La Tomba ipogeica di Badde de Janas (Putifigari, Sardegna): una nuovadomus de janascon riproduzione del tetto
No full textThis paper presents a new Sardinian neolithic rock-cut tomb of domus de janas type that
shows, in the main room, the reproduction of a double-pitched roof, as imitation of a dwelling.
The reproduction is realistic in style, completely painted of red, and can be related
to the nearest Painted Tomb of S’Incantu in the same Putifigari area. It is discussed on the
meaning of such decorations inside rock-cut tombs that reproduce rooms of rectangular plan.
However, no sure traces of rectangular huts were found in neolithic dwellings of Sardinia,
except the discussed case of Serra Linta (Sedilo). Author thinks that it’s more probable that
the reproductions of rectangular houses with double-pitched roof, insidedomus de janas,
rather represent a cult building, like the famous “Red Temple” one that it was built in the
top surface of Monte d’Accoddi altar, near Sassari
A new look at Sokolluzade Hasan Paşa’s illustrated universal history
No full textThis article revisits a universal history written in the late sixteenth century for the governor of Baghdad Sokolluzade Hasan Paşa (d. 1602) in light of a new- ly-discovered source that provides the missing concluding section of this universal history. This concluding section (Bibliothèque nationale de France Supplément turc 1322), which was announced in the index but not completed in the extant presen- tation copies (Topkapı Palace Museum Library H. 1369 and H. 1230), reinforces the idea of Sokolluzade Hasan Paşa’s imperial claims at the same time as it highlights the Baghdadi tenor of the work, as it was written in Baghdad by an author who be- longed to the governor’s household. However, the Paris manuscript presents no mere conclusion or continuation of a universal history. It is rather akin to a compilation (mecmuʿa) that juxtaposes sections from this universal history with sections from Za- kariya al-Qazwini’s (d. 1283) ʿAjāʾib al-Makhlūqāt wa Gharāʾib al-Mawjūdāt, thus recontextualizing this late-sixteenth-century universal history.Publisher versio
Prehistoric metallurgy in the western Mediterranean. New archaeological and archaeometric data from Sardinia
No full textIn the specialised literature regarding the ancient metallurgy of the western Mediterranean, archaeological and archaeometric research of the earlier phases of Sardinian metallurgy is not very common, partly due to the relative scarcity of available data.
The main objective of this work is to examine the most ancient aspects, from the Final Neolithic to the Final Eneolithic. This research integrates published data and new archaeological and archaeometric contributions, collected from two of the most important Prenuragic contexts: Su Coddu/Canelles and Monte d’Accoddi. The artefacts relative to the former of the two are datable to the Early Eneolithic and were recovered during excavations directed by the author between 2001 and 2007. The artefacts of Monte d’Accoddi were discovered during excavations undertaken by Ercole Contu (1952-1959); these belong to a longer chronological arc and are related to diverse phases of the site.
The second objective is to examine the metallurgic production of prehistoric Sardinia in the framework of the Western Mediterranean. This research is taken on through two approaches: the reorganisation and analyses of published material, based on the revision of outdated chronologies in the light of recent radiometric datings, and through drawing comparisons with production from extra-insular areas, with particular attention given to peninsular Italy
Aspetti identitari tra passato imperiale e presente repubblicano: una lettura dell’impatto sociale del Varlik Vergisi
No full textDespite the Ottoman heritage of a multi-ethnic, multi-faith and multilingual society, the Republic was inspired by a process of cultural homogenisation that produced a stigmatization of minority identities. The Varlık Vergisi, the Wealth Tax, strongly affected the conditions of the minorities marking one of the most important implementations of this process of social engineering. Faik Ökte, author of the work Varlık Vergisi Faciası, “The tragedy of the wealth tax”, which still represents a relevant source for those studying the Turkish wartime period, defines the capital tax as “one of the most shameful episodes in the financial history of Turkey”. The present article focuses on the social impact of Varlık Vergisi through the critical reading of the memories collected in Varlık Vergisi Faciası

Therapeutic approach to intrusive luxation injuries in primary dentition: a clinical follow up study
No full textAim This paper reports the results of a fifteen-years study carried out at the Dentoalveolar trauma study Centre of the University of Cagliari Dental Department, on treatment modes utilised for the recovery of periodontal injuries in primary dentition .Materials and Methods The data referred to dental injuries were collected and recovered according to Andreasen's dental trauma Classification: clinical Signs and symptoms, patient's age and gender, lesion site.The Authors focused their attention on intrusive luxation in pimary dentition, which are a very frequent trauma in children between 1-4 years of age. Results This careful conservative approach allowed the repositioning of about 60% of the 85 intruded teeth examined.It substantially reduced the number and severity of undesiderable sequelae, both local( enamel-hypoplasia) and occlusal(tooth retention), so that only in 25 % of the followed-up cases damages of the successor tooth were found in the permanent dentition.Conclusion The author conclude their study emphasizing that all those involved in paediatric Dentistry must be familiar with periodontal injuries and trained in their treatment, particularly as regard intrusive luxation in primary dentition
Nuovi dati dall'insediamento preistorico di Su Coddu-Canelles (Selargius, Cagliari)
No full textNel 2001 si è intrapreso un intervento di scavo archeologico in una parte del vasto abitato tardoneolitico e calcolitico di Su Coddu, più precisamente in località Canelles. L’indagine stratigrafica in tutta l’area dell’insediamento è portata avanti da anni dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica per le province di Cagliari e Oristano. Dal mese di settembre del 2001, ai fini dello svolgimento delle attività didattiche di laboratorio, è iniziata la collaborazione tra la Soprintendenza e le Università di Cagliari e Sassari.
La ricerca dell’università di Sassari, impostata su base interdisciplinare, è coordinata dalla scrivente e coinvolge studiosi delle Università di Sassari e Roma. L’obbiettivo è la ricostruzione del quadro ambientale e socioeconomico, con particolare attenzione alle modalità di transizione dal Neolitico all’Eneolitico e alle prime esperienze nel campo della metallurgia; esse sono testimoniate dal ritrovamento di manufatti in rame e argento, ma non sono per ora evidenti testimonianze di attività metallurgica in loco. Le analisi archeometriche su scorie provenienti da alcune strutture (gas massa, diffrattometria di raggi X su polveri (XRPD) e microscopia elettronica a scansione (SEM), corredata da microanalisi EDS), permettono di escludere che il materiale scoriaceo derivi da fusione di metalli.During 2001 archaeological excavation was begun in part of the large Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic settlement of Su Coddu, in the area of Canelles. The stratigraphic investigation of the entire area of the settlement has been an ongoing project on behalf of the Soprintendenza Archeologica of the Province of Cagliari and Oristano. Starting from September 2001, a collaboration between the Soprintendenza and the Universities of Cagliari and Sassari was initiated regarding laboratory and didactic activities.
Work by the University of Sassari, based on an interdisciplinary approach, is coordinated by the author, and involves academics from the Universities of Sassari and Rome. The objective is to create a model of environmental and socio-economic conditions, with particular attention on the process of transition from the Neolithic to the Eneolithic and to the earliest experiments in metallurgy; these are illustrated through the finds of copper and silver artefacts, although currently these are not clear evidence of metallurgical activity in loco. The archeometric analyses of slag deposits from various buildings (“gas massa”, X-ray diffraction of powders (XRPD) and electronic microscope scanning (SEM), coupled with EDS micro-analyses), have demonstrated that the waste material was not produced by smelting
Co-rhythm: Analyzing children's performative gesture-based interactions in a music composition tool
No full textIn this paper, we present preliminary insights about the classification of children's gestural input elicited from a hand movement tracking prototype for musicmaking, namely Co-Rhythm. The analysis builds on the existing gesture taxonomy in human-computer interaction, and provide insights into children's performative gestures when controlling a musical instrument sound for analysing gestural input. Based on our study with four children (aged between 8-11) and four young adults, we report the qualitative results for describing the gestural categories for analysis and informal observational notes on how children's gestural interaction with the prototype differed from young adults. This study is an initial step towards capturing the complexity of performative gestures in relation to guided vs. free version of visual cues. This study shed a light on children's gestures as an input for embodied interaction in performative tasks (e.g., music composition) as well as providing some design recommendations derived from experts from a design workshop on how to further develop cues for guiding children's performative gestures in music making
