Westerhoff (Utrecht) Under the auspices of: CAI – Club Alpino Italiano AIQUA Associazione Italiana per lo Studio del Quaternario Foreword The Alps are at the origin of the basic ideas on the Quaternary: climate variability and glaciations. Since more than one century climatic-environmental changes and Quaternary stratigraphy are strictly connected. Under the pressure of the growing environmental problems, the exponential increase of the Quaternary studies progressively brought forward a highly complex time-space pattern of climate changes, driven both by external and internal forcing. Although no more the global reference area for the Quaternary, the Alps, at the boundary between the polar and the tropical systems and between the Atlantic oceanic and the Eurasian continental regions, still are a key area to unravel the entangled matter of facts and causes in the puzzle of climate variability. The stratigraphic research has a basic role to this purpose, both to scan in detail the local sequence of geologic events and to establish reliable correlations, at a local, regional and global scale. The new numerical dating techniques and the improved correlation methods are essential to the progress in this field. A consolidated and time-constrained stratigraphic framework is essential to the geologic mapping, to paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions, to pre-historic archaeology and to the history of man-environment interactions. This conference organized by the INQUA Subcommission on European Quaternary Stratigraphy aims properly to update and to promote the knowledge of the Quaternary stratigraphy and evolution of the Alpine region in the European and global framework. The conference will focus on five themes. - The glacial history of the Alps. Here, where the glacial theory was born, still many points need to be clarified, from the extent reached by ice in the different time slices, to the different responses of the various part of the chain, to the glacioisostatic vs. tectonic effects on erosion/denudation and recent rising of the Alps. - The last glacial-interglacial transition and the Holocene. Again the Alps, one of the first reference areas for the Late Glacial, still deserve intensified studies on this crucial turnabout of the Earth environment, exploiting all the different environmental records available. - Continental vs. marine Quaternary events, registration and correlation. The limit between land and sea has been for long time the boundary between two different Quaternary stratigraphies. Acknowledging the specific peculiarities of each record, the need to reconcile the two stratigraphies is requested, not only for correlations but also to understand the roles of ocean and continents in the climate variability. - Climatic and biotic evolution of the Alpine region and surrounding areas: Pliocene and Quaternary. Paleobiology keeps a traditional role in stratigraphy. The wealth of the Plio- Quaternary continental biotic records adds value to the bio-stratigraphic tools, allowing the understanding of the dynamics of the ecosystems under the pressure of climate changes. - The contribution of geochronology to the Pleistocene stratigraphy. Precise dating, with high time resolution, is essential both to long-distance correlation and to detect the high- frequency climate changes, those that are of major concern for the immediate future. The use of new methods in areas or time intervals poor or devoid of the materials requested by traditional methods, may again bring the Alps to the advanced front of the Quaternary studies. Two field trips will follow the conference. The first is dedicated to the long lacustrine sequences of the Lombard Prealps: well known since the late XIX century, new studies put in evidence their importance for the Early Pleistocene stratigraphy and climate and vegetation history, also with annually-resolved time intervals. With the second field trip, two of the major south-alpine morainic amphitheatres will be visited, concluding with the visit to the archaeological site of Fumane, where a highly detailed Late Pleistocene sequence has been excavated. The Milano group of Quaternary scientists is particularly glad to welcome the colleagues from the European countries and to have the opportunity to discuss together the South-Alpine Quaternary stratigraphic records.

Later the distinctness of the genus Sarajana was questioned, and S. apfelbecki classified within the genus Belgrandiella. Our study on Sarajana from five localities in Bosnia and Herzegovina including Vrelo Bosne (type locality of the Sarajana apfelbecki) confirms that the morphology of the characteristic penis, as well as the female reproductive organs, with an exception of the presence of small, vestigial proximal seminal receptacle, overlooked by Radoman contradict a close relationships with Belgrandiella. Two molecular markers: mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and nuclear histone 3 (H3) were used to infer phylogeny: Sarajana was placed within the Hydrobiidae, Sadlerianinae, but far from Belgrandiella, with Graecoarganiella Falniowski et Szarowska, 2011 as a sister taxon.

  • Kapitel 2 Bauwissen Im Italien Der Frühen Neuzeit Hermann Schlimme, Dagmar Holste, Jens Niebaum
    Kapitel 2 Bauwissen im Italien der Frühen Neuzeit Hermann Schlimme, Dagmar Holste, Jens Niebaum Das Bauwesen der Frühen Neuzeit in Italien ist ein sehr großes sowie gut dokumentiertes und bearbeitetes Forschungsfeld. Der vorliegende Beitrag versucht, einen Überblick über das Bauwissen dieser Epoche zu geben. Die Texte wurden von drei Autoren erstellt.1 2.1 Die Frühe Neuzeit in Italien 2.1.1 Naturräumliche Bedingungen Italien ist mit Ausnahme der Po-Ebene und Teilen Apuliens eine bergige bis hochgebirgi- ge Halbinsel. So prägen sich die Regionen kulturell unterschiedlich aus. Die Topographie bringt zudem reiche Natursteinvorkommen mit sich, die sich von Region zu Region un- terscheiden und die regionale Architektur maßgeblich beeinflussen. Die Verwendung von Marmor ist für ganz Italien charakteristisch. In der Po-Ebene, wo es keinen Naturstein gibt, entwickelte sich dagegen eine auf Ziegelstein beruhende Baukultur. Holz ist in ganz Italien vorhanden. Eine für Italien typische Ansiedlungsform sind Bergdörfer und Bergstädte, die auf die geographischen Vorgaben reagieren und sich gleichzeitig gut verteidigen lassen. Da die Schifffahrt entlang der Küsten und auf den Flussunterläufen eine große Bedeutung hatte, 1Hermann Schlimme erstellte folgende Textteile: Abschnitt 2.1: „Die Frühe Neuzeit in Italien“ (vollständig); Ab- schnitt 2.2 „Bauverwaltung“, einleitender Absatz und Unterabschnitt „Städtische Statuten und Bauvorschriften“, „Capitolati, cottimo und andere bauspezifische Organisationsformen“, „Die Capitani di Parte Guelfa und die Uffi-

  • Dossier Museo E Parco Archeologico Delle Navi Antiche Di Pisa
    DOSSIER MUSEO E PARCO ARCHEOLOGICO DELLE NAVI ANTICHE DI PISA 1. INQUADRAMENTO TERRITORIALE Superficie e confini Pisa si trova ad una decina di chilometri dal mare sulle rive del fiume Arno, ad un’altezza di 4 metri s.l.m.; la posizione geografica particolarmente favorevole fa sì che la città sia un nodo di comunicazione (viaria, ferroviaria e aeroportuale) fondamentale a livello regionale e nazionale. L’estensione territoriale del Comune di Pisa è 187,1 Kmq con una densità di popolazione pari a 488,89 abitanti per Kmq (di cui il 52,64% donne e 47,36% uomini); per quanto riguarda il centro storico la sua estensione è pari a 8 Kmq con una densità di popolazione di 1625,35 abitanti per Kmq (di cui il 53,35% donne e il 46,64% uomini). Il Cantiere delle Navi Antiche di Pisa è ubicato poco all'esterno delle mura della città medievale, in direzione del mare. Qui nel 1998, in occasione della costruzione di un centro direzionale delle Ferrovie dello Stato, in seguito al rinvenimento di manufatti lignei, si decise di procedere, nel minor tempo possibile, all'esplorazione del sito e fu quindi allestito un cantiere di carattere estensivo, corrispondente all'area interessata. Il ritmo incalzante dei rinvenimenti (con 16 relitti, interi o parzialmente conservati, individuati in pochi mesi) portò nell'estate nel 1999 alla decisione di destinare il sito alla ricerca. Dal dicembre dello stesso anno, stipulato l'accordo che passava alla Soprintendenza ai Beni Archeologici per la Toscana la piena responsabilità dell'area, si è proceduto con una nuova strategia di intervento che, secondo i principi della stratigrafia archeologica, permettesse il recupero e il trasferimento dei relitti individuati in luoghi adatti alla conservazione e al restauro.

The species, found only in the freshwater part of the river, had been regarded as possibly extinct. A few collected specimens were used for this study. Morphological data confirm the previous descriptions and drawings while molecular data place Tanousia within the family Hydrobiidae, subfamily Sadlerianinae Szarowska, 2006. Two different sister-clade relationships were inferred from two molecular markers. Fossil Tanousia, represented probably by several species, are known from interglacial deposits of the late Early Pleistocene to the early Middle Pleistocene

  • Ambito 13 Area Pisana
    QUADRO CONOSCITIVO Ambito n°13 AREA PISANA PROVINCE : Pisa TERRITORI APPARTENENTI AI COMUNI : Bientina, Buti, Calci, Calcinaia, Cascina, Pisa, Ponsacco, Pontedera, San Giuliano. Terme, Vecchiano, Vicopisano OROGRAFIA - IDROGRAFIA La morfologia del territorio incluso in questo ambito si caratterizza per la presenza di una consistente area di pianura delimitata di rilievi collinari delle Cerbaie e delle colline livornesi rispettivamente ad est e a sud, mentre a nord fa da cornice il sistema dei monti pisani e d’Oltreserchio. Il litorale sabbioso con ambienti dunali ed aree umide definisce il limite occidentale di questo ambito. L’evoluzione geo-morfologica della pianura pisana è legata da un lato alla formazione di bacini tettonici di sedimentazione compresi tra i rilievi (monti pisani, monti livornesi e di Cascina Terme), dagli apporti di materiali alluvionali dell’Arno e del Serchio, nonché dalle variazioni del livello del mare che hanno coperto i sedimenti fluviali recenti con sedimenti marini determinando caratteri paesaggistici differenziati. La pianura di Pisa è caratterizzata da una complessità stratigrafica derivante dall’alternanza di terreni con diversa granulometrica che configura un sistema acquifero multi strato. Queste caratteristiche ricorrenti nelle pianure costiere sono l’esito di due fenomeni contrapposti ovvero la subsidenza, con tendenza all’ingressione marina, e l’alluvionamento per tracimazione di materiale fluviale. Laddove le esondazione dei corsi d’acqua hanno trasportato minor quantità di sedimenti o depositato materiali più fini, si sono configurate aree depresse, per i minor livelli altimetrici, talvolta soggette ad impaludamento (aree a nord del Serchio, aree ai piedi dei monti pisani, area di Coltano-Stagno). La fascia di transizione tra la pianura pisana ed il mare è costituita da ambienti costieri caratterizzati dalla presenza di lidi e dune, talvolta associati a lagune retrostanti, le cui formazioni derivano dall’accumulo di sedimenti trasportati da correnti litoranee e dall’effetto dell’azione dei venti.

Molecular studies on their relationships confirmed the distinctness of this family. Their monophyly, however, remained doubtful, since the Moitessieriidae did not form a distinct clade in the phylogenetic tree based on the most commonly applied mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI), and the representative of the family Cochliopidae occupied a position among the moitessieriid clades. In the present paper two new nuclear loci, namely histone H3 gene and ribosomal internal transcribed spacer ITS2, have been applied to resolve the status of the Moitessieriidae.

A few minute Belgrandiella-like gastropods were found in three springs in Georgia. Molecular markers: mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and nuclear histone (H3) were used to infer their phylogenetic relationships. The phylogenetic trees placed them most closely to Agrafia from continental Greece. The p-distances indicated that two species occurred in the three localities. Two specimens from Andros Island (Greece) were also assigned to the genus Agrafia. The p-distances between the four taxa, most probably each representing a distinct species, were within the range of 0.026–0.043 for H3, and 0.089–0.118 for COI.
