The Holocaust, the Founding of Israel and the Arab-Israeli War in the British, Swedish and Finnish Press
2011
The fact that the gap between the founding of the state of Israel and the end of the Holocaust was only three years (almost to date), creates, at least in retrospect, a strong link between the two events. Articulating this view, Walter Harrelson has written that ‘[A] shamed world was certainly ready, after the Holocaust and the struggle of Jews from Europe to get to Israel, to support the Partition Plan that led to the establishment of the state.’1 Yehuda Bauer has argued that the birth of a nation ‘bridges the gap between an unconquered past tragedy and the hope for the resurrection of an almost mortally wounded people’.2 Peter Novick also agrees that the link exists, although in less cert…

The Treasure in Law and Early Archaeology
2012
The problem of who should be the rightful owner of a discovered treasure, and its distribution between the finder, the owner of the land on which the treasure was found and the fisc, is as ancient as it is difficult. The parable of the treasure hidden in a field (Matthew 13:44) hinted at that problem: the man who had found the treasure in the field buried it again and bought the field. Evidently, the Bible assumed that only the owner of the land where the treasure was buried had any claim to it. Some historians of law suggested a rather simple pattern that focused on two huge legal traditions. The Roman legal tradition had ruled the ancient empire. After the end of the Middle Ages, many par…
Short-term occupations at high elevation during the Middle Paleolithic at Kalavan 2 (Republic of Armenia).
2021
The Armenian highlands encompasses rugged and environmentally diverse landscapes and is characterized by a mosaic of distinct ecological niches and large temperature gradients. Strong seasonal fluctuations in resource availability along topographic gradients likely prompted Pleistocene hominin groups to adapt by adjusting their mobility strategies. However, the role that elevated landscapes played in hunter-gatherer settlement systems during the Late Pleistocene (Middle Palaeolithic [MP]) remains poorly understood. At 1640 m above sea level, the MP site of Kalavan 2 (Armenia) is ideally positioned for testing hypotheses involving elevation-dependent seasonal mobility and subsistence strateg…
Luca Matranga e il suo tempo storico
2021
This volume collects the proceedings of the XXX International Conference of Albanology organized by the Department of Cultures and Society and held on 5 and 6 May 2019 in Palermo and in the two Sicilian Albanian communities of Piana degli Albanesi and Santa Cristina Gela. The meeting was wanted both to inaugurate the Departmental Laboratory of Albanology on the occasion of the fourth centenary of the death of the author of the first book in Arbëresh, Luca Matranga (18 January 1569 - 6 May 1619), and to deepen the knowledge of a complex period of the cultural history of the Albanians, both of those who for centuries settled in southern Italy and of the others who reside on the eastern shores…
