Mística e Paidéia : O Pseudo-Dionísio Areopagita

O autor que se apresenta como Dionísio Areopagita, o ateniense convertido por São Paulo no Areópago (Atos XVII, 16-34) foi provavelmente um monge sírio que escreveu no fim do século V. Este artigo, ao discutir as tentativas contemporâneos de descobrir sua identidade e a influência que exerceu sobre o pensamento posterior, interpreta sua obra como uma tentativa de assimilação da filosofia e paidéia grega pelo cristianismo, representando um momento importante do processo simbolizado pela viagem de São Paulo à Atenas.The author who presents himself as Dionysius the Areopagite, the converted by Saint Paul on the Areopagus was probably a syrian monk who wrote in the late V century. This article, dicussing the contemporany attempts to find his identity and the influence on the posterior thought, interprets his writings as an attempt to assimilate the greek philosophy and paideia by christianity, representing an important moment in the process symbolized by the Saint Paul's journey to Athens

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
