A pesar de conocerse desde hace más de 120 años, las estelas del oeste peninsular siguen generando debate y no existe consenso sobre su finalidad. Por esta razón, su estudio y análisis continúan en auge dentro de los estudios protohistóricos.
Un breve repaso a los últimos trabajos en este campo nos muestra las cinco grandes líneas, además del tradicional estudio iconográfico, en las que se trabaja en la actualidad: la prospección arqueológica, el uso cada vez más habitual del SIG, la fotografía y la creación de modelos digitales, la realización de estudios petrológicos y el estudio de las técnicas de grabado y el instrumental empleado para tallar las estelas.
16 residents in a Residential Care Home for elderly people volunteered and were trained in a social skills program aimed at increasing conversational skills. Subjects were assigned randomly to three groups, one experimental and two control groups (placebo and waiting list). The techniques used in the experimental group were behavior rehearsal, feedback, modeling, discriminative reinforcement, verbal instructions, and homework. Relative to control groups, experimental subjects showed significant increases in conversational skills, such as receiving information, speaking-up, and giving information. They also showed a significant decrease in their scores on Zung's Self-rating Scale of Depression compared with the two control groups. They showed an increase in assertive responses and a decrease in aggressive and inhibited responses. These changes remained when follow-up was made 3 mo. later, suggesting the potential utility of this training program with elderly persons residing in old people's homes.
ResumenEste trabajo pretende demostrar la utilidad de las nuevas tecnologías de Información Geográfica (TIC) aplicadas a las prospecciones extensivas en Arqueología. Sobre un caso concreto, el llamado castro de Irueña, los autores han realizado un estudio de campo combinando las prospecciones sobre el terreno con la aplicación de tecnologías LiDAR y SIG, para ofrecer una planta topográfica totalmente novedosa que permite, junto a algunos posibles hallazgos externos, interpretar mejor los restos arqueológicos conocidos previamente.Palabras clave: TIC; LiDAR; SIG; Vettones; Irueña.
AbstractIn this paper, the authors try to defend the utilities that they have obteined from new geographical information technologies to the Archaeological surveys. They have applied LiDAR system and GIS software, besides a ground survey, over a study case, the so-called "castro de Irueña" (Salamanca, Spain) and they managed a new mapping of the site, with new inside and outside findings that allow to explain much better archaeological remains from older excavations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
