STONE in the CITY. EXTRACTION SITES and SPOLIATION of STONE MATERIAL in the CITY of NORA (South -West Sardinia)
: 978-88-942329-3-6ISBN: 978-88-942329-3-6 Proceedings of the 21st IPSAPA/ISPALEM International Scientific Conference Venezia (Italy) July 6th - 7th, 2017 STONE IN THE CITY. EXTRACTION SITES AND SPOLIATION OF STONE MATERIAL IN THE CITY OF NORA (South -West Sardinia) Ginevra Balletto1 Stefano Naitza2 Giulia Desogus3 1 Researcher DICAAR, University of Cagliari, Italy 2 Researcher DSCG, University of Cagliari, Italy 3 PhD Student DICAAR, University of Cagliari, Italy Abstract. The paper intends to focus to the historical extraction sites and to the movement of construction materials, without neglecting the spoliation of monuments, to identify the plots between geology and urban structure (Bonetto, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to create a different point of view in order to get a comprehensive picture of the urban form and characteristics, and also to define the social, cultural and economic context. Then, a replicable case study is presented (the archaeological city of Nora in Sardinia, Italy), with the aim of identifying main urban processes that take into account the ancient supply and circulation of building materials essential for the urban formation. Finally, study’s findings are discussed. The paper concludes by to investigate the correlations between urban building and the stone materials, whose extraction was proximal, and whose masterful use has allowed the construction of the city of Nora. Keywords: construction materials, archaeological city, Nora (Sardinia), cultural tourism, paths itinerary 1. Introduction: the territory of Nora The archaeological site of Nora (Figure 1) plays a multiplicity of significances, being the crossroad among the vestiges of several ancient Mediterranean civilizations, the beautiful natural environment of a lagoon, the home of an environmental education center and a refuge for cetaceans and sea turtles, and the place of a major center of popular religious belief in the Cagliari area, the church of S. -

The Epigraphy of the Tophet
ISSN 2239-5393 The Epigraphy of the Tophet Maria Giulia Amadasi Guzzo – José Ángel Zamora López (Sapienza Università di Roma – CSIC, Madrid) Abstract The present contribution reassesses the main aspects of the epigraphic sources found in the so-called tophet in order to demonstrate how they are significant and how they undermine the funerary interpretations of these precincts. The inscriptions decisively define the tophet as a place of worship, a sanctuary where sacrifices were made to specific deities in specific rites. The epigraphic evidence combined with literary and archaeological data show how these sacrifices consisted of infants and small animals (either as substitutes or interred together), sometimes commemorated by the inscriptions themselves. Keywords History of Religions, Child Sacrifice, Northwest Semitic Epigraphy, Mediterranean History, Phoenician & Punic World. 1. Introduction Our basic knowledge of the special type of Phoenician and Punic sanctuaries called tophet (a conventional term taken from the Hebrew Bible) seems to be based on wide variety of sources that can be combined to provide an overall interpretation. In fact, archaeological research now provides us with relatively substantial knowledge of the geographical and chronological distribution of these sacred sites and of their structure. Present in some central Mediterranean Phoenician settlements (including on Sardinia) from their foundation, or shortly after, they persist and multiply in North Africa at a later period, generally after the destruction of Carthage1. Archaeology, also, enables us to formulate a “material” definition of these places: they are always– essentially – open-air sites constantly located on the margins of towns, where pottery containers are buried in which the burnt remains of babies and/or baby Received: 11.09.2013. -

Gordo Is Patrick Mata's Affectionate Way of Calling His Father, Jose Mata
Gordo Gordo is Patrick Mata's affectionate way of calling his father, Jose Mata. For almost four generations, Patrick's family produced wine in Malaga, Montilla, Sanlucar, Rioja and other Spanish regions. These wines were sold in many countries, including the US, before and after prohibition. During the 60s, the demand of Malaga wines suffered greatly, which ultimately resulted in the Mata winery closing its doors in 1972. The wine Gordo pays tribute to the Mata winemaking heritage and, specifically, to Patrick's father. The Gordo label is a replica of one of the family labels from the late 1800s. Today, after a few decades, Patrick and Alberto through Vinos Atlantico are resurrecting their family heritage and producing wines in many regions throughout the Iberian Peninsula, including this rich yet elegant blend of Monastrell and Cabernet from the southeast of Spain. WHAT MAKES THIS WINE UNIQUE?: A personal wine that pays tribute to Patrick's father. Produced from dry farmed vineyards. Vines are tended in chalk soil at 713 m (2,339 ft) elevation. This type of soil and the elevation result in wines that exhibit greater freshness with lifted flavors. RATING HISTORY: 2015 91VM, 91JS, 90WA; 2014 92 JS GRAPE: 70% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Vines planted since 1970. Tended in chalk and limestone soil at 713 m (2,339 ft) elevation. PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Try Gordo with blue cheese, stews, spicy chili and similar hearty dishes. This wine has the heft on the palate and spice to pair well with BBQ with serious heat, pulled pork sliders and “five alarm” BBQ chicken wings. -
Domaine Porto Carras: a Greek Experience with Old World Vines
LEISURE / FOOD & DRINK / DRINKS Domaine Porto Carras: A Greek experience with old world vines March 18, 2014 5:26 PM MST View all 7 photos Enjoying the wines of Domaine Porto Carras and the cuisine from Ulysses Voyage. Any Olsen Opportunities come in many forms and when you are a wine lover it could be experiencing wines from a new region. In my case, the door opened for me to discover Greek wines. The wines were those of Domaine Porto Carras. In Greece there are 330 varietals of which only seventy- eight are imported. Many of these varietals are native to Greece. Most the wine in Greece is produced in the northern portion of the country. There are twenty different wine regions and the location of Domaine Porto Carras is an appellation onto its own as encompasses the Sithonia Peninsula. This peninsula is one of three that make up the Halkidiki Peninsula, which runs from the city of Thessaloniki south to the Aegean Sea and is shaped like a hand with three fingers. Sithonia is the middle finger. Situated along the coast of Sithonia, the winery sits atop a Cori Solomon hill on the slopes of Mount Meliton and affords magnificent views of the Greek coastline. There are 1100 acres of terraced vineyards, which make it ideal to grow Bordeaux varietals in addition to the Greek ones. The winery is planted with twenty-seven varietals of which thirteen are French and the other fourteen are those native to Greece. The grapes used for the Domanine Porto Carras wines are organically grown and utilize dry farm irrigation.
