Ripostiglio di bronzi della prima età del ferro a Sant’imbenia - Alghero (Sassari)
No full text"During the 2010 excavation at the nuragic settlement of Sant’imbenia (Alghero) an important hoard was found, containing 42 bronze and copper elements. the archeological complex of Sant’imbenia is located in the territory of Alghero, in the inner part of the Porto Conte bay, very close to the sea shore. the position was chosen in order to control the natural harbour, that, together with the natural resources in the surrounding area (copper, iron, silver deposits, pastures, cultivable land), made the village a strategically and favourably placed centre, in contact with different zones of the Mediterranean sea (the Aegean, the iberian Peninsula, levantine centres, Phoenician colonies, tyrrhenian area).the material evidence is proof that, at least from the 9th century B.C., there were relationships with foreign people, including the Phoenicians, who met, traded, and lived together in the nuragic village. the excavations of the last three years have uncovered new parts of the village, revealing house structures, and a big public space, paved with stone slabs, which forms a sort of square onto which the entrances of many buildings open. the hoard was found hidden in the floor of a circular building, that overlooks the paved square. it was contained in a vase, closed by a circular shale stone slab, buried in a pit close to the walls of the structure. the vase is a medium sized ovoid dolium, with a flared rim, convex bottom and three decorative “X” handles. there are not many comparisons in the nuragic pottery repertoire, but the type of handle is well known amongst nuragic iron Age pottery products. the vase contained a complex of metal objects weighing 41.239 Kg: a Monte Sa idda type bronze sword, 8 flanged bronze axes, 14 circular copper ingots and 19 copper ingots fragments. the sword, that has its main comparison in Southern Spain, is fragmentary with most of the blade missing. Flanged axes are represented in different shapes and sizes, all recognizable among the main varieties of this kind of carpentry tool known in Sardinia during the Final Bronze Age and the early iron Age. the ingots are all almost circular, divided into different types: plano-convex, biconvex and flat. Most of them are fragmented. they are commonly found throughout the whole Bronze Age and the early iron Age. the bronzes seem to have been placed inside the vase in a particular way (ingots on the bottom and axes on the top), probably in order to prevent damage, especially to those items such as the axes and the sword, which would have been most vulnerable. From a study of the vase and its contents we can assume that the hoard was buried around the middle of the 8th century B.C.
Sant’Imbenia- Alghero: l’ambiente 24 e il suo ripostiglio

Il deposito è stato trovato sepolto nel pavimento di un edificio di forma ellittica affacciato sulla piazza lastricata, all’interno di un dolio ovoidale di medie dimensioni, inquadrabile tra le produzioni nuragiche dell'età del Ferro""
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

Full text linkWe 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
