Drowned Landscapes: The Rediscovered Archaeological Heritage of the Mosul Dam Reservoir

2023

Like natural catastrophes or armed conflicts, resource extraction projects herald the alteration or destruction of natural and cultural landscapes alike. Dam construction is a major threat to cultural heritage in Western Asian archaeology. One event may result in obliterating hundreds of sites, most of which never reappear or do so only sporadically following cyclical water fluctuation. Destruction of sites remains ongoing, necessitating constant assessment of damage and the establishment of strategies of documentation and maintenance. This paper proposes a new paradigm for future safeguarding and, more widely, a new tool for managing contiguous terrestrial and lacustrine cultural zones. It…

Architectures “on ruins” and ambiguous transparency: the glass in preservation and communication of archaeology

2008

Abstract The contemporary architecture is characterized by an even more marked transparency, as a result of a continuous experimentation all directed towards the search of the built “lightness”, that is towards the “dematerialization” of the architecture and the consequent loss of weight connected to the excess of form. It is in 1851 that a New Architectural Age springs because of the realization of the Crystal Palace, in London – that has addressed towards the experimentation of the glass as an architectural, structural element and of design. Today, part of this experimentation has been applied for some interventions of coverage, protection and communication in situ of the archaeological r…

I DIPINTI MURALI STACCATI: CRITICITÀ E NUOVE PROPOSTE

2015

La tesi di Laurea Magistrale a ciclo unico, in "Conservazione e Restauro dei Beni Culturali", della Dottoressa Nicoletta Chiparo, riguarda l'intervento di restauro di un lacerto di dipinto murale staccato, di età paleocristiana, raffigurante un'orante; l’approccio alle problematiche di conservazione del dipinto murale ha suggerito l’avvio di una ricerca bibliografica e di laboratorio sui materiali per la realizzazione degli strati di sacrificio per i dipinti murali staccati. Il dipinto murale, di provenienza incerta e delle dimensioni di cm. 60 di h, cm. 41.5 di larg. mm. 1-3 di sp., rappresenta una figura femminile orante che, per la resa del volto, dei particolari dell’acconciatura e la c…

Cenni sull'antica diocesi di Triocala e i fenomeni insediativi nel territorio di Catlabellotta fra tardo antico e alto medioevo

2014

Nell’epistolario di Gregorio Magno Triocala compare tra le 13 diocesi presenti in Sicilia nel VI secolo, ma questa sede episcopale avrà vita breve perché fu abolita nella riorganizzazione territoriale della Chiesa siciliana voluta dai Normanni. Eppure Triocala si annovera tra le “diocesi rurali” che nell’Italia centro meridionale si distinguevano da quelle urbane per essere stanziate in agglomerati secondari privi di autonomia amministrativa, quale si ritiene possa essere stato in età tardoantica e bizantina l’insediamento di contrada Sant’Anna/Caltabellotta (Ag). Si propone con questa ricerca una revisione critica dei dati storici e archeologici a disposizione, per un approccio corretto al…

First Results of the Eastern Ḫabur Archaeological Survey in the Dohuk Region of Iraqi Kurdistan. The Season of 2013

2015

The University of Tübingen began an archaeological survey in the westernmost part of the Kurdistan Autonomous Region of Iraq, in the province of Dohuk, in 2013. The survey area covers highly diverse ecological zones from the Tigris across the East-Tigridian plain to the high Zagros ranges along the border with Turkey. Historically, the region witnessed the expansion of Mesopotamian states since the 3rd mill. BC and was a border region between Assyria and Urartu in the 1st mill. BC.

The ´champagne-cup` period at Carchemish. A review of the Early Bronze Age levels on the Acropolis Mound and the problem of the Inner Town.

2007

The pioneer excavations conducted by the British Museum expedition at the famous site of Carchemish in the 1910’s brought to light a large number of buildings, sculptures and inscriptions which provide an outline of the urban layout of the Iron Age city and its monuments. While many scholars have often attempted to re-examine the epigraphic material as well as the style and chronology of the major works of this period in order to set them in a proper historical context, much less attention has been paid to the earlier levels mainly uncovered on the Acropolis mound, ranging from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. This paper discusses the archaeological evidence available and attempted to recon…
