Science For Cultural Heritage: Technological Innovation And Case Studies In Marine And Land Archaeology In The Adriatic Region And Inland
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 Jul...
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...
Grotta Mora Cavorso, from Protohistory to Present Times
This volume contains the results of archaeological research carried out at Grotta Mora Cavorso, a fascinating cave in the still-pristine landscape of the Simbruini Mountains along the Upper Aniene River Valley, central Italy. The book is written by archaeologists for archaeologists, as well as for lovers of archaeology, history and speleology; it describes and critically discusses a wide range of scientific and anthropological analyses carried out over the last 15 years, while integrating them within the contemporary theoretical debate. The first of three volumes, it covers the Historic and Protohistoric periods of human occupation of the cave, revealing its complex and multi-layered use as a burial and ritual place, a possible monastic hermitage, stables and even a war refuge. This book serves to fill the gap in cave archaeology at both a local and wider geographical scale, while demonstrating the key importance of a previously neglected area, thus adding to the overall understanding of the use of caves in Mediterranean Europe.

40. Symposium zur Geschichte Millstatts und Kärntens
Die Ergebnisse des 40. Symposiums zur Geschichte Millstatts und Kärntens spiegeln die reiche und wechselvolle Kulturgeschichte dieser Region. Die Autorinnen und Autoren widmen sich ihr aus den Perspektiven der Landschafts-, Architektur- und Kunstgeschichte, Kodikologie und Wissenschaftsgeschichte. Sie diskutieren, ob die Ortenburg (bei Spittal) die größte Burg Kärntens gewesen ist, und zeichnen den Weg illuminierter Handschriften aus Italien nach Millstatt nach, als Beispiel für die internationale spätmittelalterliche Buchkultur. Sie zeigen, wie anhand Millstätter Handschriftenfragmente prominente Texte identifiziert werden konnten, was neue Fragen zum Bücherkanon der Klöster aufwirft. Einblicke in die Wissenschaftsgeschichte um 1900 eröffnet ein Briefwechsel des Anthropologen Felix von Luschan mit dem Prähistoriker Carlo de Marchesetti. Nah an den Debatten des Hier und Heute ist zudem die Auswertung einer Porträtsammlung Felix von Luschans, die eine Neubewertung der damaligen anthropologischen Porträtphotographie fremder Kulturen erlaubt.
