Bronze Age tin-bronze metalwork assemblages in Kent: Composition, distribution and context
Full text linkThe main objectives of this thesis are to analyse and discuss Bronze Age tin-bronze assemblages in Kent, the study area, with focus on their composition, distribution and context.
The purpose of this thesis is largely in response to Professor Richard Bradleys following statement;
‘All too often, studies of such deposits have been concerned with content rather than context. This is a tradition that can be traced at least as far back as the work of Sir John Evans (1881). Since so little is known about the circumstance in which this material was deposited, it is perhaps a moot point whether such chronologies can be entirely reliable, but in the present account they are followed for want of anything better.’ (Bradley, 1998, 13)
The corpus of data comprises 66 assemblages identified in the subject area, given in Chapter 3 in the form of Datasheets and in the Appendices, in the form of graphs, a Compendium of Assemblages and maps. Comparisons are also made in relation to distribution alongside Bronze Age settlement, monuments and topographical data.
The thesis includes Methodology for collation of the corpus of research, followed by Distribution, Analysis, Assemblages in Retrospect and Current Thinking, Discussion and a Conclusion. The Discussion focuses on context of assemblages and metalworking from the subject area and the Bronze Age in northern Europe.
The Conclusion draws largely on the Analysis and data compiled from the Appendices, which have provided some fascinating and unexpected results that will hopefully provide further impetus for academic discussion and deliberation.
The thesis also recommends some further areas of research that would be of great benefit, particularly in the realm of non-destructive metallurgical analysis
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
