Storia e archeologia della media valle del Tammaro: il fiume, gli insediamenti, i paesaggi
Full text linkAbstract in italiano
Lo studio analizza le trasformazioni territoriali del paesaggio antico nella media valle
del fiume Tammaro. L’area, posta geograficamente nel Sannio, regione montuosa della
fascia appenninica centro-meridionale, si estende a nord-est di Benevento lungo la valle
del Tammaro, affluente del Calore, rientrando nei confini amministrativi dei comuni di
Pago Veiano, Pesco Sannita, Pietrelcina, Reino e San Marco dei Cavoti e, in misura
minore di Fragneto l’Abate, Fragneto Monforte, S. Giorgio la Molara e Paduli.
Il progetto si propone di ricostruire l’evoluzione del paesaggio tra età preistorica ed età
tardoantica analizzando i fenomeni ambientali, i modelli insediativi e le dinamiche di
popolamento che hanno segnato il territorio nel quadro delle vicende storiche umane.
Le metodologie d’indagine adoperate sono state guidate da un approccio globale allo
studio del paesaggio prevedendo tecniche e strategie d’intervento caratterizzate da
apporti multi e interdisciplinari.
Si è creata una solida base di dati archeologici acquisiti dalla bibliografia specialistica e
dalla documentazione archivistica, con il supporto di approfondimenti mirati alle fonti
storiche, alla cartografia storica, alle foto aeree storiche e recenti e alle indagini
geomorfologiche di dettaglio; l’analisi di questa documentazione, sostenuta dalla
creazione di un database relazionale e di un GIS, ha condotto alla definizione di un’area
campione su cui intervenire con l’indagine sistematica sul campo. La ricognizione
archeologica ha consentito di individuare nuove tracce della presenza di gruppi umani,
attraverso il riconoscimento di segni stratificati dei paesaggi antichi e di evidenze
rintracciate in superficie.
Il contributo delle nuove scoperte ha integrato e ampliato la conoscenza pregressa sulla
media valle del Tammaro: mettere in sistema per la prima volta dati noti e nuove
acquisizioni ha permesso di riconsiderare i modelli insediativi, le forme del
popolamento rurale e le dinamiche economiche e sociali di questo comparto del
territorio beneventano in relazione alle principali problematiche storiche.
Abstract in English
This work examines the transformation of ancient human landscape in the middle part
of Tammaro valley. The area is located in Sannio, mountainous region of central and
southern Appenines, precisely in the north-east territory of Benevento, near the
Tammaro river, which is tributary of Calore. The research area includes the territories of
Pago Veiano, Pesco Sannita, Pietrelcina, Reino and San Marco dei Cavoti and to a
lesser extent Fragneto l’Abate, Fragneto Monforte, S. Giorgio la Molara and Paduli.
The aim of this research project is to study the evolution of landscape from Prehistory
up to the Late Antiquity, through a better understanding of environmental processes,
local settlement patterns and changing population dynamics in the historical framework.
The adopted methodologies have been inspired by a global approach to landscape as a
palimpset of ancient human traces, following the way of multi-disciplinary techniques
and strategies integrating different competences.
It’s been created a collection of previous archaeological data knonw from
bibliographical and archival documents that is improved by studies of literary sources,
written documents, cartographic sources including historical maps, aerial photographs
and systematic geological and geomorphological analysis of the geographic area. All
the informations are entered into a database and managed by a Geographical
Information System which helped to define the sampling areas to survey.
The archeaeological systematic survey allowed us to find new traces of ancient
communities, signed by stratified evidences of ancient landscapes and by surface
scatters of artifacts and sherds.
The new finds improved the previous knowledge of Tammaro middle valley, relating
for the first time the old archaeological available data with the new results and defining
the changes in the landscape pattern, the forms of rural occupation and the evolution of
social and economic structures in the countryside of Benevento within most important
historical issue
Immersive Photographic Environments as Interactive Repositories for Preservation, Data Collection and Dissemination of Cultural Assets
No full textThe proposed work deals with the generative process of high-resolution 360° spherical photographs for the creation of an information container in the form of a virtual tour for the immersive fruition of the archaeological area of Abellinum. The development of the tool aims at the promotion and dissemination of the research results obtained so far within the project “Abellinum. Piano per la conoscenza, la tutela e la valorizzazione dell’antico centro irpino”, as well as a first expeditious approach for the digitisation of an area that is still difficult to access. This procedure, born out of a health emergency but also an economic-social one, acts as a suitable and valid alternative to more time-consuming methodologies, imposing a reflection on the resources to be deployed in relation to the purposes of the cultural offer. After describing the technical approach enacted, the study of the virtual tour interface design and the basic functions adopted in this first phase are investigated, hinting at possible implementations. What emerges is a progressive transdisciplinary enhancement between academic and professional skills for the promotion and preservation of cultural heritage, with the development of new tools and the transformation of existing ones on the basis of a technological process that is in its full rise
Archeologie del presente: tra ricerca, tutela e pianificazione. Il caso di Carinola.
Full text linkL’archeologia ha sviluppato metodi, strumenti, tecnologie in grado di cogliere le sfide che la società contemporanea pone in materia di pianificazione del tessuto urbano e territoriale, puntando alla salvaguardia del Patrimonio culturale a partire dal concetto di sviluppo locale sostenibile e in direzione di una possibile nuova stagione di dialogo tra esperti, appaltatori, enti amministrativi e abitanti. Tuttavia, non mancano le difficoltà di attuazione, sia a causa di una legislazione in parte carente che per l’ancora complicato rapporto con i pianificatori, che vedono spesso il patrimonio culturale più come un ostacolo che come una risorsa. Il presente contributo vuole proporre degli spunti di riflessione sull’impatto che un’archeologia “globale” dei paesaggi può avere nella crescita ecosostenibile e nelle politiche di tutela e valorizzazione di quello che si configura sempre di più come Eredità culturale collettiva. Tale approccio viene illustrato attraverso la presentazione della cartografia tematica archeologica redatta per il Piano Urbanistico Comunale (PUC) di Carinola (CE), contesto storicamente complesso e con notevoli criticità ambientali
Le ragioni del disegno. Pensiero, forma e modello nella gestione della complessità-The reasons of drawing. Thought, shape and model in the complexity management. Atti del 38° Convegno internazionale dei docenti della rappresentazione
No full textThe subject of this study is the analysis of the geometric matrix and the graphical representation of the Amphitheatre of Pompeii, a building with a complex structure on different levels. For the understanding and the interpretation of the relationship among the spaces, we took of three-dimensional acquisitions that have responded with flexibly to the need of documenting geometries and articulated shapes. The aims were to (i) extract accurate metric information, concerning plans and sections of the Amphitheatre; (ii) study and update of historical and archival information
PHOTOGRAMMETRY FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL 3D SURVEYING: THE CASE-STUDY OF PONTE ROTTO ALONG THE ANCIENT APPIA (BENEVENTO, ITALY)
No full textThe paper describes the results of photogrammetric survey of Ponte Rotto (literally, Broken Bridge), a Roman bridge on the ancient Appia way close to Benevento (southern Italy). The photogrammetric survey was carried out by means of a DJI Phantom 4 with a 12 Mpixel camera. One nadir and two side flights allowed obtaining 273 images and placing 6 Ground Control Points. A 3D model with a 8 millions points cloud was constructed (average error < 4 cm and Ground Simple Distance < 7 mm). The extrapolated ortho-photos were used for quantitative evaluation of lithotypes and damage diagnosis performed by Fitzner and Heinrichs method
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
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
