Science for Cultural Heritage
The aim of the conference was to discuss the contribution of physics and other sciences in archaeological research and in the preservation of cultural heritage. Considering that the mission of ECSAC is to promote the interaction among the diverse cultures of the peoples from the lands on the Adriatic and Ionian seas, it is apt that the major themes were related to the rich history and pre-history of this region - from Greek-Roman archaeology on the eastern Adriatic coasts to the palaeoanthropology of the Neanderthals of the Vindija caves in Croatia, from the Roman city of Aquileia to the pleistocenic cave of Homo heidelbergensis in the Karst of Visogliano (Trieste), from the Roman ship Julia...
Ethnic Expositions in Italy, 1880 to 1940
Comprehensively analyzing for the first time the phenomenon of ethnic living expositions in Italy between the 19th and 20th centuries, this book deals with the subject from a comparative European perspective and over the long term, studying analogies and differences in precedents as far back as the early modern age. The research, which seeks to go beyond the simplistic concept of "human zoos," intends to highlight the intentions, assumptions, and mechanisms of realization of the exhibitions of exotic living humans and the reactions from both the exhibited subjects and the public, exploiting a wide variety of heterogeneous sources capable of bringing out a kind of widespread popular ethno-ant...
In Search of Pre-Classical Antiquity: Rediscovering Ancient Peoples in Mediterranean Europe (19th and 20th c.)
The book aims rethinking the cultural history of Mediterranean nationalisms between 19th and 20th centuries by tracing their specific approach to antiquity in the forging of a national past. By focusing on how national imaginaries dealt with this topic and how history and archaeology relied on antiquity, this collection of essays introduces a comparative approach presenting several cases studies concerning many regions including Spain, Italy and Slovenia as well as Albania, Greece and Turkey. By adopting the perspective of a dialogue among all these Mediterranean political cultures, this book breaks significantly new ground, because it shifts attention on how Southern Europe nationalisms are an interconnected political and cultural experience, directly related to the intellectual examples of Northern Europe, but also developing its own particular trends. Contributors are: Çiğdem Atakuman, Filippo Carlà, Francisco Garcia Alonso, Maja Gori, Eleni Stefanou, Rok Stergar, Katia Visconti.

A Mythological Approach to Exploring the Origins of Chinese Civilization
Is the lion the symbol of China? Or should it be the dragon or the phoenix? This book makes a provocative interpretation of the Chinese ancient totems such as the bear and the owl. Taking a mythological approach, it explores the origin of Chinese civilization using the quadruple evidence method, which integrates ancient and unearthed literature, oral transmission, and archeological objects and graphs. It testifies to the authenticity of unresolved ancient myths and legends from the origins of Chinese Jade Ware (6200BC-5400 BC) to the names of the Yellow Emperor (2698–2598 BC) and the legends from the Xia (2010BC-1600BC), Shang (1600BC-046BC), Zhou (1046BC-771BC), and Qin (221BC-206BC) Dynasties. The book lays the foundation for a reconstruction of Chinese Mythistory. With well over 200 photographs of historic artifacts, the book appeals to both researchers and general readers.

Prehistoric and early Roman settlement in northwestern Istria
This publication presents the results of excavations carried out at an early Roman settlement at Sermin near Koper, not far from Trieste, Italy. It covers the extent of the settlement, the stratigraphy, and the remains of Bronze Age houses and Roman leveling of the ground. Metal, glass and bone material finds, as well as Prehistoric and Roman pottery, are analyzed in detail. It was determined that settlement was of long duration, probably continuous from the Middle Neolithic to the middle of the first century AD. Due to their abundance, material finds dating to the Middle and Late Bronze Ages as well as the Early Roman period are more striking. Sermin was constantly situated in the middle of trade and cultural currents between Italy, the Balkans and the Mediterranean region. The material finds are also an indication of the significance of the settlement during the period of the earliest Romanization.

L'Archeologia dell'Adriatico dalla Preistoria al Medioevo. Atti del Convegno Internazionale (Ravenna, 7-8-9 giugno 2001)
Il volume raccoglie gli atti del convegno internazionale 'L'Archeologia dell'Adriatico dalla Preistoria al Medioevo' (Ravenna, 7-8-9 giugno 2001) dedicato ad uno dei grandi 'luoghi' della storia del mondo antico, attorno al cui bacino è fiorito nei secoli uno straordinario intreccio di rapporti storici, sociali, economici, culturali. Attraverso un'ampia panoramica di ricerche, progetti, indagini, iniziative di valorizzazione che hanno per oggetto l'Adriatico e le terre che lo circondano, le molteplici relazioni fra l'uomo e questo mare si declinano in un'infinità di sfumature, guardando di volta in volta all'archeologia delle comunicazioni marittime, alle emergenze storiche sommerse, alle direttrici di transito di uomini ed idee, alle innumerevoli tracce lasciate dagli uomini durante il loro passaggio o il loro insediarsi. Si ricompone così una narrazione più vasta, al cui centro saldamente sta l'Adriatico, con le sue rotte, con i suoi approdi, con l'essere 'spontaneo' mediatore culturale per le civiltà insediate lungo le sue coste o per i popoli dell'interno, sospinti sul litorale dalla ricerca di un affaccio, dal desiderio di contatto con i propri simili.
