Archaeologist, I work in Liguria where I live with my family.
In my studies, I spent most of my energies with the Late Antique and Early Medieval/Byzantine period on the northern side of the Mediterranean, focusing on pottery usage patterns.
I'm also involved in open source and open knowledge initiatives.

Today I deactivated the @stekosteko account at Twitter. It had been inactive for four years, but deleting it right now is a good thing to do. I have an archive of all my tweets, someday I will publish it but I doubt there is anything that important in it. I was very active on Twitter… Continua a leggere @stekosteko

Using Harris Matrix Data Package with the stratigraphr package

I am working on the Harris Matrix Data Package specification with the aim of decoupling it from my own “hmdp” tool.

San Terenziano

A Marzano si festeggia San Terenziano (San Ransiàn) il 1° settembre o la prima domenica di settembre, anche se la chiesa di Marzano è dedicata a San Bartolomeo (che si festeggia una settimana prima, il 24 agosto). Premesso che è comunque una generica “festa di fine estate”, è interessante notare che entrambi i santi sono… Continua a leggere San Terenziano
