Kamid el-Loz: report on the excavations 2010 and 2011
No full textOur work program in 2010 and 2011 was devoted to both the further exploration of the Late Bronze Age city and to the excavation of the Middle Bronze Age settlement resp. city of Kamid el-Loz. We examined two areas: the palace and its immediate neighborhood and the zone west of the temple. In the palace sector we focused on the reconstruction of the layout, the typology and the building history of the Late and Middle Bronze Age palace buildings and on the exploration of the monumental structure edified in the eastern vicinity of the Middle Bronze Age palace most likely even belonging to the palace as such. West of the temple our research centred on investigating the settlement remains older than the already known Late Bronze Age buildings. First insights into the utilization of this areahave been gained with the help of a sounding in the eastern part of this settlement domain, where we came upon a large pit containing a mass burial which had been disposed here during the MBA II.Again, the central theme of our excavations represents our constant concern with the events occurring in Kamid el-Loz during the Middle and Late Bronze Age. Thus, we deal with the architectural developments; we reconstruct space design as well as functions and activities located in the houses and areas within the settlements. We analyze the inventories and installations of the buildings, the pottery, tools and further small find categories and last but not least explore the relationships between the life of the living and the "life" of the dead

The Archaeology of Economic Systems in the Central Levant during the Middle Bronze Age: A Case Study from Kamid el-Loz (Lebanon)
Full text linkThis dissertation investigates the economic systems operating during the Middle Bronze Age (2000-1600 BCE) at Kamid el-Loz, a decentralized settlement situated in the Beqa’a Valley of Lebanon. The scope is to examine trade structures that involved peripheral exchange centers found throughout the Beqa’a Valley and their interaction with the commercial hubs of the Lebanese coast and the hinterland settlements of southwestern Syria. During this time, settlements throughout the ancient Near East witnessed a process of regeneration that followed the collapse of Early Bronze Age IV (c. 2200-2000 BCE) societies. The development of more complex economic networks and political relationships, as well as the arrival of new ethnic groups, characterized this renewal. This dissertation sets forth two main research questions: How can the material culture and the geographical setting of Kamid el-Loz shed light on the economic systems of the central Levant and southwestern Syria? And, to what degree was the Beqa’a Valley integrated into the cultural milieu of the Eastern Mediterranean during the Middle Bronze Age? To answer these queries, the ceramic vessels found in the storage rooms of the Kamid el-Loz palace were analyzed and thematic maps using Geographic Information System (GIS) software were created to reconstruct the commercial paths through which materials circulated. The results from this study indicate that Kamid el-Loz had a well structured palatial organization that shared the same international exchange networks that involved the coastal Middle Bronze Age centers. The Beqa’a Valley was linked to this greater system of trade through paths used to surmount the obstacles posed to circulation by the mountain ranges that border this area. Interactions between these different regions are visible in the material culture recovered at Kamid el-Loz, which evidences a process of adaptation and selection of non-local motifs. One contribution of this project to the archaeology of the Middle Bronze Age Levant is the reconstruction of the ceramic vessel economy of Kamid el-Loz. In addition, the recreation of ancient networking trails in the Beqa’a Valley will provide a model useful for the understanding of exchange systems across the region, especially in the central Levant. Finally, determining the level of foreign interaction among settlements belonging to three different geographic areas will contribute to the social sciences by providing insight into how ancient societies received and reacted to external cultural influences
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

Variations on the Author
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
