Neolithic pottery groups from the Agia Triada Cave, southern Euboea, and the Aegean Late Neolithic: some remarks
Get PDFΣτο κείμενο που ακολουθεί παρουσιάζονται τα προκαταρκτικά συμπεράσματα της εν εξελίξει μελέτης του υλικού των ανασκαφών που πραγματοποιήθηκαν κατά τα έτη 2007-2010 στο σπήλαιο της Αγίας Τριάδας Καρύστου. 1 Από τα έως τώρα δεδομένα προκύπτει ότι ορισμένα κεραμικά σύνολα διαφορο- ποιούνται ως προς τα τυπο-τεχνολογικά τους χαρακτηριστικά από την κεραμική της Νεότερης Νεο- λιθικής ΙΙ. Η πιο χαρακτηριστική κατηγορία είναι η γραπτή κεραμική με λευκή διακόσμηση σε σκούρο βάθος που χαρακτηρίζει τη Νεότερη Νεολιθική Ι περίοδο των νησιών του κεντρικού, ανατολικού Αι- γαίου και άλλων περιοχών. Ο μικρός αριθμός αντιπροσωπευτικών οστράκων και η κακή κατάσταση διατήρησης τους δυσχεραίνουν ιδιαίτερα τη μελέτη
Middle Helladic (central) Euboea and its cultural connections: The state of research
Get PDFWith the British excavations at Lefkandi (1964-1966) and the publication of Dickinson’s The Origins of the Mycenaean Civilisation in 1977, Euboea suddenly became a region of major interest for the study of the Middle Bronze Age (MBA), and the stratigraphy of Xeropolis emerged as an important reference point. Until that time, the MBA of the second largest Aegean island was almost unknown. Sackett et al. stated in 1966 in the introduction to their survey, that ‘the gaps in our knowledge of Bronze Age Euboea are so serious as to amount in some areas to a total blank’.1 Nowadays, Euboea has lost again its focal position in research, as the site of Lefkandi has actually still not been published in detail and the glory has passed by Euboea and gone to other regions, such as the Argolid, Boeotia and —especially— the opposite shore of the Euboean Gulf: Pevkakia, Mitrou and the Malian Gulf. V. Nikolopoulos dedicated less than half a page of his 2015 article on prehistoric Euboea to the Middle Helladic (MH) period.2 Nonetheless, over 40 MBA sites are now known on Euboea (Fig. 1), and several of them have been subject to excavation. Unfortunately, only one of the sites of the island, Kalogerovrysi, in the hinterland of Phylla, has been fully published, and this is probably one of the less important sites. In what follows, the history of research of MBA Euboea will be summarized, in order to determine the actual state of research of this period and to provide an outline of the principal characteristics as well as the major research questions relating to the study of the Euboean MBA

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Chapter 22. The Later Neolithic Stages in Central-Southern Greece based on the evidence from the excavations at the Agia Triada Cave, Southern Euboea
No full textDefining the problem: the Later Neolithic Stages in Southern Greece This brief overview of the latest work on the Aegean Later Neolithic Stages is representative of a growing awareness of the shortfall of existing views on Later Neolithic cultural phases and chronological associations connected to them. It is no coincidence that most of this work is related to regions such as Crete and the Cyclades, for which available evidence has for decades been coming only from a few reference sites, such..
A sea of cultures: the neolithic period on the Aegean islands: archaeological evidence, theory, interpretation
No full textΗ παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή έχει ως σκοπό τη συνολική, όσο το δυνατόν παρουσίαση και επανεκτίμηση των φάσεων κατοίκησης των νησιών του Αιγαίου, από την πρώτη εμφάνιση της ανθρώπινης δραστηριότητας έως περίπου τις αρχές της τρίτης χιλιετίας. Η αναφορά στη Νεολιθική περίοδο και κυρίως στις τελευταίες φάσεις της είναι αναπόφευκτα εκτενέστερη, καθώς τα δεδομένα είναι περισσότερα και είναι δυνατόν να εξαχθούν πιο εύκολα συμπεράσματα για την κοινωνία, τον πολιτισμό, τις επαφές των νησιωτικών κοινωνιών, το χαρακτήρα του υλικού τους πολιτισμού και τις αντιλήψεις των ανθρώπων. Οι γνώσεις μας για τις πρώιμες φάσεις της ανθρώπινης παρουσίας στα νησιά του Αιγαίου, δεν μπορούν παρά να θεωρηθούν ελλιπείς. Το γεγονός αυτό οφείλεται τόσο στην απουσία ενδιαφέροντος από τους ερευνητές όσο και στη δυσκολία εντοπισμού πρώιμων θέσεων και γενικότερα στη μέθοδο και τους σκοπούς ανασκαφικών και επιφανειακών ερευνών. Παρά τα πενιχρά, σχετικά με άλλες περιόδους και περιοχές, δεδομένα, μελετήθηκε μεγάλος όγκος δημοσιευμένου και αδημοσίευτου υλικού, στο πλαίσιο μιας προσέγγισης, η οποία στο κέντρο τοποθέτησε τον άνθρωπο, την κατανόηση των πολιτισμικών φαινομένων και αλλαγών.

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
