Il contesto dei forni del vano r, Casa IIB
No full textTemples Park within the Hellenistic Roman Quarter, an interesting production
context was identified within space r of House IIB. Starting with the cleaning
of an old archaeological survey we identified three ovens, of which can be
traced back to the tannur type, a small domestic wood-burning oven in which
the combustion chamber and cooking chamber coincide, probably of Middle
Eastern origin.
Oven 1 revealed a clay structure containing an accumulation of stones, mixed
with a blackish sediment that had crushed some partially reassembled vases. The
oven has an elliptical shape with a base of clay tiles placed on a level of sand and
an uplift of clay. A second oven, just to the north of the first, does not preserve
the elevated portion, but only the circular imprint partly recessed in the ground.
The edges are reinforced with fragments of tiles and flat stones that protrude
from the wall. A third oven is located in the southeast corner of the room: larger
than the first two, the elevation portion is not preserved. The three ovens are related to the tannur type, widespread throughout the
Mediterranean area. It is a structure with a variable shape from the truncated
cone to the cylinder, built in raw clay assembled by hand. Inside oven 1 various
objects used for cooking and serving food were found: two pots and part of a
third, jugs and a situla in common purified ceramic, two oil lamps and a small
bottle for drinking. The materials are all datable to the end of the I century B.C.

Rocca Nadore. Nuove indagini e prospettive di ricerca
No full textThe site of Rocca Nadore is located in a strategic area along the southern. The stratigraphic sequence
stretches from the Archaic Age to the Late Medieval occupation, but the most significant evidence dates
to the period between the 4th and the 3rd century BCE when an important settlement was built probably
sponsored by Carthage. The importance of the site results from its position: it controls a large portion of
land between the poleis of Selinunte and Eraclea Minoa on the south shore and the routes across the inland
that allow passage towards the North of the region.
The joint research activities of the and Soprintendenza of Agrigento has been focused on the
topographical definition of the site, in particular on the defensive system. The research of 2004-2005
allowed us to identify and bring to light new areas of settlement and sections of the fortification. The
University has also activated laboratories for the study of the finds discovered in previous years that
involved undergraduated students. New research campaigns will be aimed to clarify other aspects of
the site dynamics settlement as the birth and development, a better knowledge of the road network and the
urban structure, identifying worship area and public spaces.
The aim of this paper focus on C1 sounding which returned important archaeological finds, useful
to rebuild the way of life in the Rocca Nadore site. In particular, the amphorae represent an important
evidence of the Sea Trade Networks. The data obtained through the study of artifacts found in the C1
sounding seem to set a “low chronology” for the abandonment of the site between the end of the 4th and
the first three decades of the 3rd century BCE. Currently it is difficult to understand which of the historical
events, that affected at this time, has led to the destruction of the fortified town of
I reperti rinvenuti nella discarica
No full textThe shrine of the so-called “Roman Temple” of Agrigentum was built between the late Republican period and the reign of Tiberius, early 1st century CE. Between the 3th and 6th centuries CE, a large midden was deposited on the East side of the shrine, almost completely burying the earlier structures. During the 2016-2017 excavations, a large portion of the archaeological deposit inside the North Portico and relevant to the Late Antique midden deposit was investigated
A new way of drinking. The distribution of the krater shape in Northern-Lucanian District

widely found in the luxurious assemblages in tombs.
On the inner side of Southern Italy, the main pot of the
set is the so-called cantaroide, probably used in the
consumption of a locally produced alcoholic beverage.
Unlike in other parts of Italy, in the North-Lucanian
area the spread of the krater shape is rare. Furthermore,
kraters were produced by local workshops only in the
5th century B.C. The present paper aims to analyze the
distribution of the krater shape in the North-Lucanian
area in order to compare this data with that from other
areas of Southern Italy, in the attempt to cast some light
on the causes of this phenomenon and to outline the
possible places of production
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
La fase tardoantica e medievale. I materiali e le strutture
No full textLe ceramiche rinvenute nei contesti tardo-antichi e alto-medievali degli scavi dell’insula III del quartiere ellenistico-romano di Agrigento sono di straordinaria importanza. Mostrano alcuni aspetti della produzione e dell’economia della città piuttosto emblematici, che caratterizzano fortemente gran parte dei depositi analizzati e indicano alcune tendenze nella distribuzione delle ceramiche tunisine anche nei secoli VI e VII, finora poco studiati, nonostante il territorio e la città di Agrigento siano le zone dove lo studio del materiale ceramico di età romana e tardo-antica sia tra i più studiati in Sicilia e in gran parte del territorio italiano. Sono stati classificati i materiali rinvenuti negli strati superficiali dello scavo del 2017, dove sono stati recuperati materiali molto eterogenei
