Acqua, irrigazione e agricoltura in territori pre-desertici: alcuni dati dalla Numidia romana
No full textAlong the African limes a crucial point is represented by a particular area of Numidia, where the mountain of the Aurès, the Mons Aurasios of the ancients, stands isolated. Here the presence of relatively abundant and easily accessible water allowed the Romans a careful water management, testified by archaeology but also by the ancient literary and epigraphic sources; from this derives also a good agrarian organization of the fields, in which numerous farms flourished. One of the most important products, also exported, was olive oil, which often came from intensive crops and worked in oil mills of such dimensions as to be considered ‘industrial’
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
A microscopic view of ancient bones: Archaeometry and taphonomy of human remains from Al-Khiday (Central Sudan)
No full textA microscopie view of ancient bones: Archaeometry and taphonomy of human remains from Al-Khiday (Central Sudan)
No full textThe puzzling and challenging pre-Mesolithic human remains found at the al-Khiday site, Sudan, can not be dated directly by radiocarbon techniques or other means because of the extensive diagenetic processes that changed the microstructure of the bones and completely deprived the samples of organic matter. Here the micro¬structural and micro-chemical investigations performed on these remains are reviewed. The results are combined with macroscopic evidence such as stratigraphic relationships, available radiocarbon dates of soil carbonates, and the regional palaeo-climatic frame in order to indirectly assign a Late Pleistocene age to this important group of humans. The al-Khiday case study is deemed to be an important and successful example of application of modern archaeometric techniques at the microscopic level
