Rilievo integrato per la conoscenza e documentazione del complesso termale dell'area archeologica di Tindari (ME)
2018
The aim of this study is to survey the Roman baths integrated in the so-called Insula IV of the archaeological area of Tindari (ME) for a better understanding of the site and for its enhancement. It is a structure that represents one of the oldest and best preserved thermal buildings with retrograde path in Sicily. Taking into account the typological, structural and decorative peculiarities that characterize the site, it was necessary to operate through integrated digital survey methods (laser scanning and SFM), obtaining a 3D model which describes the building in its entirety. The thermal building was inserted in the first century AD in a residential block dating back to the Hellenistic pe…
Vasellame in vetro dalle cisterne del castello di Butera
2012
The assemblage of glass artefacts, which is the subject of this contribution, has been retrieved from four cisterns (A, B, C, F) of the Medieval Castle of Butera. They are closed contexts, which were not manipulated by modern interventions, and permit a better defnition of the chronology of the glass objects through their association with ceramic material
A reappraisal of the purported gastric pellet with Pterosaurian bones from the Upper Triassic of Italy
2015
A small accumulation of bones from the Norian (Upper Triassic) of the Seazza Brook Valley (Carnic Prealps, Northern Italy) was originally (1989) identified as a gastric pellet made of pterosaur skeletal elements. The specimen has been reported in literature as one of the very few cases of gastric ejecta containing pterosaur bones since then. However, the detailed analysis of the bones preserved in the pellet, their study by X-ray microCT, and the comparison with those of basal pterosaurs do not support a referral to the Pterosauria. Comparison with the osteology of a large sample of Middle-Late Triassic reptiles shows some affinity with the protorosaurians, mainly with Langobardisaurus pand…
Virtual Hierapolis: tra tecnicismo e realismo
2011
[ES] Una de las principales actividades de la MAIER tiene como objetivo desarrollar una línea de investigación dirigida a la restauración virtual y la reproducción 3D de los antiguos monumentos de la ciudad romana de Hierápolis de Frigia, Turquía. El proyecto, llamado "Virtual Hierápolis, se ha desarrollado gradualmente en las últimas tres temporadas de excavación (años 2007-2009) y ha madurado a partir de las primeras experiencias de la RV aplicada a este sitio en años anteriores. Esta investigación, coordinada por el Director de la misión italiana, prof. F. D'Andria, y llevada a cabo en el Laboratorio de Tecnologías de la Información (ITLab) dell'IBAM-CNR de Lecce (Italia), implica unidad…
Il balaneion dell'agorà di Solunto
2019
Ettore Gabrici, who first excavated the structure located in the northwest corner of Solunto’s agora in 1920-21, identified the remains as part of a thermal bath, despite missing some of the key elements which usually characterize this type of buildings (hypocaust, praefurnium, heating pipes). After the re-examination of the architectural elements, this paper suggests a different interpretation which takes into account archaeological evidences from the broader Mediterranean context (especially from Sicily and the Punic world). The results here presented could actively contribute to a better understanding of the hydraulic engineering in Sicily during the Hellenistic Period. As a matter of fa…
