Il contributo propone delle considerazioni sull'ellenizzazione nel contesto kushitico di fase meroitica e aksumita partendo dall'evidenza archeologica e iconografica. Emerge così la consapevolezza con cui sono avvenuti i processi di adozione di iconografie di origine mediterranea, evidenziano come le iconografie esogene siano poi accostate a elementi locali secondo una sintassi assolutamente originale e improntata alla cultura merotitica e aksumita
Egyptian Ceramics from Eastern Sudan
The article presents a detailed description of the Egyptian ceramic finds from assemblages dating to the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC investigated in Eastern Sudan by the archaeological expedition of "L'Orientale" University and ISMEO. The typology of the recorded finds is discussed as well as their chronology and historical-cultural meaning
Building Techniques and Structural Damage of Historical Constructions Detected Through the Point Cloud Survey
The study of historical constructions belonging to the cultural and architectural heritage is often challenging as, in most cases, it is very complex to reach a full understanding and description of them, due to the long-lasting history and the numerous modifications throughout the centuries. Many instruments today available allow gathering information on the current state of these buildings and contemporarily can provide some evidence on their history and constructive techniques. As a matter of fact, data taken from the modern technique of laser scanning, applied to architectural heritage, can provide important information not only on the present deformed configuration of each building, but also on the construction techniques related to its components, their geometries and possible structural problems. By juxtaposing the slices taken from the point cloud survey, indeed, the correspondences or the differences of the profiles might prove either the regularities or the incongruences characterizing each building. The present study will prove the significance of such an investigation technique with reference to the case study provided by Santa Fosca church on Torcello Island. This is a Venetian-Byzantine church, dated back to the 11th century, very peculiar both from the structural and architectural point of view and subject to numerous interventions throughout the centuries

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
