This paper examines the national and international growth of prehistoric archaeology in Italy from 1875 to 2000. A bibliometric approach is proposed for a case study of a scientific discipline, language and period that are poorly represented in current bibliographic databases. These constraints led to the generation of a data set with articles from 5 journals (2842 articles and 1221 unique authors). Publication language and author nationalities were manually included in the data set. Journal internationality measures and co-authorship network analyses showed: 1) that internationalisation was not the most striking change over the study period: it was one of a number of features that journal editors addressed in their own way; 2) results confirm a change in the social organisation of scientific production in archaeology, with the emergence of co-authorship and reflect the differentiation of local research trends. This is discussed with reference to previous work on the history of prehistoric archaeology.... view less

Une analyse bibliométrique des aspects nationaux et internationaux du développement de l’archéologie préhistorique en Italie de 1875 à 2000 est proposée, soit une discipline, une langue et une période peu couvertes dans les bases bibliographiques usuelles. Cela a conduit à créer un jeu de donnée ad hoc intégrant cinq revues (2842 articles, 1221 auteurs uniques). Les langues de publication et la nationalité des auteurs ont été pris en compte. Mesurer l’internationalité des revues et analyser le réseau de co-auteurs montre : 1) que l’internationalisation ne fut pas le fait le plus marquant de cette période, constituant une ressource – parmi d’autres – diversement employée par les éditeurs ; 2) une transformation dans l’organisation sociale de la production (co-autorat) et la différenciation d’orientations locales de recherche, confortant ainsi des études antérieures sur l’histoire de l’archéologie préhistorique.... view less
