  Named Entities for Computational Linguistics

  One of the challenges brought on by the digital revolution of the recent decades is the mechanism by which information carried by texts can be extracted in order to access its contents.</b></p> <p>The processing of named entities remains a very active area of research, which plays a central role in natural language processing technologies and their applications. Named entity recognition, a tool used in information extraction tasks, focuses on recognizing small pieces of information in order to extract information on a larger scale.</p> <p>The authors use written text and examples in French and English to present the necessary elements for the readers to familiarize themselves with the main concepts related to named entities and to discover the problems associated with them, as well as the methods available in practice for solving these issues.</p>

  Museums and new challenges: from digital curation to wellbeing enhancement. The case study of the archaeological collection of the Sigismondo Castromediano Museum

  This study is aimed at evaluating the combination of storytelling and eXtended Reality to enable the enjoyment of a museum collection for a fragile audience, namely people hospitalized in a hospital ward. The application involves the creation of immersive and interactive virtual scenarios, with the possibility of performing several activities, such as exploring a museum setting, according to Museum therapy principles, and practicing stimulating playful-recreational activities, according to Art therapy principles. The goal is to assess the impact of the fruition of the 3D archeological collection, in terms of promoting the psychological well-being of vulnerable people. The experimentation involved the Sigismondo Castromediano Museum in Lecce and took place at the Prof. Petrucciani Clinic (Lecce). During the experimental campaign, the team used a Virtual Reality headset, and two wearable devices for collecting and recording biosignals. This paper provides a description of the methodology adopted with a focus on the storytelling strategy.

  Museografia e informatica: la ricostruzione virtuale della tomba menfita del generale Horemheb

  The archaeological Museum of Bologna has produced a graphic computerized video on the Saqqara tomb of General Horemheb and its reliefs. At the beginning of the nineteenth century merchants of archaeological antiquities emptied the tomb: some of the reliefs which decorated its walls were taken away and sold to various European and North-American museums. Five of these are now in the Archaeological Museum of Bologna. In the years which followed its first discovery, the tomb was newly covered by the sand of the desert and was found out again only in 1975 by G. Martin. The publication of these excavations enabled experts to develop an hypothesis of the tomb reconstruction which has been subsequently reproduced on a video that allows visitors to enter Horemheb tomb "virtually". The video has been made by Antonio Gottarelli (TE.M.P.L.A. Tecnologie Multimediali per l'Archeologia): it will be available for sale on CD (interactive version) and videotape. A small portion of the video, a few seconds with reduced spatial dimensions, is available at: http://www.comune.bologna.it/bologna1/Cultura/Museicomun/Archeologico/VirtualEgyptian.htm1.

  Museo Virtuale dell’Informatica: un esempio emblematico

  The Virtual Museum of the History of Italian Computer Science is a project which was started in 1996 and, due to lack of funding, was never completed (and therefore is not available to the general public). The project, which presented a complete and, for that time, innovative "design", was carried out by the Politecnico di Milano and two CNR Institutes (now unified in the ISTI - Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell’Informazione "A. Faedo"). It includes an archive, where all basic information is stored, and two different interfaces: a direct search access to the archive, for specialised and expert users, and a navigation access via web, for extended public users. Information available includes documents and photographs, biographies, descriptions of achievements and innovations, etc. One special characteristic is the use of interviews to key persons, that recreates the heroic, pioneering atmosphere, typical of Computer Science in the 1950s. This use of first person narration as reported by the protagonists can be considered a precursor of solutions that became very common many years later (e.g. Web 2.0) and could be a model for archaeology in general.

  Museo and Web: un kit pratico per le istituzioni culturali che vogliono realizzare un sito web di qualità

  Museo and Web is a best practice, the result of shared results at a European level as part of the MINERVA project (http://www.minervaeurope.org/), which produced a series of very important guidelines in the field of the quality of cultural websites. One of these results was the creation of the open source CMS (Content Management System) Museo and Web, produced and funded by the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities, especially devoted to cultural institutions (museums, libraries, archives, etc.) that want to build a website. The importance of this CMS, characterised by modules especially planned for cultural institutions, is that it is not imposed by third parties, but is designed with the contributions of the cultural institutions which participate in the enrichment of the platform by expressing their needs. The diffusion of the kit (which also includes a series of guidelines on how to build the architecture of the websites of cultural institutions) contribute to increase awareness among the stakeholders of cultural institutions dealing with communication and web publishing on accessibility, usability and quality of cultural website in general. More than 150 Italian institutions have already built their websites with Museo and Web. A few hours of training are enough to learn how it runs and how to use it. In 2010, the source codes will be made available on the SourceForge platform, in order to share these results with a larger audience.

  Murallas urbanas de época romana en Hispania (siglos I a.C.- V. d. C.)

  La investigación sobre murallas romanas en la península ibérica ha experimento un notable avance en las últimas décadas, que permite definir las características edilicias de dichas obras entre el periodo de Augusto y el final de la Romanidad. El análisis de los datos arqueológicos permite desechar la hipótesis que apuntaba una supuesta actuación general de amurallamiento en época de Augusto. Durante las últimas décadas, la excavación de los recintos de algunas ciudades hispanas, considerados tradicionalmente como del periodo augusteo, ha permitido retrotraer su erección al siglo I a. C. Son obras con rasgos tipológicos y constructivos diferentes a las del periodo republicano anterior, pero también a los de los conjuntos augusteos, en los que se impone el empleo de opus caementicium para el núcleo de la muralla. La actividad constructiva se prolonga hasta mediados del siglo I d. C., e incluso hasta época flavia.A partir del último tercio del siglo III d. C., Hispania se vio inmersa en un nuevo proceso de refortificación. En las nuevas murallas urbanas se aplican las novedades más avanzadas en diseños defensivos de origen militar: torres ultrasemicirculares o cuadradas proyectadas fuera de la línea de la muralla, lienzos de 4 a 7 m de anchura para facilitar la movilidad de los defensores y el empleo de artillería, además de una mayor altura de las cortinas murarias (10-12 m) y un acortamiento de distancias entre las torres. El aspecto de las nuevas obras será completamente diferente a las de época anterior. A comienzos del siglo V parece tener lugar un segundo momento de actuación, restringido en este caso a algunas ciudades. Palabras clave: murallas romanas; Augusto; Tetrarquía.Topónimos: Hispania.Periodo: época altoimperial; época bajoimperial. ABSTRACTResearch on Roman walls in the Iberian Peninsula has witnessed significant advances in recent decades, making it possible to define the building characteristics of these works between the period of Augustus and the end of Roman times. Analysis of archaeological data rules out the hypothesis that pointed to a generalised phenomenon of wall erection in the time of Augustus. During recent decades, the archaeological examination of the walls of some Hispanic cities, traditionally considered to be from the Augustan period, has made it possible to trace their construction back to the 1st century BC. These are works with typological and constructive patterns different from those of the previous republican period, but also from those of the Augustan ensembles, in which the use of opus caementicium prevails in the nucleus of the wall. Construction continued until the middle of the 1st century AD, and even until Flavian times.From the last third of the 3rd century AD onwards, Hispania underwent a new process of urban refortification. In the new urban walls, the most advanced innovations in defensive designs of military origin were applied: ultra-semicircular or square towers projected beyond the line of the wall; the width of wall-walks was increased to 4-7 metres to facilitate the mobility of the defenders and the use of artillery; the height of wall curtains was increased to 10-12 metres; distances between towers were reduced.  These new works were completely different in appearance from those of the previous era. At the beginning of the 5th century, a second phase of wall building seems to have taken place, restricted in this case to a number of cities. Keywords: Roman Walls; Augustus; Tetrarchy.Place names: Hispania.Period: Early Empire Period; Late Roman Period. REFERENCIASAbad Casal, L.

  Multiuser interaction in an archaeological landscape: the Flaminia project

  he virtual reconstruction of the archaeological landscape is an holistic process of great complexity, that is made of relations and includes in a virtual ecosystem many kinds of data, according to a multidisciplinary approach. This system of relations, interactions and behaviours assumes cultural, psychological and perceptive relevance. In this paper we'll present the project dedicated to the Roman “Via Flaminia”, an important consular Roman road, built in 220 B.C. by Gaio Flaminio. In that period the road begun in the center of Rome and continued toward north, along the Tiber valley, the Appennini mountains and then it descended toward the Adriatic sea along the Metauro valley until Fanum Fortunae (Fano); from here it continued toward Pesaro and finally reached Ariminum (Rimini) following the coast (Fig 1). The project, started in 2005 and supported by Arcus Foundation, has the goal of exploiting and diffusing its knowledge and historical context, focusing mainly on five important archaeological areas, in the northern part of Rome: Ponte Milvio (the important bridge where the emperor Constantino defeated Massenzio in October 28th of 312 A.D.); Tor di Quinto and Grottarossa (where the road is partially conserved together with its funerary monuments); Villa of Livia (the superb roman villa of Augustus's wife) and finally Malborghetto (a Roman arch transformed today in a museum) (Messineo, 1991; Messineo, 1993). The final result of the project is the creation of a Virtual Reality application that will be installed in the National Museum (Museo delle Terme di Diocleziano) in Rome. Here a room will be specifically dedicated to the virtual musealisation of the road “Via Flaminia”, through a network of four PC and a main, wider, screen, a sort of virtual theater connected with each single PC. The project will be presented to the public in 2007.

  Multispectral and high-resolution images as sources for archaeological surveys. New data from Iraqi Kurdistan

  The paper presents the results of a two-year archaeological survey carried out in the Iraqi Kurdistan, namely within the Navkur Plain that has been extensively explored by the University of Udine since 2012. The surveys were planned in advance using Remote Sensing products available online and processed with Google Earth Engine, a large-scale cloud computing service specifically designed to process geospatial big data and especially satellite imagery. Images from Landsat 5, Landsat 7 and Sentinel-2 platforms were selected, processed and assessed. After two years, an overall number of 46 new and previously unknown sites have been localized and surveyed, contributing to the knowledge of the past history of this portion of the Kurdistan region and testing the use of Remote Sensing cloud-computing applications in the context of Near Eastern archaeological research.

  Multisensor-multiscale approach in studying the proto-historic settlement of Bostel in northern Italy

  This paper presents the combined use of UAV-derived Digital Elevation Models, optical and IR imaging and multispectral satellite images to produce a (micro)topographic survey of the proto-historic village of Bostel, in the municipality of Rotzo (province of Vicenza, Italy). It aims to improve our knowledge of the structural organization of the site. Different vegetation indices were calculated from the multiband images to enhance the grass and soil-marks in open field, allowing the identification of buried structures. Close-range images were acquired with a commercial DJI Phantom 2 and a customized unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), equipped with both high-resolution digital and IR cameras. Structure from Motion was used on the acquired data to create digital elevation models (DEM) of sample areas, which were enhanced by using different data visualization techniques. Remote sensing analyses were then combined with fieldwork data, producing a complex environmental model. The houses found during the excavations seem to be embedded in a framework of structures for the sake of space organization, defense and control. Moreover, the presence of a dense network of terraces and buildings, running right up to the south-eastern ridge of the promontory, confirms the existence of an intense human occupation of the entire area.

  Multimedia methods for excavation reports and archives using Microcosm

  This paper presents an update of my work on producing a tool for compiling and organizing electronic excavation archives with hypermedia function. The key to providing a usable tool lies in its flexibility to be incorporated with existing practices and software. As much data is already being processed and stored on computer, it would be an advantage to be able to continue using this data in its present format, without having to alter it. Therefore a program has been designed that will be able to cope with the diversity of formats in use and allow most users to continue their existing practices with existing programs and data collections, but with the added functionality and improved data access. The Open Hypermedia System MICROCOSM, which provides a useful and flexible framework to group the data within the excavation report lay-out, is being adapted for archaeological requirements. While MICROCOSM already offers good data organization and linking facilities that do not need to be improved further, tools that will aim to solve archaeological problems are being added. This involves the writing of a number of Visual Basic programs which will then perform these functions.

  Multimedia information systems for East African archaeology

  Archaeology is starting to face the challenges of electronic publication posed by advances in information technology; we are now able to offer almost all types of archaeological data in a single software environment, and have the opportunity to integrate hitherto discrete results. This paper describes the use of the University of Southampton’s ‘Microcosm’ open hypermedia system in an archaeological context. Microcosm is a set of programs running under Microsoft Windows which can support a variety of archaeological data, including databases, digitised site plans and survey data, synthetic text, and GIS images. The example uses the data generated by the Urban Origins in East Africa project, a Swedish-funded initiative to bring together archaeologists from ten East African countries and look at a regional problem. We suggest how the integration provided by multimedia can not only be a vital part of research work, but also be used in publicity, and provide the structure of a genuine regional resource.

  Multimedia digital solutions from image and range based models for ancient landscapes communication

  The paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary project which aimed at the dissemination of some archaeological remains producing multimedia contents from multisensor surveyed 3D data. The scope of this application pertained to the use of 3D detailed models as a base for some video-installations with the aim to arouse the visitors’ emotions and improve their museum experience. This work has been applied to the Arch of Augustus located in the archaeological site of Susa and to two ancient Roman marble statues, found in the city of Susa in 1802 and now displayed in the Archaeological Museum of Turin. The Arch of Augustus is in a remarkable state of conservation. Its decorated frieze tells about the peace between the Romans and the Celts but it is difficult to see for visitors at the ground level. A multisensor 3D survey, by means of laser scanning technique and photogrammetric method, made it possible to process a detailed 3D textured model, which provided the base for the creation of a life-size model to be placed in the Museum of Susa on which a designed didactic video map is projected, which explains the meaning of the frieze. The two statues, known as ‘busti loricati di Susa’ and representing two Roman emperors, were surveyed with a photogrammetric method with the aim of processing two 3D models representing the statues before the 19th century restoration, on the basis of archival sources. These models provided the base for a video installation for the museum which simulates a holographic projection and explains the different armour parts highlighting them in sequence. Nowadays modern metric survey technologies allow us to collect and process very detailed 3D models able to satisfy a wide variety of applications field, from specialized representation to didactic final uses in museums exhibitions.

  Multidimensional Scaling of Northwest Coast Faunal Assemblages: A Case Study from Southern Haida Gwaii, British Columbia

  Multidimensional scaling (MDS) has been previously applied successfully to the analysis of artifact assemblages from archaeological contexts. Despite the suitability of archaeological faunal data to such analysis, MDS has not been applied to faunal data. In this study, MDS analysis was applied to 21 faunal assemblages from 14 Graham Tradition sites in the Kunghit region of southern Haida Gwaii. A separation of salmon-dominated and rockfish-dominated assemblages provided the strongest result of this analysis, strengthening previous interpretations made for these data. Additionally, MDS analysis revealed functional and regional variability that had not been previously identified. Functionality was reflected in the separation of differing site types, while regional distribution of resources was also highlighted by the analysis. These results contribute to an understanding of Kunghit Haida subsistence and settlement while demonstrating the utility of MDS for faunal analysis. Dans le passé, le « multidimensional scaling » (MDS) a été utilisé avec succès pour analyser des ensembles d'artefacts dans nombreux contextes archéologiques. Malgré l'apparente pertinence d'une telle analyse pour les données fauniques, le MDS n'a pas été appliqué aux études fauniques. Dans cette étude, nous avons utilisé le MDS pour analyser 21 collections fauniques provenant de 14 sites de la tradition Graham, dans la région de Kunghit dans le sud de Haida Gwaii. La séparation entre les ensembles dominés par le saumon et ceux dominés par le sébaste est le résultat le plus pertinent de notre étude, appuyant ainsi les interprétations antérieures de ces données. De plus, l'analyse MDS a révélé pour la première fois une variabilité fonctionnelle et régionale. La variabilité fonctionnelle s'est reflétée par la reconnaissance de différents types de sites, tandis que l'analyse a permis la mise en évidence de la distribution des ressources dans la région. Ces résultats contribuent à la compréhension des schemes d'établissement et de subsistance des Kunghit Haida, tout en démontrant l'utilité du MDS pour les analyses fauniques.

  Multi-temporal images and 3D dense models for archaeological site monitoring in Hierapolis of Phrygia (TK)

  Archaeological site monitoring and updating can nowadays benefit from the contribution of geomatic techniques. In recent times, image-based and range-based measurement systems have become increasingly interesting in excavation processes for monitoring purposes and large scale mapping, both from a terrestrial and aerial point of view. The paper will focus on the great challenge of monitoring sites over time, integrating and conforming multiple data coming from previous metric survey projects and image data collected in the past for different purposes. The test-site was the complex archaeological landscape of the ancient city of Hierapolis in Phrygia on which the MAIER – Italian Archaeological Mission of Hierapolis has operated since the 1960s and where the Politecnico di Torino conducted several survey campaigns. A set of multi-temporal datasets acquired in a series of campaigns in 1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, 2015 are presented, as well as their 3D multi-sensor models; the older dense models generated with archival images are intended to be compared and integrated with newer models generated by the LiDAR scans in 2012 and the UAV systems employed in the last mission in 2015. In particular, the case study was the massive complex of the ancient Bath-Church in the northern part of the city below the Northern Necropolis, and Building A of the Apollo Sanctuary, in the central Sacred Area near the Ancient Theatre. In these sites, many different sensors have been experimented with over the years and preliminary multi-temporal data integration has been tested in order to up-date and improve older archival records based on collected images and related to newer and updated documentation projects.

  Multi-image photogrammetry as a practical tool for cultural heritage survey and community engagement

  Multi-image photogrammetry is rapidly emerging as an important archaeological tool due in large part to the increasing level of automation in off the shelf software. The technique can offer significant reductions in the cost of archaeological survey and in the enhancement of survey results and is of particular value therefore to archaeologists working in contract-led context, which in many areas accounts for the majority of archaeological work (up to 80% in Scotland for example). Recent advances in multi-image photogrammetric software have resulted in highly automated workflows and significantly reduced the burden of technical knowledge required to produce survey results of an acceptable standard. Although the majority of multi-image photogrammetry surveys are still undertaken in an academic context the technique is increasingly being used by a far wider proportion of heritage professionals, many of whom are not first and foremost specialists in photogrammetry. The adoption of such highly automated workflows presents certain risks with regard to accuracy and reliability of results as noted by Remondino et al. (2012, 52). However the enormous potential of the technique for rapid and accurate survey and for reduced costs cannot be ignored and the challenge we face is to ensure that the highly automated workflows adopted by archaeologists in contract-led contexts are robust and reliable and underpinned by guidance and knowledge exchange. This paper is not intended as a comprehensive technical review of the technical aspects of the technique or of its development but instead focusses on highlighting its potential as a practical everyday tool for archaeological practitioners to apply in two of the main types of contract-led archaeological work, rapid survey and community engagement. A non-technical overview of the technique is given followed by case studies illustrating how the technique has been applied successfully in a non-academic contract-led and community engagement context. These surveys have been undertaken with very limited budgets for both survey and post-processing of data and typically with very limited time frames. In each case study, use of multi-image photogrammetry has allowed for better, faster and more cost-effective results than would otherwise have been possible. Case studies include a survey of an Iron Age fort, a rapid survey of exposed segments of an intertidal wreck, both commissioned for heritage management purposes and a community survey of a 17th century gravestone undertaken by children under the age of 16. Finally the obstacles to wider adoption in the contract-led sector are discussed and it is argued that a concerted approach is required to create and disseminate simple and reliable workflows.

  Movecost: An R package for calculating accumulated slope-dependent anisotropic cost-surfaces and least-cost paths

  Cost-surface and least-cost path analyses are widely used tools to understand the ways in which movement relates and engages with the surrounding space. They are employed in research fields as diverse as the analysis of travel corridors, land accessibility, site locations, maritime pathways, animal seascape connectivity, transportation, search and rescue operations. This work describes the ‘movecost’ package, designed for the free R statistical environment, which provides the facility to produce, in a relatively straightforward way, various accumulated slope-dependent cost surfaces and least-cost outputs from different models of movement across the terrain. The package motivation and significance are described, and the main software characteristics are outlined by means of an illustrative example.

  Mountain Fossil Landscapes and the “Archaeology of Us”: an object/pattern/scenery Recognition Experiment

La problematica concerne la difficoltà di interpretare correttamente sia da postazione remota, che a terra. delle anomalie ("features") che possono rapprsenatre l'esito, a volte sorprendentemente "equivoco" e simile (isomorfismo della frnomenologia di arrivo) di distinte entità ed eziogenesi naturali (fisografici e/o biologici) o antropogenetici in funzione della complesità del loro ciclo morfogenetico (processi deposizionali e post-deposizionali). Questo scenario di impasse interpretativa risulta notevolmente complicato in "paesaggi fossili palinsestici" come quello indagato, dove all'estrema varietà delle morfologie naturali si sovrappongono quelle antropogenetiche dovute a distinti cicli e/o modalità di frequentazione e impatto ( tipivamente: pastoralismo e paleometallurgia dell'età del Bronzo, "etnoarcheologia/archeologia del nonno", Grande Guerra. Una possibile linea di soluzione al problema risiede in una procedura sequenziale di : a) analisi comparata cross-validativa di serie temporal (time series anaysis) di classi di evidenze archeologiche (dalla teleosservazione- in particolare serie diacroniche di immagini mono/multi/iperspettrali satellitari, aerofotografiche, UAV, Radar e Lidar. alle prospezioni geofisiche, alla ricognizione di superficie, allo scavo); b)l'applicazione a questa base di conoscenza elaborata ed "aumentata" (image enhancing) di procedure di object/pattern/scenery recognition semi-automatica ( OBIA, GEOBIA eCognition), basate su "oggetti" (object-based) e su formali set di regole ricognitive (rule sets).

  Motion Sickness in Virtual Reality: An Empirical Evaluation

  Due to rapid growth in Virtual Reality (VR) technology, the industry of VR is expected to grow around $26.89 billion by 2022. However, with its extensive growth and immersive inclusion in human life, health-related issues are reported including, but not limited to nauseated feeling, vomiting, dizziness and cold sweats. These issues introduce a well-known side effect termed as motion sickness in VR users. Consequently, motion sickness limits the VR community in the full adaptation of this immersive technology. Since there is no lack of literature investigating motion sickness caused by VR, yet researches on the effect of VR on human's physiology is still in its infancy. This study presents novel findings, by comparing different factors such as gender, motion sickness experience, 3D games experience and VR experience. Furthermore, it reports the impact of concerning factors in a within-subjects design (46 participants participated in an experiment) under different virtual environment genres. The key findings of this article report that there is a significant difference in the amount of motion sickness when shifting from pleasant to the horror genre of the environment and having a strong dependence on gender. Moreover, the type of virtual environment is an essential factor that has a notable effect on the user's blood pressure, blood sugar and heart rate. However, past experiences with motion sickness and 3D games show no significant impact on the user's level of motion sickness.

  Mortuary Practices: Their Study and Their Potential

  The explanations of burial customs provided by previous anthropologists are examined at length together with the assumptions and data orientations that lay behind them. Both the assumptions and explanations are shown to be inadequate from the point of view of systems theory and from a detailed examination of the empirical record. A cross-cultural survey drawn from the Human Relations Area Files shows that associations do exist between measures of mortuary ritual variety and structural complexity. It was found that both the number and specific forms of the dimensions of the social persona commonly recognized in mortuary ritual vary significantly with the organizational complexity of the society as measured by different forms of subsisence practice. Moreover, the forms that differentiations in mortuary ritual take vary significantly with the dimensions of the social persona symbolized. Hence, much of contemporary archaeological conjecture and interpretation regarding processes of cultural change, cultural differentiation, and the presence of specific burial customs is inadequate as well as the ideational propositions and assumptions underlying these notions. Inferences about the presumed "relationships" compared directly from trait lists obtaining among archaeological manifestations are useless without knowledge of the organizational properties of the pertinent cultural systems.

  Morphometric analysis of Middle Stone Age tanged tools from South-Western Libya, central Sahara. A regional perspective

  Morphometric characters of Middle Stone Age stone artefacts from SW Fezzan (Libya, Central Sahara) are investigated. The raw data set is composed of illustrations of tanged pieces from surface scatters and from one stratified and dated site. Both metric and shape analyses are used. The first is carried out on the basis of maximum artefact width and tang width from the whole data set; the second adopts Elliptical Fourier descriptors obtained from 2D contours of tanged points. The geospatial analysis of morphometric variability in a regional perspective shows some meaningful variations between artefacts coming from ‘highland’ and ‘lowland’ physiographic contexts. While the latter encompass most of the regional variability, the former seem to show a narrower range of variation, which could depend on a number of reasons including diverse chronology of occupation, different technological traditions or ecological constraints. The general data patterning is here interpreted in the light of the hypothesis that the water resources kept by the mountainous areas also under environmental stress possibly allowed them to act as a refugium during the most arid phases of the late Pleistocene. An intense occupation of the lowlands during similar chronological time frames and environmental conditions is less likely because of an inferable lower carrying capacity. The regional artefacts’ morphometric variability could thus mirror the population dynamics reconstructed so far for the study area: the record from the mountain ranges testifies for a residual occupation of humans skilled in arid survival, while the lowlands possibly hosted more varied population dynamics especially during cyclically earlier wetter conditions.

  Morphometric analysis of engravings from photogrammetric point cloud data

  Simple photogrammetric data capture methods and equipment are able to measure accurate dense point clouds and detailed high geometric quality Digital Surface Models (DSMs) can be generated out of them. These products are frequently applied to the recording of rock art. However, their potential is not just limited to documentation and their use can be extended to perform analytic tasks. This paper describes the authors’ first experiments in the morphometric analysis of an engraved surface (an epigraph), based on a DSM generated from photogrammetric data. Slope and curvature models were derived from this DSM and used to identify and extract some structural features of the carvings, much in the same way as topographic landscape features can be identified on a terrain DEM.

  Morphometric analysis for geoarchaeological research: from testing different methods to results verification in the Romagna plain

  The Multi-Scale Relief Model (MSRM) is a novel algorithm developed for the visual interpretation of landforms. This was tested within the Romagna plain, the south-eastern part of the Po Valley (Italy), to establish whether it was able to detect fluvial ridges within this alluvial landscape. Since the MSRM is not the only method to carry out morphometric analysis, it was compared with other techniques previously used in landscape archaeology, such as the Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), the Topographic Position Index (TPI), and the Deviation from mean Elevation (DEV). At the same time, the SRTM 1 Arc-Second Global was compared with a Local DEM based on ground control points. Subsequently, the result of the MSRM algorithm was tested through targeted desktop- and field-based research. This validation phase proved essential to test the accuracy of the DEM-derived products. Furthermore, it allowed us to verify the existence of the detected fluvial ridges, to propose a chronological range for some of them, and, finally, to collect new archaeological evidence.

  More Than a Flight: The Extensive Contributions of UAV Flights to Archaeological Research – The Case Study of Curium Site in Cyprus

  The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a cost-effective technique for archaeologists that can be used to survey large archaeological areas in relation to traditional methods. Since UAVs are capable of surveying archaeological areas from above, datasets derived on this platform can be used to generate accurate orthophotos, digital terrain models (DTMs) and can generate a variety of datasets that can be used to document and identify archaeological areas. In addition, various sensors can be added to the UAV platform including multi-spectral, infrared and thermal cameras. This paper provides a detailed presentation of the application of UAVs using a commercial high resolution camera and details post-processing techniques applied to generate an accurate orthophoto and DTM to be used to survey the archaeological site and its landscape. A total of 331 images generated from a UAV survey of a portion of the site of Curium in Cyprus are used to illustrate methods of site documentation and archaeological survey to identify buried remains.

  Monuments on a migrating Nile

  River courses migrate, but many Egyptologists plot the present-day River Nile on maps of the valley in archaeological times. This may have misled interpretations of ancient monuments and settlements. We show a river migrating rapidly on historical timescales in the Luxor region, sweeping>5km across the valley at rates on the order of 2–3km per 1000 years. Satellite elevation data (SRTM), processed by a novel method, and Landsat imagery are used to trace ancient river levees and extend trends present in 200 years of archive maps thousands of years into the past. This supplements observations by Ptolemy (121–141 AD) and places local geo-archaeological studies in a wider spatial and temporal context. Satellite data are demonstrated to be a relatively quick and easy constraint upon ancient river courses, and a basis for investigations along the Egyptian Nile, even in logistically inaccessible regions.

  Monstres sans image. Images de monstres. Représentations et non représentations des monstres sur les vases

  Centrés autour, des trois thèmes particulièrement représentatifs des recherches de Françoise Thelamon : christianisme, sociabilités, lecture des images, ces mélanges, fruit de la collaboration de quarante-quatre de ses collègues et élèves, portent sur l'ensemble des pratiques plus ou moins ritualisées et des relations entre les individus et leurs dieux au sein des différentes sociétés. Cette lecture des formes des structures sociales se fait autant à travers l'analyse du discours des historiens anciens et modernes, qu'à travers l'étude des représentations iconographiques et qu'au moyen de la mise en évidence de la signification du discours et des images dans les sociétés étudiées : l'interprétation de l'historien est ainsi toujours modifiée par l'éclairage donné au document. La longue période chronologique choisie, de l'Antiquité à nos jours, souligne l'intérêt pour toutes les périodes de l'histoire, de celle qu'on veut ici honorer.

  Monitoring vegetation systems in the great plains with erts

  The Great Plains Corridor rangeland project being conducted at Texas A&M University utilizes natural vegetation systems as phenological indicators of seasonal development and climatic effects upon regional growth conditions. A method has been developed for quantitative measurement of vegetation conditions over broad regions using ERTS-1 MSS data. Radiance values recorded in ERTS-1 spectral bands 5 and 7, corrected for sun angle, are used to compute a band ratio parameter which is shown to be correlated with aboveground green biomass on rangelands.

  Monitoring the erosion and accretion of a human-built living shoreline with drone technology

  Climate change is forcing coastal communities to adapt to rising sea levels and increased storm activity. Living shorelines are a new adaptation to reduce the resulting erosion and inundation. Living shorelines use a variety of salt-tolerant plants and other natural material to absorb the increased wave energy and sea levels along the coast while supporting an enlarged coastal habitat for a variety of plants and animals, improving coastal resiliency. In 2019 the coastal city of Salem Massachusetts (USA) received a grant of $216,550 to build a living shoreline (approximately 240 by 11.75 m) in a barren cove along its coastline. Drone technology was used to monitor the erosion and accretion of the new living shoreline. A dji Phantom 4 Pro with a normal color camera was flown in 2018 (before the living shoreline was established), 2019 (just after the living shoreline was created) and in 2020 (after almost 18 months of wave and tidal activity to the living shoreline). Each drone flight created three products: an orthographic mosaic, a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and a Digital Surface Model (DSM). A ground survey was used to georeference the 2020 image and then the 2020 image was used to georeference the 2019 and 2018 images. The 2019 DTM minus the 2018 DTM accurately estimated the amount of fill used for the living shoreline within 3% of the actual amount of fill used. The 2020 DTM minus the 2019 DTM showed that 14.7% of the surface area of the living shoreline experienced erosion (24.35 m3) and 52.0% of the surface area experienced accretion (117.74 m3). Living shorelines can be widely used to protect coastal biodiversity and to adapt to rising seas and storm activity, providing a soft barrier instead of a hard barrier like sea walls.

  Money or ingots? Metrological research on pre-contact Ecuadorian “axe-monies”

  The so-called “axe-monies”, trapezoidal sheet metal objects made of arsenical copper alloy, are associated with graves and hoards of the Manteño-Huancavilca (AD 600–1532) and Milagro-Quevedo (AD 400–1532) cultures, both located on the southern coast of Ecuador. Historically, scholars identified these artifacts as money, relating them to a currency system. This paper aims to test this hypothesis by investigating the degree of standardization (if any) through analyzing an important sample of these objects. Metrological analysis of their dimensions (length, width) and weight show that the currency hypothesis is flawed because neither clustering of dimensions nor a tendency towards a single (range of) weight value(s) is found. We suggest that the axe-monies may have been used as ingots, for arsenical copper alloys were a key commodity in the framework of exchange involving different cultures across America’s Pacific coast.

  Monete e testi. Il cartaceo e l'immagine

  The case of the peculiar kind of jewellery with coins made by the XIX century Castellani manufactory from Rome, is the reason why a program of data elaboration has been implemented, to manage a quantity of written information (archives and figurative and technical descriptions) together with images: five different sheets are needed to join all the main elements. On this basis, an analogous database can be developed to investigate texts such as the XVI century manuscript by Pirro Ligorio, where coins are used to write a historical prosopography illustrating by means of drawings the history of the most famous old men. However, the coins are not always reproduced in the right way or the same coin is used on different occasions: a program like this can detect these cases. Computer analysis together with traditional humanistic research, will achieve, on a historical basis, remarkable results.

  Models and Modelling in Archaeology

  Being a discipline in-between natural science and humanities, archaeology has conflicting attitudes towards models. On the one hand the term model is currently very fashionable, while on the other hand there is a certain ignorance and even rejection of models in archaeology. This is caused by limited knowledge on models, the polarization of assumed paradigms, and different developments in different sub-communities in archaeology. Models in archaeology range from conceptual social models over typo-chronological models, regression models, network models and 3d models to simulations. One single definition of models seemingly does not work in archaeology, whereas a structured set of different terms based on an overarching definition of models would make sense. Since most models in archaeology are derived from other disciplines, the field would benefit from a trans-disciplinary modelling framework to enable efficient knowledge transfer. In order to establish a fruitful application of diverse modelling frameworks in archaeology, the establishment of disciplinary modelling communities together with a trans-disciplinary modelling community, as well as a proper education in modelling concepts and techniques, is required.

  Modelo predictivo de aprovechamientos vitivinícolas. La colonia romana de Hasta Regia, Hispania

  The Roman Limes represents the border line of the Roman Empire at its greatest extent in the 2nd century AD. It stretched over 5,000 km from the Atlantic coast of northern Britain, through Europe to the Black Sea, and from there to the Red Sea and across North Africa to the Atlantic coast. The remains of the limes today consist of vestiges of built walls, ditches, forts, fortresses, watchtowers and civilian settlements. The limes system is focused both on the presence of natural physical barriers, such as the Rhine and Danube rivers in Europe and the Sahara Desert in North Africa, either on the presence of fortified sections such as the Hadrian’s wall or the Germanic-Rhaetian limes. The latter two are the best preserved and studied section. However, the limes sections in which natural barriers were exploited to mark the boundary of the area under Roman control are less well known. Over the past two decades considerable progress has been made in the knowledge of limes areas such as the Rhine sector. In this area the river was exploited as a natural barrier, and control of the area was based on the presence of two larger legionary camps around which, along the southern course of the Rhine, small auxiliary camps gravitated. Only some of these encampments have been investigated and their position confirmed by archaeological excavations. The position of the other encampments is still speculated and awaiting verification. In this contribution, in order to verify the position of these hypothetical forts, through GIS systems a visibility analysis and path distance analysis were carried out based on the location of certain sites and taking into account the ancient road routes and the geomorphology of the soil.
