La decorazione come comunicazione simbolica: il caso della decorazione di Castelluccio
No full textThis paper focuses on the analysis of a decorative design attested in Castelluccio painted pottery, the vertical series of rhomboidal elements. The different ways in which this motif is used, referring to its spatial distribution and its association with other decorative elements and different pottery shapes, it’s here examined
Alcune considerazioni sulla ceramica dipinta della facies di Castelluccio
No full textThis paper presents an analysis of the ceramic design of the Castelluccio painted pottery through the study of the main published corpuses of material belonging to this facies. Firstly the basic motifs which go to make up the design and the ways in which these motifs are arranged, have been identified. Secondly stylistic variation has been analyzed: each site seems to re-elaborate autonomously a shared stylistic repertory and a pattern of interaction between sites based on short or middle range multidirectional contacts has been recognized

Guess who's coming to dinner? Cooking practices at Arslantepe from 4200 to 2000 BCE
No full textCooking practices are analysed throughout the Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age occupation at the site of Arslantepe, in Eastern Anatolia (near the modern city of Malatya), by investigating 347 whole cooking pots and a series of in situ but fragmented ones. These are mostly in situ vessels found within domestic or public buildings and are thus considered to be primary indicators of the cooking practices of their inhabitants. Shape, dimensions, use wear traces, capacity and distribution are evaluated and compared; these suggest long lasting food related behaviours and practices of food manipulation that appear to characterise the subsequent cultures that develop at the site. These traditions survive to changes in the shapes and position of hearths on which cooking pots were sat, that stress a modification in the visibility and social involvement in domestic food preparation. Sets of cooking devices are evaluated and used to identify daily and ordinary food preparation, whilst the contextualisation of oversize and particular vessels testifies to their use in extra-ordinary preparations
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
Distribution of artifacts and ecofacts in an early bronze age house in Eastern Anatolia. Space use and household economy at Arslantepe VI b2 (2900–2750 bce)
No full textArslantepe, one of the best documented mounds in Eastern Anatolia, is well known especially for its Late Chalcolithic ‘palace’, testifying to the emergence of a centralized and redistributive economy, typical in the 4th millennium BCE Uruk and Uruk-related worlds. At the beginning of the Early Bronze Age this socio-economic sys- tem undergoes a collapse, and the degree of control of the economy on behalf of the ‘elites’ seems to be, here and in other sites, significantly lower or even non-existent. This topic (in need of further investigation) may be enriched by studies focusing on the household level and aimed at assessing the role of household economy. By applying a multidisciplinary approach, this research combines zoological, botanical and artifactual evidence from a multi-roomed mud-brick dwelling in the Early Bronze Age settlement of Arslantepe — VI B2 (2900– 2750 BCE), which was destroyed by a fire and suddenly abandoned: an event entailing the retrieval of a very rich assemblage of in situ ecofacts and artifacts. In this paper we present in detail the carpological, anthracological and archaeozoological finds and – after describing the architectural layout of the house under examination – we assess the morpho-functional characteristics of both ceramics and lithics (the latter determined through use- wear analysis) and examine the spatial and stratigraphic patterning of all the materials: although partly biased by taphonomic modifications, the sub-assemblages of the different indoor and outdoor spaces of the examined dwelling reflect the functional characteristics of each area. Additionally, we combine our results with preliminary data from other parts of the extensively excavated village of period VI B2, pointing out the prominent role of household economy in this phase
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
