Statistical analysis of engraving traces on a 3D digital model of prehistoric stone stelae
2016
International audience; Studying cultural heritage artefacts, using 3D digital models, is gaining interest. It not only allows applications in documentation and visualisation, but also permits further contact-less examination. In this paper, we are presenting a statistical analysis of stone engravings based on features that were semi-automatically extracted from 3D acquisition data. Our objects of study are two Neolithic stone stelae and a faithful replica that was created in the course of an archaeological study. We use common statistical methods and investigate the populations of depth and diameter of the engraving traces, as well as their correlation. We observe that the erosion of the t…
The Protohistoric sword from Le Gué-de-Velluire (Vendée, France): a pasticcio's history unveiled by archaeometrical research
2020
International audience; The Gué-de-Velluire sword (Vendée, France) is part of the Rochebrune collection collected during the 19 th and the 20 th centuries and now preserved in the Dobrée Museum in Nantes (Loire-Atlantique, France). The unusual shape of its hilt, its uncorroded rivets and the rather uncommon combination of a bronze grip with an iron blade made this sword an exceptional object. It has been depicted in a large number of papers since the 20 th century, but the question of its authenticity has hardly ever been tackled. New analyses performed with the support of the Dobrée Museum, the Arc'Antique laboratory and Ghent University delivered new data enabling us to discuss this delic…
Fornaci e produzioni del Golfo di Castellamare (Sicilia nord-occidentale)
2020
L’area del Golfo di Castellammare (Sicilia occidentale) è nota per le numerose fornaci di età romana. In questo articolo, si cercherà di ricostruire l’attività di un’officina destinata principalmente alla produzione di laterizi con bollo ΟΝΑΣΟΥ, databile fra III e I secolo a.C. Ricerche precedenti hanno permesso di riconoscere nel produttore di questi laterizi lo stesso Onasus Segestanus citato nelle Verrine di Cicerone e di localizzarne una possibile officina presso la Baia di San Cataldo. La scoperta di nuovi laterizi bollati e di scarti ceramici assume notevole importanza per una ricerca sugli ateliers ceramici del Golfo di Castellammare e della Piana di Partinico. Ne deriva un quadro ag…
Le “brigand lusitanien” reconsidéré. Analyse du problème de la terre chez Appien
2015
The study of the “Lusitanian robbery” led to an important research since the late nineteenth century.Nevertheless, and despite a gradual shift in modern historiography towards a more nuanced approachto the origin of the phenomenon, the problem of land still remains a central concern of many historiansand archaeologists. From a close discussion of the main passages of Livy, Diodorus and Appian especiallyrelating to the relationship that some have sought to establish between lack and / or poverty ofthe land and development of robbery among the Lusitanians, it gives a review of the socio-economicinterpretation.
Lead provenance for medieval decorated tile glazes from Brittany and Anjou (13th-14th c.)
2021
International audience; Medieval pavements composed of lead-glazed tiles decorated with a variety of techniques continue to inspire questions about the organisation of glaze manufacture, and the supply and origin of lead materials. The tiles analysed in this study are from Suscinio I (a 13th-century pavement) and Suscinio II (a 14th-century pavement), at the Château of Suscinio in Brittany, and also from the 14th-century pavement at the fortified manor house in Brain-sur-Allonnes, Anjou. Lead isotope analysis (LIA) was used to examine samples from 44 lead-glazed tiles, 29 of which are transparent, while 15 are tin-opacified (an exogenous technique in these regions during this period). Five …
La emisión númida de siga (ss. II-I A.C.) con jinete lanceando
2018
International audience; Se presenta el estudio de una nueva serie monetal númida constituida a base de dos monedas, únicas conocidas y acuñadas ambas en Siga. El anverso de esta emisión adopta una influencia de indudable sabor masesilo, amén del rostro norteafricano y la barba espesa y puntiaguda. El reverso es asimismo, muy significativo, incluso como fuente primaria histórica, al materializar las palabras de Tito Livio (35, 11, 7), quien describió a los jinetes númidas como medio desnudos, sin llevar más armas que sus jabalinas. A pesar de esto, la imagen de nuestro jinete presenta muchos más detalles, pues monta a pelo, lleva casco, pantalones sueltos y quizás también un pectoral.
Les objets en plomb découverts sur le site portuaire médiéval de Taillebourg - Port d'Envaux : typologie, fonction et origine

La question du sacrifice animal dans les rites funéraires en Gaule belgique
1998
L'etude des necopoles du l'Age du Fer du nord de la Gaule a revele la pratique courante de l'implication de l'animal dans les rites funeraires humains. Cet usage a deja ete analyse dans plusieurs syntheses, mais l'auteur s'interroge en particulier, dans cet article, sur les modalites de choix et d'acquisition des quartiers de viande dedies au rite et donc des modalites du sacrifice animal et propose d'etudier les indices receuillis a ce sujet dans des necropoles lateniennes du nord de la France, recemment fouillees
Die jungbronzezeitliche Außensiedlung der „Hünenburg“ bei Watenstedt, Lkr. Helmstedt. Vorbericht über die Ausgrabungen 2005–2007
2010
Le Harz septentrional, le contrefort le plus au nord des massifs hercyniens europeens, compte plusieurs habitats de hauteur fortifies sur le territoire du groupe de Saalemundung. Ces dernieres annees, on a pu intensifier les recherches archeologiques menees autour du site fortifie de hauteur l'Hunenburg, situe au nord-ouest pres de Watenstedt (Lkr. Helmstedt). Les ramassages de surface juste au sud de l'enceinte du site, les prospections geomagnetiques, ainsi que les premieres fouilles qui suivirent, deboucherent sur la decouverte d'une agglomeration exterieure contemporaine, qui couvre jusqu'ici 5,5 ha et dont les limites restent a decouvrir. Les fouilles ont revele les premiers plans de m…
