La necrópolis megalítica de la Peña Oviedo (Camaleño, Cantabria)
1991
La excavaci ón del conjunto megalítico de la Peña Oviedo , pretende ser el inicio de un estudio más ampl io que aborde de manera global el fenómeno megalítico en las cuencas altas de los ríos Deva y Nansa. El total desconoc imie nto que se tenía hasta esta década, no ya del fenómeno megalítico, sino incluso de su existencia en estos valles montañosos del Occidente de Cant abria hace necesa rio un eswdio que ponga de manifies to sus características y las relaciones con las áre as vec inas. Un paso necesario para avanzar en este terreno es la pro specc ión sistemát ica de estas comarc as. pues el desconocimielllo de la extensión del fenómeno es tal que práct icamente cada día se incorporan nu…
Tell Shiyukh Tahtani, Nord Siria. Relazione sull'attività della Missione Eufrate nell'anno 2008.

Survey and excavations in the Middle Euphrates Valley, Syria. 2008 Season.
Tell Shiyukh Tahtani on the Euphrates. Highlights of the last excavation seasons
2010
In recent years (2006-09) the University of Palermo Euphrates expedition has continued rescue excavations at Tell Shiyukh Tahtani (the “Lower Hill of Sheikhs”) as part of the Tishreen Dam Salvage Project. Located on the left bank of the River south of Jerablus, in the land that once was the Carchemish district, this small mound has revealed a long occupation sequence from around 3.000 B.C. to Byzantine and early Islamic times. During the last three seasons we mainly concentrated in the investigation of the eastern slope of the upper tell (Area CD), where a continuous Bronze Age occupation has been detected. Apart from the later levels (EB IV, Middle and Late Bronze Age), one of the main goa…
3 He/4He Signature of Magmatic Fluids from Telica (Nicaragua) and Baru (Panama) Volcanoes, Central American Volcanic Arc
2022
Constraining the magmatic 3He/4He signature of fluids degassed from a magmatic system is crucial for making inferences on its mantle source. This is especially important in arc volcanism, where variations in the composition of the wedge potentially induced by slab sediment fluids must be distinguished from the effects of magma differentiation, degassing, and crustal contamination. The study of fluid inclusions (FIs) trapped in minerals of volcanic rocks is becoming an increasingly used methodology in geochemical studies that integrates the classical study of volcanic and geothermal fluids. Here, we report on the first noble gas (He, Ne, Ar) concentrations and isotopic ratios of FI in olivin…
Formation processes at a high resolution Middle Paleolithic site: Cueva Antón (Murcia, Spain)
2013
Cueva Anton is a Middle Paleolithic rockshelter located in the valley of the River Mula (Murcia, Spain). The archeological investigation of the site, which began with salvage work in 1991, resumed in 2006 and is still ongoing, uncovered a succession spanning most of MIS 3 and MIS 4 (ca. 75–36 ka) and featuring a well preserved human occupation record. This paper presents the first information about site stratigraphy and site formation processes. Geoarcheological data collected in the field and through micromorphological observation show that the archeological succession at Cueva Anton is mainly composed of alluvial sediments, with thin intercalations of gravitational and slope material. The…
Book Review. The Pleistocene of Untermassfeld near Meiningen (Thüringen, Germany).
2020
Around one million years ago (late Early Pleistocene), a major faunal turnover occurred in Europe, linked to the onset of increased climatic instability: the transition between Villafranchian and Galerian faunas. Few palaeontological sites in Europe documents this biological event, highlighting over all of them the site of Untermassfeld, near Meiningen (Thuringia, Germany), which provided an amazing fossil record, either in abundance, diversity, and good preservation.Previous results of the interdisciplinary research developed on Untermassfeld were published in three volumes of the monograph series of the Romisch-Germanischen Zentralmuseums, Mainz, released in 1997 and 2001, as well as in a…

Geophysical investigations at the Himera archaeological site, northern Sicily
2007
In this paper we present a geophysical survey that was carried out as a research activity during field trips to the Himera archaeological site, where relics of a large Greek settlement are still buried, effected by a joint group of archaeologists and geophysicists during an educational project. Two-dimensional (2D) resistivity and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys were performed to locate buried archaeological structures at this archaeological site. The results of the GPR surveys show some anomalies characterized by semi-hyperbolic shapes. In some restricted areas of the town, two grids of parallel GPR profiles were acquired while time- and depth-slices were calculated to identify the …
Durbi Takusheyi: a high-status burial site in the western Centralbilād al-sūdān
2012
Durbi Takusheyi is a burial site composed of at least eight mounds located between the modern towns of Katsina and Daura in northern Nigeria. Parts of the mounds were first excavated in 1907 by Herbert Richmond Palmer in cooperation with the Emir of Katsina and later again in 1992 in the course of a German research project under the lead of Dierk Lange, Bayreuth. After the 1992 excavation, the retained blocks were stored in the Jos Museum, Nigeria, for further analyses. In 2007 the Romisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum (RGZM) and the National Commission for Museums and Monuments in Nigeria (NCMM) started a project with the objective of completely restoring and analyzing the excavated artefacts…
"Der Rosenkavalier" (Il Cavaliere della rosa)
2014
Programma di sala della prima proiezione a Palermo del film muto di Robert Wiene "Der Rosenkavalier" (1926), con l'esecuzione delle musiche composte da Richard Strauss. L'autore del contributo ha realizzato anche la traduzione italiana delle didascalie originali del film in lingua tedesca: tale circostanza è segnalata nella locandina dello spettacolo, ma le didascalie non sono state ovviamente pubblicate sul programma di sala.
