    In this paper, an attempt has been made to gather and discuss data concerning the bone combs found in Tuscany between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, through the analysis of their types, chronology and distribution. The bone combs are often found in the graves of the Longobards or dating in the Longobard's period, in both urban and rural cemeteries, and were produced both in local workshops and centers outside the region

    HOW A CITY DIES. REFLECTIONS FROM THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF THE PORT, NORA (SARDINIA). The birth of a city, the analysis of historical conditions, economic and political factors that determined the formation of a new settlement in the Antiquity, the procedures for development of an urban area and its relationships to surroundings are themes dear to the historiography. Less interest, however, has so far raised the abandonment and death of a city. Or rather, the historiography has generally focused on the causes, not the way it has gradually realized the abandonment. The city of Nora, lying on a promontory on the southern coast of Sardinia, was abandoned between the seventh and eighth centuries AD, after more than a millennium of life. The excavations carried out continuously over the past twenty years have allowed us to reconstruct with sufficient accuracy the history of the city, offering the opportunity to follow step by step, its slow decline and then death, when the last inhabitants left it

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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
