Archaeological Survey in Italy between Ancient Topography and Landscape Archaeology

2017

Si riesamina il dibattito, talvolta conflittuale, che negli ultimi decenni ha contrapposto i fautori dell’archeologia dei paesaggi di derivazione anglosassone dai sostenitori della tradizione italiana della topografia antica. Si rileva come alcuni dei presupposti metodologici della topografia antica non erano in contraddizione con le istanze portate avanti dagli archeologi del paesaggio, pur riconoscendosi che topografia antica e archeologia del paesaggio si basano su premesse e approcci differenti e che quest’ultima ha contribuito decisamente alla innovazione metodologica sul campo e al riconoscimento che il paesaggio attuale è il risultato della stratificazione delle attività umane nel co…

Exploring the “Cozy Cabal of Academics, Dealers and Collectors” through the Schøyen Collection

2020

In the wake of the trade in ancient materials, several ethical and political issues arise that merit concern: The decimation of the cultural heritage of war-torn countries, proliferation of corruption, ideological connotations of orientalism, financial support of terrorism, and participation in networks involved in money laundering, weapon sales, human trafficking and drugs. Moreover, trafficking and trading also have a harmful effect on the fabric of academia itself. This study uses open sources to track the history of the private Sch&oslash

Linguistic Analysis and Ancient Indo-European Languages

2015

Using modern linguistic theory to describe ‘dead’ languages is one of the theoretical and methodological challenges in contemporary linguistic research. In fact, theories of the twentieth century mostly aimed to account for speakers’ linguistic competence, thus basing their analysis on live speakers and their intuitions. However, drawing on evidence from languages such as Vedic, Greek, Latin, Hittite, Gothic, Celtic and Proto-Indo-European itself, the relevance of the ancient Indo-European languages to contemporary linguistic theory has been constantly shown, since the rise of the linguistic sciences in the early nineteenth century. In fact, the observation of ancient Indo-European language…

Early history of European domestic cattle as revealed by ancient DNA

2006

We present an extensive ancient DNA analysis of mainly Neolithic cattle bones sampled from archaeological sites along the route of Neolithic expansion, from Turkey to North-Central Europe and Britain. We place this first reasonable population sample of Neolithic cattle mitochondrial DNA sequence diversity in context to illustrate the continuity of haplotype variation patterns from the first European domestic cattle to the present. Interestingly, the dominant Central European pattern, a starburst phylogeny around the modal sequence, T3, has a Neolithic origin, and the reduced diversity within this cluster in the ancient samples accords with their shorter history of post-domestic accumulation…
