Indagini archeozoologiche della Palermo antica: la Gancia, Palazzo Bonagia e Via Imera.
L’analisi archeozoologica della Palermo medioevale qui presentata si inserisce nell’ambito degli studi di antropologia e di archeologia medievale che da oltre un decennio stanno interessando il centro storico della città. Il presente studio mira alla ricostruzione dell’ecologia umana durante il periodo di islamizzazione della Sicilia e di Palermo, attraverso l’analisi dei resti faunistici di tre siti inediti del centro storico di Palermo, la Gancia, Palazzo Bonagia e Via Imera, in un periodo compreso tra la fine del IX e il X sec. d.C., e l’analisi comparativa di resti provenienti da centri rurali siciliani, alcuni di questi databili fino al XV secolo. L’analisi ha messo in evidenza alcuni …
The water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia) of the standing waters of Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily: review and new data
2014
A compilation of our present knowledge of the water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia) adapted to life in standing waters on the three large islands in the western Mediterranean (Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily) is provided. In addition to published data, this study deals with a rich volume of new material from recent field work, mostly deriving from intermittent ponds and pools, an extremely poorly investigated yet peculiar habitat type in the Mediterranean area. Species richness of water mites reported for the standing waters of the three islands amounts to 91 species. Out of the 47 species for which we present new distributional data, Hydrachna incisa Halbert, 1903, Hydrachna leegei Koenike, 1895,…

A preliminary taxonomic evaluation of the Quaternary vertebrate fossil record of Sicily. A compilation of a dataset concerning the Quaternary vertebrates of Sicily, based on information from literature sources, is presented. A quantitative methodology for compilation and analysis of the data is described. The adopted numerical treatment of data is particularly effective in synthesizing and analyzing the large amount of information contained in the data set. The paper gives a synthetic picture of the consistence of the Sicilian fossil record during the considered time interval. The compilation fully confirms that the fossil record of Sicily is an important source of information on the divers…
