Transitions in Herd Management of Semi-Domesticated Reindeer in Northern Finland

2008

In northern Finland, reindeer-herd management has experienced two major transitions: extensification of intensive herding, and development of supplementary/corral feeding in winter. The transitions were studied in six herding associations in different parts of the Finnish reindeer management area. It was suggested that intensive herding turns into more extensive forms as the reasons for intensive herding (predation, reindeer disappearing to foreign areas, protection of agricultural fields) gradually ceased to exist. The results of the study, based on interviews of elderly reindeer herders, were variable. In the three southern areas intensive herding changed to the free ranging system at the…

Agrigento. Laboratorio di Laurea

2013

The essay outlines the peculiarities of the Course of Studies in Architecture held by the University of Palermo in Agrigento for about 20 years. The complex situation of the city and of its province have been sigled out and read by architectural design courses. Themes focused have been over the years: the overlapping of archaelogy and architecture; the ghost role of the old city; the overwhelming presence of infrastructures; the orographic condition of the multi centered city.

GIS and Survey in the Archaeological and Landscape Park of Agrigento

2017

Si espongono in maniera sintetica la metodologia e i risultati della prospezione archeologica condotta nell'area del Parco archeologico e paesaggistico di Agrigento. I dati raccolti con il survey e con l'esame delle riprese aeree storiche e attuali e di riprese satellitari sono confluiti in un Sistema Informativo Territoriale, che permetterà la gestione attiva delle aree archeologiche comprese nel Parco. Il sistema inoltre permetterà di comprendere meglio il rapporto insediativo, culturale e simbolico tra la colonia greca e il territorio suburbano. The methodology and the results of the archaeological survey carried out in the area of ​​the Archaeological and Landscape Park of Agrigento are…

Halloysite Nanotubes Loaded with Calcium Hydroxide: Alkaline Fillers for the Deacidification of Waterlogged Archeological Woods

2018

A novel green protocol for the deacidifying consolidation of waterlogged archaeological woods through aqueous dispersions of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1500 and halloysite nanotubes containing calcium hydroxide has been designed. First, we prepared functionalized halloysite nanotubes filled with Ca(OH)2 in their lumen. The controlled and sustained release of Ca(OH)2 from the halloysite lumen extended its neutralization action over time, allowing the development of a long-term deacidification of the wood samples. A preliminary thermomechanical characterization of clay/polymer nanocomposites allows us to determine the experimental conditions to maximize the consolidation efficiency of the wood…

Nota di archeologia postclassica. A proposito della via dei sepolcri nella necropoli paleocristiana di Agrigento tra preesistenze e trasformazioni

2013

Trenta anni di scavi e ricerche nell'area della necropoli paleocristiana di Agrigento hanno evidenziato la presenza di una arteria che servì il cimitero dal IV all'VIII secolo. La strada riutilizzava il tracciato di un acquedotto di età greca che alimentava una serie di cisterne a loro volta trasformate in spazi funerari privati o comunitari. Dopo l'abbandono e la distruzione e del cimitero, nell' XI secolo, nell'area fu impiantata un'officina ceramica per la produzione di vasellame di uso comune.

Interventi di conservazione e restauro: il recupero, il restauro e la conservazione

2019

Durante uno scavo archeologico, molto spesso sorge la necessità della messa in sicurezza, tramite una serie di interventi puntuali mirati alla stabilizzazione dell’integrità strutturale, dei reperti rinvenuti; come nel caso della Casa III M del quartiere Ellenistico Romano di Agrigento, un contesto di crollo in cui sono stati rinvenuti reperti ad intonaco. Contestualmente a tali ritrovamenti sono stati condotti numerosi pronto-interventi ed in un caso, su un particolare frammento di intonaco proveniente da una mensola, è stato eseguito un intervento di restauro che ha permesso di ripristinare le condizioni di integrità del frammento. During an archaeological excavation, very often the need …

The production of western Greek amphorae in Agrigento (Southern Sicily): An archaeometric and archaeological characterisation of the late 6th-4th cen…

2022

This paper aims at an interdisciplinary, archaeological and archaeometric characterisation of the western Greek amphorae series produced in late Archaic and Classical-period Agrigento (southern Sicily). The research is based on a macroscopic examination, according to the standardised methods of Fabrics of the Central Mediterranean (FACEM), combined with petrographic analyses of 21 amphorae samples of presumed local fabric found in Agrigento itself. These were found in the artisanal area outside Porta V, in the excavations South of the temple of Zeus, and in several Sicilian consumption sites. Furthermore, a selection of 12 coarse ware samples and three tiles, all of supposed local manufactu…
