Ceramics

The Middle Euphrates region extends between the regions Jazirah and Northern Levant; it follows the course of the Euphrates from the south flanks of the Taurus mountains in Turkey almost to the modern borderline to Iraq. The settlement area drawn out between steppes in the east and in the west owes its particular character to just that life line with its fat soils but also to the trade routes meeting at the Euphrates Bend and connecting Anatolia to Mesopotamia and the Syrian east to the Levant. Especially for the 3rd millennium, finds and findings from the area under consideration show great cultural variety and demonstrate the different influences by the neighbouring regions that meet here…
Computer-assisted orientation and drawing of archaeological pottery.
2018
Archaeologists spend considerable time orienting and drawing ceramic fragments by hand for documentation, to infer their manufacture, the nature of the discovery site and its chronology, and to develop hypotheses about commercial and cultural exchanges, social organisation, resource exploitation, and taphonomic processes. This study presents a survey of existing solutions to the time-consuming problem of orienting and drawing pottery fragments. Orientation is based on the 3D geometry of pottery models, which can now be acquired in minutes with low-cost 3D scanners. Several methods are presented: they are based on normal vectors, or circle fittings, or profile fittings. All these methods see…
Sižeta struktūra Dž. K. Roulingas romānā “Harijs Poters un Jauktasiņu princis”
2016
Bakalaura darbā veikta Dž. K. Roulingas romāna “Harijs Poters un Jauktasiņu Princis” sižeta struktūras analīze. Tā mērķis ir analizēt romāna “Harijs Poters un Jauktasiņu Princis” struktūras atbilstību Freitāga piramīdai. Pētījumā apskatīts katrs Freitāga piramīdas posms un analizēts Roulingas romāns, pielietojot Freitāga piramīdu. Darbā arī aprakstīti sarežģījumi, peripetijas, atpazīšanas skati un ciešanas, kā arī analizēta tēlu izvēļu nozīme sižeta attīstībai. Lai sasniegtu pētījuma mērķi, veikta literārā darba analīze, interpretācija un strukturālā analīze. Pētījums pierāda, ka romāna “Harijs Poters un Jauktasiņu Princis” struktūra atbilst Freitāga piramīdai, kas papildināta ar sarežģījum…
SEM–EDS ANALYSIS AS A RAPID TOOL FOR DISTINGUISHING CAMPANIAN A WARE AND SICILIAN IMITATIONS
2013
The aim of this work is to examine whether it is possible to find chemical markers that allow a distinction to be made between the imported black glossed ‘Campanian A’ and the Sicilian imitation (end of fourth to first century BC) of these productions by carrying out quantitative chemical microanalysis of the slip using the SEM–EDS technique. The efficiency of the proposed analytical method has been tested on a set of ceramic samples corresponding to Sicilian black gloss imitations whose ceramic body has already been characterized petrographically by thin-section microscopy and chemically by XRF. The analytical data point to Na2O as a suitable chemical marker to distinguish between original…
Integrated prototyping and rendering system for the display of ceramic finds
2017
The project, carried out in collaboration between the Department of Architecture of Palermo and the Archaeological Museum Antonino Salinas of Palermo, proposes a system of integration and reconstruction of ceramic artefacts, using modeling, 3D printing and rendering processes for an integrated museum exhibition system, which the viewers can observe the fragment nearing the re-reconstructed fragment that reconstructs the original morphology and an interactive digital model in which the viewers can also observe the metric aspect and, where present, the decorative apparatus.
Loeb Classical Library, Hippocrates, volume X, Edited and Translated by P. Potter.
2015
Il X volume di Hippocrates della Loeb Classical Library contiene l'edizione con traduzione inglese a fronte di alcuni importanti scritti ippocratici a cura d Paul Potter, uno dei più autorevoli esperti internazionali in materia di edizione e interpretazione di scritti medici. Oltre all'edizione del de genitura/de natura pueri e del IV libro del de morbis ippocratico, viene proposto per la prima volta dai tempi di E. Littré il testo del de sterilibus, il volume si completa con una nuova edizione del de natura muliebri. La recensione passa in rassegna le scelte dell'editore, il metodo di selezione dei testimoni, la questione delle relazioni tra gli scritti, nonché questioni di lessicografia e…
l'islamizzazione a Palermo vista attraverso una rilettura della ceramica da fuoco dei butti di Via Imera
2014
Nel 1980 sono stati scavati alla periferia di Palermo 4 silos riutilizzati al momento della chiusura come butti. in questa sede si è ripresa la ceramica da fuoco leggendo i dati alla luce del processo di islamizzazione della città. Inoltre, si è cercato di capire all'interno della topografia di Palermo cosa potesse esserci in quest'area fuori dalle mura, vicina alle sorgenti del fiume Papireto. Con molta probabilità quest'area della città, usata come cava di pietra, era la sede delle truppe musulmane: il Muasqar delle fonti scritte.
Le anfore fenicio-puniche prodotte nel Mediterraneo occidentale: caratteristiche petrografiche degli impasti siciliani e spagnoli.
2009
The aim of this paper is to provide well-stated petrographic reference groups for the recognition of several Sicilian and Spanish Phoenician-Punic production centres in order to facilitate an instrument of further objective support for amphorae provenance. This instrument is based on the crosschecking between data provided by typological studies and the thinsection analysis of amphorae fabrics. It is worth noting that this is only a first step within the framework of a larger research project focused in the creation of an Atlas of Phoenician and Punic Amphorae in the Western Mediterranean including both archaeological and petrographic data. In this context a systematical work on the known p…
After African trades: changing in Cignana landscape between Late Antiquity and Medieval age
2017
International audience; In many parts of Sicily, the Late Antiquity represents a period of strong transformation in settlement patterns and landscapes. These changes occur also on an area 20 km SE from Agrigento, on the southern coast of the island: this is the territory around the imperial villa of Cignana (2nd-3th century AD), where the University of Palermo carried out some surveys from 2007. During the surveys more than 30 new topographic units of Late Antiquity were detected: some of them are big and accurately dated, others are small and difficult to interpret. Usually, they have located in easily accessible places, close to springs and the road system. Principally African pottery all…
Importation and Trade of African Pottery in the Ancient Ecclesia Carinensis During the Late Roman Age
2015
The territory of Carini, on the northwest coast of Sicily, 30 km from Palermo, is often mentioned by ancient sources. According Thucydides in this area was located the ancient Hykkara. Itinerarium Antonini recalls the statio of Hykkara along the via Valeria. This route in Late Antiquity became very important for the deportatio ad aquam of the agricoltural products. Gregorius Magnus in the epistles (VI century A.D.) mentions a diocese of Karines, as witnessed alike by the acts of synods to 782. The archaeological excavations, still ongoing, in the Early Christian cemetery nearby the little modern town of Villagrazia di Carini have revealed the presence of a strong Christian community. The se…
