So, the Sardinian remains, which were already built in dramatic heritage will be available for any kind of user landscapes that could fascinate even the through high quality products characterized least interested visitor. But the real challenge by fascinating graphics and rich interactive lies in contextualizing the archaeological sites information. With these purposes, seventeen in their cultural environment. The idea comes sites among the most significant of the from the concept that the remains of ancient Sardinian history and culture, deployed in cultures can “tell a story” when they are eight areas of interests , have been virtually “examined” all together, as if they were the reconstructed with three-dimensional and pages of a book that otherwise would be realistic features , as a result of an accurate incomprehensible at the end. Basically, the research on the bibliographic and project aims to illustrate a monument or a cartographic material. The digital site showing the reasons why it is interesting reconstructions meet those reconstructive not just for itself but also and above all for its hypotheses that have been validated by the importance in the surrounding cultural and scientific and academic community and that natural environment. This aspect is essential originate from the excavations, the field and useful for the interpretation of the today researches, the historical-archaeological and world: it helps us to understand why we artistic studies. Therefore, the 3D should preserve our archaeological and reconstructions offer the highest degree of architectonical heritage , beyond its fidelity to the original building or site, monumentality and although pertinent to reproducing the surrounding natural cultures, as for instance the Roman one, that landscape and the archaeological are usually considered extraneous to the environment with the external structures, the identitarian inheritance.

New gravity and magnetic stations, distributed over the northern part of the area (Campidano of Oristano), have been measured lO complement already published data for tbe central-southern part of the graben. Deep dipole- dipole geoelectrical soundings have also been performed along two profiles perpendicular lO the strike of the graben. The geological interpretation of the geophysical data allows us to conclude that no shallow. exploitable geothermal reservoir exists in the survey area.

  • Attitudes Towards the Safeguarding of Minority Languages and Dialects in Modern Italy
    ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE SAFEGUARDING OF MINORITY LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS IN MODERN ITALY: The Cases of Sardinia and Sicily Maria Chiara La Sala Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Department of Italian September 2004 This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to assess attitudes of speakers towards their local or regional variety. Research in the field of sociolinguistics has shown that factors such as gender, age, place of residence, and social status affect linguistic behaviour and perception of local and regional varieties. This thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part the concept of language, minority language, and dialect is discussed; in the second part the official position towards local or regional varieties in Europe and in Italy is considered; in the third part attitudes of speakers towards actions aimed at safeguarding their local or regional varieties are analyzed. The conclusion offers a comparison of the results of the surveys and a discussion on how things may develop in the future. This thesis is carried out within the framework of the discipline of sociolinguistics. ii DEDICATION Ai miei figli Youcef e Amil che mi hanno distolto

  • Genetic History from the Middle Neolithic to Present on the Mediterranean Island of Sardinia
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-14523-6 OPEN Genetic history from the Middle Neolithic to present on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia Joseph H. Marcus et al.# The island of Sardinia has been of particular interest to geneticists for decades. The current model for Sardinia’s genetic history describes the island as harboring a founder population that was established largely from the Neolithic peoples of southern Europe and remained 1234567890():,; isolated from later Bronze Age expansions on the mainland. To evaluate this model, we generate genome-wide ancient DNA data for 70 individuals from 21 Sardinian archaeological sites spanning the Middle Neolithic through the Medieval period. The earliest individuals show a strong affinity to western Mediterranean Neolithic populations, followed by an extended period of genetic continuity on the island through the Nuragic period (second millennium BCE). Beginning with individuals from Phoenician/Punic sites (first millennium BCE), we observe spatially-varying signals of admixture with sources principally from the eastern and northern Mediterranean. Overall, our analysis sheds light on the genetic history of Sardinia, revealing how relationships to mainland populations shifted over time. *A full list of authors and their affiliations appears at the end of the paper.

Carlson Steven Oberhelman Head of Department, Donny L. Hamilton December 2009 Major Subject: Anthropology iii ABSTRACT Foreign Influences and Consequences on the Nuragic Culture of Sardinia. (December 2009) Margaret Choltco, B.A., The Pennsylvania State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shelley Wachsmann Although it is accepted that Phoenician colonization occurred on Sardinia by the 9th century B.C., it is possible that contact between Sardinia‟s indigenous population and the Levantine region occurred in the Late Bronze Age (LBA). Eastern LBA goods found on the island are copper oxhide ingots and Aegean pottery. Previously, it has been suggested that Mycenaeans were responsible for bringing the eastern goods to Sardinia, but the presence of Aegean pottery shards does not confirm the presence of Mycenaean tradesmen. Also, scholars of LBA trade have explained the paucity of evidence for a Mycenaean merchant fleet. Interpretations of two LBA shipwrecks, Cape Gelidonya and Uluburun, indicate that eastern Mediterranean merchants of Cypriot or Syro-Canaanite origin, transported large quantities of oxhide ingots from the Levant towards the west.

  • Prog. Storia Arte Cultura.Qxd
    La Sardegna è frequentata dall’uomo fin dal Paleolitico inferiore, anche se solamente dal Neolitico Antico (6000 a.C.) si iniziarono a stabilire i primi nuclei sociali che daranno poi vita ad una delle civiltà tra le più affascinanti dell’intero bacino del Mediterraneo. Sul territorio della Provincia del Medio Campidano sono numerose le testimonianze di primitive costruzioni risalenti al 3000 avanti Cristo. Veri e propri scorci suggestivi sulla vita quotidiana di quel tempo sono i menhir di Cort’e’ Semmuccu e Genna Prunas e in tempi successivi, le “domus de janas” (grotte scavate nella roccia dove venivano seppolti i defunti). É nell’età del Bronzo Antico (1800-1600 a.C.) che si inizia a diffondere in Sardegna quella che diventerà la misteriosa ed interessante civiltà nuragica. A tale periodo risalgono i protonuraghi di Bruncu Màdugui e Sa Corona, imponenti costruzioni di blocchi calcarei a secco, privi di cupola, realizzati in posizione dominante il territorio. Nel Bronzo Medio (1600-1300 a.C.) ai primi nuraghi monotorre (Su Nuraxi-Ortu Cumidu) si affiancano ipogei megalitici: tombe dei giganti (Sa Gutta de Santu Giuanni, Su Cuaddu de Nixias,e Sa Domu ‘e s’ Orku). L’ultima fase dell’Età del Bronzo (1300-900 a.C.) vede affermarsi la massima espressione dell’architettura megalitica in Sardegna; da semplici edifici monotorre, i nuraghi (Su Nuraxi, Nuraxi ‘e Cresia, Su Mulinu, Genna Maria) diventano strutture sempre più imponenti, assumendo per diversi secoli il ruolo di centro attorno al quale si svolgeva la vita delle comunità locali. Nonostante diverse e articolate siano le teorie sul loro effettivo utilizzo (torri d’avvistamento, fortezze, dimore dei capi tribù, luoghi di culto, …), a tutt’oggi nessuna di tali ipotesi prevale sulle altre.Tale incertezza fa di queste monumentali opere dell’uomo nuragico dei veri e propri scrigni, che conserveranno ancora per chissà quanto tempo i loro millenari segreti.
