La prospezione archeologica: metodi tecnico-scientifici e approccio storico in Germania e in Italia/ Survey-Archaeologie: naturwissenschaftlich-techn…

2017

Dal 30.3. al 2.4.2015 si è tenuto nella Villa Vigoni sul lago di Como, sede del Centro italo-tedesco per l’eccellenza europea, nell’ambito della cooperazione nel campo delle scienze umane e sociali, il convegno sul tema „Survey Archäologie: Naturwissenschaftlich-technische versus historische Methode in Italien und Deutschland – La prospezione archeologica: Metodi tecnico-scientifici e approccio storico in Germania e in Italia”. Il convegno è stato organizzato dalla Georg August Universität Göttingen (Johannes Bergemann) e dalla Università degli Studi di Palermo (Oscar Belvedere). Il seminario si prefiggeva lo scopo di discutere da diversi punti di vista le tecniche e i metodi della prospezi…

Rilievo ed elaborazione di dati laser acquisiti con sistemi MMS in un parco urbano

2013

Questo articolo riassume l'esperienza acquisita tra il 2012 e il 2013 dal Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Ambientale, Aerospaziale e dei Materiali dell'Università degli Studi di Palermo per l'indagine integrata del Parco Ninni Cassarà a Palermo, Italia, e la successiva sperimentazione di metodi, strumenti e tecniche basate su ricerche in corso, per quanto riguarda l'acquisizione e l'elaborazione dei dati GNSS e laser Scanner. Il lavoro è stato affrontato al fine di selezionare le tecniche meno costose e veloci da applicare in fase di acquisizione. Dopo la prima monumentazione di sedici punti di controllo distribuiti all'interno del sito e rilevati con ricevitori GNSS, la è stata pianific…

Telerilevamento di aree archeologiche mediante dati iperspettrali MIVIS” (Remote sensing of archaelogical areas using hyperspectral MIVIS data)

2004

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between physical parameters and the spatial distribution of buried archaeological structures, using data acquired by the airborne hyperspectral sensor mivis in the visible, near infrared and thermal infrared wavelengths. The study areas are the territories of Halaesa, an important city in the Hellenistic-Roman period, and the Punic city of Mozia in Sicily. The influence of buried structures on thermal-radiative behaviour has been investigated using three parameters: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (ndvi), thermal inertia, and Thermal Balanced Gradient. These techniques are shown to be particularly effective in identifying surface p…

Paesaggio e memorie dell'antico: dall'archeologia all'arte contemporanea

2021

The aim of this paper is to compare different perceptions of cultural landscapes: the landscape of a Hellenistic-Roman city, Halaesa, reconstructed through archaeological surveys, and the contemporary landscape – natural and cultural – that characterizes the Tusa river, so-called “Fiumara d’arte”, where some installations of modern art have been made. Here the modern art is integrated with the landscape, in which it seems to emphasize some peculiar aspects, result of complex interactions. This analysis allow us to use the archaeological data to understand the relationship between human activities the symbolic aspects which connect ancient and modern communities to their territories.

Himera. Casa VI5: un tentativo di analisi funzionale

2013

The Author proposes, while emphasizing the difficulty of reinterpreting an old excavation, a functional analysis of a Himerean house which has been excavated in 1972. Noting that at Himera there is not a typical house plan, he begins with the description of structures and materials from House VI 5 and proposes a sociological and economical interpretation of their domestic use. House VI 5 is one of the largest houses in the city in the fifth century B.C. consisting of three parts (one for storage, a public place, and a private one) and attests that Himereans knew and used new domestic patterns from metropolitan Greece, in particular in Athens, and were actively involved in spreading cultural…

Cinquant’anni di ricerche e prospezioni nella chora imerese. Bilanci e prospettive

2018

The aim of this paper is to make a critical review of the archaeological research (excavation and survey) in the hinterland of Himera, from the beginning of the last century to the present time. The research is focused on: identifying the geographical and morphological characters, and the resources of the territory in Antiquity; analysing the distribution of the settlements from the Greek to the Medioeval times, both connected to the resources and to the various aspects of the landscape. Finally, the modern and contemporary activities, such as the agricultural use of the territory.

On the relationship between some production parameters and a vegetation index in viticulture

2013

The use and timing of many agronomical practices such as the scheduling of irrigation and harvesting are dependent on accurate vineyard sampling of qualitative and productive parameters. Crop forecasting also depends on the representativeness of vineyard samples during the whole phenological period. This manuscript summarizes the last two years of precision viticulture in Sicily (Italy); agronomic campaigns were carried out in 2012 and 2013 within the "Tenute Rapitalà" and "Donnafugata" farms. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index derived from satellite images (RapidEye) acquired at berry set, pre-veraison and ripening phenological stages (occurred at June, July and August respectively) ha…

Assessing actual evapotranspiration via surface energy balance aiming to optimize water and energy consumption in large scale pressurized irrigation …

2017

Satellite imagery provides a dependable basis for computational models that aimed to determine actual evapotranspiration (ET) by surface energy balance. Satellite-based models enables quantifying ET over large areas for a wide range of applications, such as monitoring water distribution, managing irrigation and assessing irrigation systems’ performance. With the aim to evaluate the energy and water consumption of a large scale on-turn pressurized irrigation system in the district of Aguas Nuevas, Albacete, Spain, the satellite-based image-processing model SEBAL was used for calculating actual ET. The model has been applied to quantify instantaneous, daily, and seasonal actual ET over high- …
