Modellazione delle fasi costruttive di un manufatto archeologico. Il caso delle fasi 5 e 6 del castello di Rupecanina
No full textIl presente contributo è stato pensato come di supporto allo studio derivante dagli
scavi archeologici condotti durante le numerose campagne eseguite tra il 2005 ed il
2013 del Castello di Sant’Angelo D’Alife, Caserta. La modellazione tridimensionale
delle evidenze pertinenti le costruttive fasi 5 e 6 del complesso monumentale del
Castello di Rupecanina e dell’annesso villaggio rurale (Tav.1) ha voluto rappresentare
un tentativo di graficizzazione dei dati precedentemente raccolti per esemplificare
la lettura del manufatto che, evolutosi attivamente nel corso dei secoli, si
presenta come un palinsesto non immediatamente leggibile ai più. Nonostante la
fortissima stratificazione, la scelta di lavorare su una delle sette fasi costruttive, che
costituiscono la complessa e tumultuosa vita del manufatto, è ricaduta sul periodo
storico a cavallo tra fine XIII e XIV secolo. Tale scelta è dovuta alla necessità di restringere
il campo delle elaborazioni a quella che sembrava essere la congiuntura
tra le due fasi più complesse e complete di vita del monumento. La fortissima stratificazione
che, ad oggi, necessiterebbe di ulteriori scavi ed approfondimenti, riguardanti
alcune aree del sito non ancora indagate, vede soprattutto nella sesta fase quella
di massima espansione del sistema difensivo-insediativo
The case of the Cryptoporticus in Sessa Aurunca, a missed opportunity
No full textIl contributo proposto intende indagare le vicende del criptoportico romano di Sessa Aurunca,
Caserta. Il complesso archeologico più che rappresentare un fruttuoso esempio di tutela e
valorizzazione del nostro patrimonio, appare come un’occasione mancata. Partendo da
un’attenta analisi della letteratura, la presente ricerca vuole portare all’attenzione il manufatto
aurunco, indagare ed individuare spunti di conoscenza per la storia urbana e la
riconnessione con un brano di città negato.The aim of this report is to investigate the events of the Roman Cryptoporticus in Sessa
Aurunca, Caserta. The archeological complex rather than representing a fruitful example of
the protection and enhancement of our heritage, appears to be a missed opportunity. Starting
from a careful analysis of literature, the aim of this research is to bring attention to the artifact,
investigate and identify knowledge cues for urban history and the reconnection with a denied
and forgotten piece of city
The water management in roman theaters. The case of Sessa Aurunca
No full textThe aim of this report is to investigate the problem of the control of the outflow and
supply of the meteoric waters in the “Grecian” Roman theatres, in particular regard
to the roman theatre of Sessa Aurunca, in Caserta. The archeological complex, from
the 2nd century B.C., had been long forgotten, hidden under gardens and crops, until
Amedeo Maiuri first foresaw its existence in 1926, thanks to the excavation
campaign that brought the Criptoporticus, which was just behind the theatre, up.
Because of the outbreak of the Second World War, the excavation works had to be
stopped. That is why the theatre will be finally brought to light only after the
systematic excavation in 1999 that will be completed in 2001. The earthworks,
which had involved the entire complex revealed the existence of some traces of the
systems of disposal and conveyance of the meteoric waters (drainage channels in the
porticus pavement of the summa cavea, machicolation in the porticus post scaenam,
etc) which led to a much deeper understanding of the original, however partial,
system, which has been extremely useful for the analysis of the problem and an
integral part of its own solution. In fact, the theatre was provided with an efficient
network of both vertical and horizontal ducts and wastewater was collected from
numerous machicolations which were confluent inside the clay elements inserted in
the masonry itself. The didactic experimentation here presented has hereby
encountered a lack of a proper regimentation system of meteoric water and, due to
that, the fragile masonry structures of the theatre is affected by advanced
degradation. Starting from extensive studies of the artifact, from a careful analysis
of the literature, from an updated survey made through both traditional survey
methods and the use of drone, and from non-destructive investigations carried out
on the field, the aim of this report is to identify a system of accommodation of the
meteoric waters exportable to buildings of the same type, which can be achieved
through the restoration of the remaining original systems properly integrated, and
the installation of adequate protection of masonry ridges thanks to the use of
traditional materials
La valorizzazione dell’architettura medievale nella Valle del Medio Volturno
No full textThe castle of Rupecanina is located on the top of a hill, about 500 m above sea level,
in a dominant position within the Middle Volturno Valley, 50 km from Caserta. An
intense and tumultuous evolution, between the IX-XIV centuries, followed an early
abandonment of the site, during the 15th century. The «Village déserté» (Klapisch
Zuber, 1973) partially destroyed during the Second World War, has been, since the
1960s, the subject of several reconstruction and restoration interventions as well as
several archaeological excavation campaigns, numerous reflections and researches. In
spite of that, always closed to the public and abandoned to himself, the castle remains
forgotten to the most and it lies in conditions of advanced degradation.
The aim of this report is to reflect on the theme of conservation using knowledgeable
data in order to draw up a practical suggestion for the conservation of our heritage,
which, especially in the case of the Castle of Rupecanina, shows the urgent need of a
restoration project based on compatible and respectful use of an artefact that otherwise
remains doomed to ruin
Materiali vegetali per impieghi innovativi nei manufatti archeologici
No full textIl controllo dell’umidità e delle variazioni di temperatura nelle murature allo stato di rudere è un aspetto critico per il consolidamento e la conservazione del patrimonio costruito. L’obiettivo della presente ricerca è di indagare pregi e difetti dell’applicazione di un sistema di protezione delle creste murarie di manufatti archeologici attraverso l’impiego di materiali vegetali il cui utilizzo può condurre a vedere nella vegetazione un alleato piuttosto che un nemico da debellare, definendo un approccio in cui manufatti e natura costituiscono un sistema biologico co-evolutivo
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
