Penisola del Sinis: fonti per paesaggi dell'archeologia rurale
Full text linkAbstract: The Sinis Peninsula: sources for the study of a rural archaeological landscape
The study aims to analyze the diachronic transformations of the natural and anthropic landscapes in the Sinis Peninsula, locate in the Gulf of Oristano, Western Sardinia.
The long study tradition related to the archaeology of the area has required a thorough review of the available literature. The fieldwork activities have focused on a series of systematic, intensive and extensive landscape surveys.
The surveys have been developed prior to, during and following the author’s active participation to the excavation of the Mont’e Prama archaeological site. The data deriving from fieldwork and literature review have been implemented into a Geographical Information System (GIS), while the data elaborations have been used to analyze ancient settlements dynamics of the rural territory related to the city of Tharros.
The study analyzes the reasons behind the intense ancient settlement in the area which slowly diminishes, almost ceasing, during the Early Middle Ages. Therefore, a specific attention has been given to the potential resources in the area, which need to be understood as potential factor of an economic relevance and active elements of the settlement dynamics. The collection of video-footages of oral histories accounting for the ancient life-style in the Sinis Peninsula has represented the conclusive action of the research, aiming to offer a useful tool for the reconstruction of the territorial layout in post-medieval times. It also offers a valuable tool for the promotion and public interpretation of the territory thanks to the storytelling approach
Archeologia globale dei paesaggi fluviali e costieri della Sardegna: la foce del Tirso e le aree umide del Golfo di Oristano tra antichità e medioevo
No full textIl progetto Insediamenti rurali in Sardegna tra tarda antichità e medioevo: viabilità terrestre e corsi d'acqua nella dinamica dei paesaggi si è proposto di analizzare le caratteristiche del popolamento rurale delle aree costiere della Sardegna, caratterizzate in particolare da zone umide e foci di fiumi; queste aree sono ricche di risorse naturali, soggette a rapidi cambiamenti ambientali e hanno sempre avuto una intensa dinamica insediativa. Tra le aree campione, quella che ha approfondito la comprensione del rapporto tra uomo e ambiente e permesso un tentativo di ricostruzione dei paesaggi è rappresentata dal territorio che si affaccia sul Golfo di Oristano, nella Sardegna centro-occidentale, soprattutto nel suo settore settentrionale, alla foce del fiume Tirso, dando risultati particolarmente interessanti; qui, tra la Tarda Antichità e il Medioevo si assiste al trasferimento di funzioni del centro primario, dall'antica città di Tharros a Oristano, nuova capitale del Giudicato.The Project Rural settlements in Sardinia between late antiquity and the Middle Ages: terrestrial road system and waterways in the dynamics of landscapes aimed to analyse the characteristics of the rural population of Sardinia’s coastal areas, which are in particular characterized by wetlands and river mouths; these areas are rich in natural resources, subject to accelerated environmental changes and have always had an intense settlement dynamic. Among the sample areas, the one which has deepen the understanding of the relationship between man and environment and allowed an attempt to the reconstruction of the landscapes, is represented by the territory that overlooks the Gulf of Oristano, in central-western Sardinia, especially in its northern sector, at the mouth of the Tirso river, proving particularly interesting re- sults; here, between Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages we witness the transfer of functions of the primary center, from the an- cient city of Tharros to Oristano, the new capital of the Judgeship
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
