Il contesto dei forni del vano r, Casa IIB
No full textTemples Park within the Hellenistic Roman Quarter, an interesting production
context was identified within space r of House IIB. Starting with the cleaning
of an old archaeological survey we identified three ovens, of which can be
traced back to the tannur type, a small domestic wood-burning oven in which
the combustion chamber and cooking chamber coincide, probably of Middle
Eastern origin.
Oven 1 revealed a clay structure containing an accumulation of stones, mixed
with a blackish sediment that had crushed some partially reassembled vases. The
oven has an elliptical shape with a base of clay tiles placed on a level of sand and
an uplift of clay. A second oven, just to the north of the first, does not preserve
the elevated portion, but only the circular imprint partly recessed in the ground.
The edges are reinforced with fragments of tiles and flat stones that protrude
from the wall. A third oven is located in the southeast corner of the room: larger
than the first two, the elevation portion is not preserved. The three ovens are related to the tannur type, widespread throughout the
Mediterranean area. It is a structure with a variable shape from the truncated
cone to the cylinder, built in raw clay assembled by hand. Inside oven 1 various
objects used for cooking and serving food were found: two pots and part of a
third, jugs and a situla in common purified ceramic, two oil lamps and a small
bottle for drinking. The materials are all datable to the end of the I century B.C.

No full textMercury content and speciation in the Phlegrean Fields volcanic complex: evidence from hydrothermal system and fumaroles
No full textMercury is outstanding among the global environmental pollutants of continuing concern. Although degassing of active volcanic areas represents an important natural source of mercury into the atmosphere, still little is known about the amount and behaviour of Hg in volcanic aquifers, especially regarding its chemical speciation. In order to assess the importance of mercury emissions from active volcanoes, thermal waters were sampled in the area surrounding La Solfatara, Pozzuoli bay. This is the most active zone of the Phlegraean Fields complex (coastal area north-west of Naples), with intense hydrothermal activity at present day. Studied groundwaters show total Hg (THg) concentrations range from 56 to 171 ng/l and are lower than the 1000 ng/l threshold value for human health protection fixed by the World Health Organization (WHO, 1993). We also carefully discriminated the different aqueous species of Hg in the collected water samples. Besides, original data on Hg determination in gaseous manifestations at La Solfatara crater are also reported. We measured volcanogenic mercury concentration and Hg/Stot ratio both in the volcanic plume and in fumarolic condensates in order to better constrain Hg reactivity once emitted into the atmosphere. Data on Hg/Stot reveal that there is no significant difference between Hg volcanic composition at the venting source (fumaroles) and in near-vent diluted volcanic plumes (1,6×10-5 and 1,9×10-5, respectively), suggesting that there is limited Hg chemical processing in volcanic fumarole plumes, at least on the timescales of a few seconds investigated here. Combining the mean fumaroles Hg/CO2 mass ratio of about 1.3×10-8 (molar ratio: 2.1×10-9) with the hydrothermal soil diffuse CO2 degassing of the area, the annual Hg flux from La Solfatara is estimated as 7 kg y-1 (0.007 t y-1). Current mercury emission from La Solfatara volcano represents a very small contribution to the estimated global volcanic budget for this element, and the estimated Hg flux is considerably lower than that estimated from open conduit active basaltic volcanoes
Thermal expansion anomalies of R(Fe, M)(12) (R=Y, Nd; M=Mo and Si)
No full textStructural and thermal-expansion anomaly studies on R(Fe,M)(12) (R=Nd and and Y, M=Mo and Si) compounds were performed by x-ray diffraction. Mo atoms occupy the 8i site. While Si atoms occupy the 8f and 8j sites but not the 8i site. Thermal-expansion anomaly shows only in ab plane in the Mo compounds, while becomes very weak and along with only the c axis in the Si compounds. The anomaly was attributed to the contribution of the interactions of short Fe-Fe distances similar to the previous explanation on other R-Fe intermetallics and that of other strongly positive interactions such as 8j-8j.

I reperti rinvenuti nella discarica
No full textThe shrine of the so-called “Roman Temple” of Agrigentum was built between the late Republican period and the reign of Tiberius, early 1st century CE. Between the 3th and 6th centuries CE, a large midden was deposited on the East side of the shrine, almost completely burying the earlier structures. During the 2016-2017 excavations, a large portion of the archaeological deposit inside the North Portico and relevant to the Late Antique midden deposit was investigated
A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
