Projet d’Action Scientifique. Archéologie de l’habitat du haut Moyen Âge en Champagne-Ardenne, tapuscrit préliminaire remis à la DST de l’Inrap
2014
rapport d'un projet collectif régional (PAS Inrap) sur l'habitat rural du haut Moyen Age en Champagne Ardenne, coordonné par Marie-Cécile Truc et Arnaud Rémy, avec une trentaine de collaborateurs.Ce projet a pour finalité l’étude de l’habitat rural civil du haut Moyen Âge en Champagne-Ardenne (fin Ve-XIIe siècles) à partir des données de l’archéologie et, plus particulièrement, des fouilles préventives. Une équipe pluridisciplinaire constituée d’une vingtaine d’archéologues et de spécialistes, la plupart issus de l’Inrap, s’est fédérée autour de ce projet. Notre étude répond à un double objectif : d’une part publier des sites fouillés dans le cadre de l’archéologie préventive ces trente der…

Historical model of settling and spread of Bell Beakers Culture in the mediterranean France

Die Glockenbecherkultur im mediterranen Südfrankreich : ein historisches InterpretationsmodellIm Folgenden werden einige Teilergebnisse aus einer Dissertation vorgestellt, die im März 2002 an der Universität Aix-en-Provence vorgelegt wurde (Lemercier 2002). In dieser Arbeit wurden sämtliche Glockenbecher-Elemente (1200 verzierte Gefässe bzw. Gefässfragmente) aus über 300 südostfranzösischen Fundstellen mit annähernd berücksichtigt. Diese Untersuchung bestätigt das Vorhandensein von vier Stilgruppen und die Gültigkeit der von J. Guilaine auf der Basis der verzierten Keramik vorgeschlagenen Chronologie weitgehend. Die Analyse dieser Gruppen, ihrer Fundumstände und ihrer Verbreitung führt uns …
Modélisation des objets historiques selon la fonction, l'espace et le temps pour l'étude des dynamiques urbaines dans la longue durée
2010
The proposed principle for understanding the urban fabric is based on considering the town as a set of complex objects, taking a systemic approach. The town system used to study the urban fabric over large time spans is composed of three sub-systems relating to historical objects from the level of the excavation to that of the former urban space: function (social use), space (location, surface area and morphology) and time (dating, duration and chronology). The historical object is the analytical unit of the space studied. The purposed model allows urban changes to be observed. The originality of this procedure lies in its approach whereby it is possible to start not from the mapping of a p…
Looking for ancient wine as gift for the Prince of Lavau (5th c. BC)
2017
International audience; The excavations at Lavau brought to light a large monumental necropolis with a central burial mound overlying an undisturbed chieftain’s grave from the end of the Early Iron Age or the beginning of the Late Iron Age. In the funerary chamber rich grave furniture accompanied the dead: a bronze cauldron containing serving and drinking vessels of ceramic, silver, and bronze, two bronze plates, and a cist. As there were visible deposits present on the inner surface of the cauldron, a series of samples were taken from different parts of the cauldron and the locally made oenochoe. Using a double-step methodology of extraction and structural analysis by GC-MS, the main bioma…

An anthracological approach to understanding Late Classic period cultural collapse in Mesoamerica’s northwestern frontier
2012
International audience; For over 50 years, researchers have suggested that increased regional rainfall over the highland deserts of Mesoamerica's northwestern frontier zone during the Classic period (AD 200-900) allowed for the colonization of the zone by farming groups who originated from Central and/or West Mexico. A severe and prolonged drought is hypothesized to have later provoked the abandonment of the region by these sedentary populations by AD 900. However, very little research has been carried out in the zone to detect evidence of this proposed climate change. I present results from the first systematic study of wood charcoal from the northwestern frontier, comparing the data from …
Vineyard soil mapping from very high spatial resolution images in hillslope context: a contribution of terroir knowledge.
2014
The Burgundian vineyard hillslopes (Côte-d’Or, France) exhibit a high diversity of soils resulting from the combination of several natural and anthropogenic factors acting at various spatio-temporal scales. The soil types have major role in viticulture, since they partly determine wine-growing quality. However, soil undergoes important degradation caused by hydric erosion and vineyard management practices. To control this soil heritage for a sustained viticulture in Côte-d’Or, a better knowledge of soil is necessary. The objectives of this work is to characterise vineyard soils and to identify the factors governing their diversity using an interdisciplinary approach crossing geology, geomor…
: Quantification of the morphological evolution of the Hominid skull and heterochronies
1998
Comparisons of adult skulls of various species of great apes, fossil hominids and modem humans in the sagittal, Francfort and ortho-sagittal planes reveal a series of three separate organisation plans: 'GreatApe', 'Australopithecine'and 'Homo', tbe latter including primitive men (Homo ergaster-erectus-neandertalensis) and modern humans (Homo sapiens). Morphological changes between these plans are quantified for the first time here by vector fields. This study confirms the existence of cranio-facial contraction, which occurs as a series of leaps. The juvenile morphology of the great ape skull is broadly preserved in adult Homo sapiens, suggesting that numerous heterochronies have occurred in…
