológicas previas, separamos el conjunto cerámico en cuatro fases.Por medio de análisis estadísticos, se propone un modelo que representa una aproximación a la secuencia cronológica de la localidad y exploramos algunas implicancias de este modelo en relación a problemas cronológicos concretos y a los datos publicados para otros sitios de la región

Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
