Dynamiques géomorphologiques et typologie géoarcheologique des ports antiques en contextes lagunaires
2015
En domaine littoral, dans un contexte de stabilisation plurimillenaire de la montee du niveau de la mer, une question qui se pose est celle de l’impact des conditions environnementales sur les choix d’implantation des communautes humaines qui s’installent autour des lagunes. L’historiographie a developpe des modeles plus ou moins deterministes mais survivent-ils a la confrontation avec les donnees environnementales recemment acquises? Quels ont ete les effets de ces occupations sur l’evolution du littoral et reciproquement, comment les societes anciennes ont utilise, contourne, surmonte ou pas les potentialites et contraintes environnementales specifiques liees a l’occupation des milieux la…
Late Holocene erosion of the Canopic promontory (Nile Delta, Egypt)
2017
International audience; The mouths of the Nile Delta are sensitive coastal areas, their geomorphology primarily being mediated by relative sea-level rise and sediment supply. To further document the Holocene evolution of the Nile's Canopic mouth, a core was taken from the southern shores of Abu Qir Bay, close to the ancient Canopic channel. Core bio-sedimentology and chronostratigraphy highlight four stages of marine incursion which are juxtaposed upon the general progradation trend of the Nile coast in this area. Compiled age-depth points from sediment cores taken in Abu Qir Bay underscore two phases of negative sediment budget at the Canopic mouth: (1) a first period, between 3.5 and 2 ka…
