I livelli neolitici della Grotta San Michele di Saracena (CS)
2021
The cave of San Michele lies on the right side of the narrow Garga valley, facing the modern settlement of Saracena (Cosenza) at an altitude of 750 m.a.s.l. Research conducted from 1998 to 2009 revealed an uninterrupted stratigraphic sequence from the Neolithic period to the Bronze Age. Studies of material from the Neolithic levels and the availability of radiocarbon dating allow for a reconstruction of the history of the Calabrian Sibaritide-Pollino populations in this period, highlighting the area as a meeting point of different cultural influences coming from south-east and south-west of Southern Italy.
Importation and Trade of African Pottery in the Ancient Ecclesia Carinensis During the Late Roman Age
2015
The territory of Carini, on the northwest coast of Sicily, 30 km from Palermo, is often mentioned by ancient sources. According Thucydides in this area was located the ancient Hykkara. Itinerarium Antonini recalls the statio of Hykkara along the via Valeria. This route in Late Antiquity became very important for the deportatio ad aquam of the agricoltural products. Gregorius Magnus in the epistles (VI century A.D.) mentions a diocese of Karines, as witnessed alike by the acts of synods to 782. The archaeological excavations, still ongoing, in the Early Christian cemetery nearby the little modern town of Villagrazia di Carini have revealed the presence of a strong Christian community. The se…
Late Chalcolithic Northern Mesopotamia in Context. Papers from the Workshop held at the 11th ICAANE, MUnich, April 5th 2018
2022
Many of the debates that have until recently driven research into Mesopotamia's proto-urban phase (5th- 4th millennia BCE) have now been reassessed thanks to new fieldwork in Iraqi Kurdistan and new data into the relationships between the north and south of the Alluvium from hitherto poorly-documented regions. These debates were re-examined in the light of this new material during a workshop held at the ICAANE in 2018 in Munich, leading to unprecedented perspectives on the patterns of early urbanization, social mobility, and the organization of Late Chalcolithic communities. Drawing on research first presented at ICAANE, and building on the most recent data from surveys and excavations, thi…
Multitranslation within the Catalan and Valencian standards: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as a case in point
2010
En aquest article, en primer lloc definim la multitraducció i fem una classificació selectiva dels principals productes multitraduïts en llengua catalana. Després de situar la multitraducció com a objecte d’estudi de la sociologia de la traducció, analitzem el polisistema de la traducció en llengua catalana tot fent un repàs pels cosistemes lingüístic, politicoeconòmic i comunicativocultural, que determinen d’una o altra manera la multitraducció. Seguidament, presentem el cas de la multitraducció de Harry Potter i la pedra filosofal tot fent una anàlisi comparativa de les versions catalana i valenciana i analitzant la recepció que va tindre en l’àmbit acadèmic i literari. Per acabar, defini…
Dos supuestos testimonios del vino de <em>Saguntum</em> en Juvenal y en Frontón
2017
Although it has been believed Iuuenal V 24-49 and Fronto 134.23 ss. van den Hout (2nd ed.) do not probably refer to the Saguntum wine. Iuuenal appears to allude to Saguntine pottery, which proverbially was of low quality in the epigrammatic and satirical tradition. Fronto’s sentence would be one more example of confusion in the manuscript tradition between Saguntum and Zacynthos on the one hand, and Saguntinus and Zacynthius on the other.
Dinamiche di popolamento e processi di trasmissione culturale nel comprensorio madonita attraverso la ricostruzione della viabilità antica
2020
La ricerca sulle Madonie nasce con l’intenzione di approfondire l’evoluzione storica del popolamento sulla regione montana della Sicilia nord-occidentale. Il territorio, che solo in anni recenti è divenuto oggetto di più approfondite ricerche storico-archeologiche, si presenta estremamente ricco di risorse naturali e caratterizzato da un sostrato culturale variegato che abbraccia territori d’alta montagna, dediti ad una economia silvo-pastorale prettamente conservativa, e insediamenti costieri fortemente proiettati allo scambio e al commercio. A fine di comprendere lo sviluppo delle dinamiche d’insediamento di un’area molto estesa, si è proceduto anzitutto con la restituzione ipotetica dei …
The beaker phenomenon and the Genomic transformations of Northwest Europe
2018
Bell Beaker pottery spread across western and central Europe beginning around 2750 BCE before disappearing between 2200–1800 BCE. The mechanism of its expansion is a topic of long-standing debate, with support for both cultural diffusion and human migration. We present new genome-wide ancient DNA data from 170 Neolithic, Copper Age and Bronze Age Europeans, including 100 Beaker-associated individuals. In contrast to the Corded Ware Complex, which has previously been identified as arriving in central Europe following migration from the east, we observe limited genetic affinity between Iberian and central European Beaker Complex-associated individuals, and thus exclude migration as a signific…
Electrochemical discrimination of manufacturing types of pottery from Magna Mater Temple and Fora of Nerva and Caesar (Rome, Italy)
2018
Abstract The voltammetry of immobilized microparticles (VIMP) methodology is applied to a series of pottery samples from the Roman sites of Nerva's Forum (second half of 9th-early 11th A.D), Caesar's Forum (second half of 9th-early 11th A.D) and Magna Mater Temple (III century). The VIMP sampling applied to voltammetric and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements was applied by the first time to acquire archaeometric information on archaeological pottery. VIMP measurements using pressed sample pellets on gold electrodes in contact with air-saturated 0.10 M H2SO4 have permitted to detect voltammetric signals for the reduction/oxidation of Fe and Mn minerals as well as catal…
Non-invasive investigation on pigments of the Aeolian Islands Neolithic pottery
2023
The Neolithic painted pottery, spread all over southern Italy, is considered as an important chronological indicator for the development of VI-V millennium BC prehistoric settlements and cultural traditions. The goal of this work is to contribute to the study of this ceramic class through the chemical characterization of some samples coming from the Aeolian Islands. 16 different sherds have been selected and the pigments preserved in their decorations analyzed via non-invasive techniques: Fiber Optical Reflectance Spectroscopy (FORS), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Raman Spectroscopy and Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The different pigments, some of which no longer clearly visible to the naked e…
Lo scavo della Chiesa di Santa Maria Degli Angeli alla Gancia: indicatori archeologici della prima età islamica a Palermo
2014
Lo scavo in occasione del restauro della chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angeli alla Gancia a Palermo ha permesso di recuperare alcune stratigrafie affidabili relative alla prima età islamica a Palermo. Lo studio della ceramica ha restituito una serie di indicatori cronologici per il IX-X secolo nonché di proporre nuove cronologie per alcune classi di materiali. Relativamente alla storia della città questo scavo ha aggiunto alcune note importanti che riguardano il porto e la cittadella e mirale la al-Halisah.
