The Po River Basin: Managing a Complex System Lessons from the Past, Recommendations for the Future Flavia Manieri The Po River Basin: Managing a Complex System Lessons from the Past, Recommendations for the Future Master’s thesis in Global Environmental History Abstract Manieri, F. 2016. The Po River Basin: Managing a Complex System. Lessons from the Past, Recommendations for the Future. Uppsala, Dep. of Archaeology and Ancient History. This thesis aims to explore how to use historical knowledge in the formulation of policy rec- ommendations for addressing contemporary environmental issues. Using the case study of the Po River Basin in northern Italy, I address one of the main weaknesses of the water re- sources management sector in Italy today: the complicated governance structure. I argue that roles and responsibilities often overlap and are not clearly defined among different levels of governance and a multiplicity of institutional actors; these being factors that contribute to make Italy’s water resources vulnerable and the country’s water availability uncertain. Im- porting Latour’s theoretical framework of hybridity into my work, I talk about water man- agement problems and challenges in Italy as a result of the modern understanding by which nature and society are held as being separate entities. Italy is more of a follower than a lead- er in coping with environmental issues, and it appears that the environment has a very low priority in Italian political culture. Insights on the evolution of policy, legal and institutional frameworks for water management are presented, together with analysis and recommenda- tions on how to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of water management in Italy.

  • Sediments and Pollution in the Northern Adriatic Seaa
    Sediments and Pollution in the Northern Adriatic Seaa F. FRASCARI, M. FRIGNANI, S. GUERZONI, AND M. RAVAIOLI Zstituto di Geologia Marina Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche 40127 Bologna, Italy INTRODUCTION Most pollutants are known to have a strong tendency to interact with sus- pended organic and inorganic matter. Under certain conditions, the sediments may form deposits, where the sub- stances are stored and/or mineralized and removed from the external environ- ment. Various phenomena may, however, promote a pollutant release from the sediment towards the overlying waters. Molecular diffusion, bioturbation, resus- pension of bottom sediment and pumping due to low-intensity wave motion are phenomena that cause the transport of chemical species through the water-sedi- ment interface. The constituents that are mostly involved in these fluxes are the ones dissolved in the interstitial waters and those weakly linked to the solid. The fine mineral or flocculated sediments, which rapidly settle in the riverine prodelta,24 are the richest ones in easily exchangeable pollutants. On the other hand, the solid matter which sediments after a long transport attains a more stable equilibrium with the pollutants which are dissolved in the waters. The study of the sedimentation and transport processes of the particulate matter and associated pollutants is of great importance to understand the evolu- tion of the marine environmental quality. THE ADRIATIC SEA: GENERALITIES Problems of the open and coastal water pollution of the Adriatic Sea have been the concern of scientists and administrators for some time. Many national research programs, both related to the whole basin or with a more local concern, were called to study the Adriatic Sea, among which the applied program called “P.F.

  • 483 Radiocarbon Dating Of
    RADIOCARBON DATING OF THE EARLY BRONZE AGE CEMETERY AT ARANO, VERONA, NORTHERN ITALY Erio Valzolgher1 • John Meadows2 • Paola Salzani3 • Luciano Salzani4 ABSTRACT. Seventeen of the 73 individuals buried in the Early Bronze Age (EBA) cemetery at Arano di Cellore di Illasi, near Verona, northern Italy, were radiocarbon dated by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). Bayesian modeling of the cal- ibrated dates suggests that the cemetery was probably used over several generations mainly within the first 2 centuries of the 2nd millennium cal BC. Burial activity was therefore mainly restricted to within the EBA I B/EBA I C of the north Italian Bronze Age chronology. An isolated burial, found ~90 m northwest of the cemetery, may date to the same period. INTRODUCTION Arano di Cellore di Illasi (henceforth referred to as Arano) is located on the floor of the lower Illasi Valley, at the foot of the Lessini Mountains, ~15 km northeast of Verona, northern Italy (45293N, 11114E; ~210 m asl; see Figure 1). Excavations undertaken at Arano in advance of development works between March and October 2007 by the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici del Veneto, under the direction of Luciano Salzani, revealed the largest Early Bronze Age (henceforth EBA) flat inhumation cemetery known from northern Italy to date, and an earlier ceremonial structure; that is, a triangular level stone platform dating to the Copper Age (see Salzani and Salzani 2008).

Nile Valley-Levant interactions: an eclectic review Ofer Bar-Yosef Department of Anthropology, Harvard University Opening remarks Writing a review of a prehistoric province as an outsider is not a simple task. The archaeological process, as we know today, is an integration of data sets – the information from the field and the laboratory analyses, and the interpretation that depends on the paradigm held by the writer affected by his or her personal experience. Even monitoring the contents of most of the published and online literature is a daunting task. It is particularly true for looking at the Egyptian Neolithic during the transition from foraging to farming and herding, when most of the difficulties originate from the poorly known bridging regions. A special hurdle is the terminological conundrum of the Neolithic, as Andrew Smith and Alison Smith discusses in this volume, and in particular the term “Neolithisation” that finally made its way to the Levantine literature.

Abstract Recent developments in Remote Sensing (RS) technologies lead the way in characterizing river morphology at regional scales and inferring potential channel responses to human pressures. In this paper, a unique regional database of continuous hydromorphological variables (HyMo DB) based on areal and topographic data has been generated from RS analysis. Key riverscape units with specific geomorphic meaning have been automatically mapped for 1700 km2 of river floodplains from simultaneous very-high-resolution (VHR) near-infrared aerial imagery and low-resolution LiDAR-derived products.

The plant has roundish, closely interlaced leaves forming a characteristic spherical head. The leaves are red to deep red in colour with white central veins. The distinctive characteristics of the two types are: — ‘early’: closed head, weighing between 200 and 600 grams, with characteristic scarlet to amaranth-coloured, crispy leaves, with a sweet to slightly bitter taste, — ‘late’: very compact head, weighing between 200 and 600 grams, with deep amaranth-coloured, fairly crispy leaves, with a bitter taste.
