Une fortification inédite de la résidence princière de Vix
2014
Within the framework of a palaeoenvironmental study of the princely site of Vix, a trench was excavated at the foot of the eastern slope of the mont Lassois. This trench allowed to unearth a new fortification of the Hallstattian defensive system. The geophysical surveys showed that a segment of the eastern slope is lined with this new fortification. The second significant discovery was the presence of a new settlement in this area of the hill. Some data point out a possi-ble craft production area dated in the Hallstatt D2/D3. This data set noticeably modifies our view of the spatial organi-sation of the princely site of Vix

Magnetic Prospecting of Diachronic Structures (Antiquity to First World War) on the Site of the Sanctuary of Ribemont-sur-Ancre (Somme, France)
2001
International audience; The site of the sanctuary of Ribemont-sur-Ancre (Somme, France) is of major scientific interest for the knowledge of the Celtic civilization in Europe. It also presents other peculiarities: two clearly identifiable periods of occupation-the first one as early as third century BC-to the second century AD and the second one from 1914-1918. In the area disrupted through military operations, the remains of several epochs are intermingled. In order to obtain a precise knowledge of the space time organisation of each occupation, a magnetic survey was carried out. The comparison of geophysical results with the aerial photographs shot during the war allows an exact determina…
La méthode stratigraphique appliquée à l'étude de la sculpture médiévale. La fiche d'unité stratigraphique pour la documentation de la polychromie du…
2011
Lors d'un dégagement de couches picturales d'une sculpture en bois polychrome, nous nous trouvons dans une situation semblable à celle d'une fouille archéologique. Si nous n'avons pas prévu à l'avance un relevé systématique des informations contenues dans les strates que nous supprimons, nous perdrons un grand nombre de données. La restauration, au lieu d'être " le moment privilégié de connaissance de l'œuvre d'art " (Cesare Brandi), peut se transformer en un moment crucial d'effacement des données historiques...
Ancient architecture in Provence between the Iron Age and the Imperial era: the pillars of the Château-Bas site in Vernègues
2013
The site of Château-Bas (Vernègues, Bouches-du-Rhône), famous above all for its Augustan Roman temple, has yielded a set of pillars decorated either with writhing snakes or with straight rods. As yet there are no known parallels to such pillars. The discovery of a fragment of a pillar reused in a 1st c. AD structure demonstrates that these carvings are ancient. The architectural study of the fragments and comparison with other sculptural elements from southern Gaul suggest they date approximately to the turn of the millenium. The originality of these pieces should perhaps be sought in the copying and adaptation of Italic architectural features (Attic base, Tuscan capital) to a particular fo…
L’habitat du Néolithique final de Quinssaines, Le Bournadiau : approche spatiale et fonctionnelle d'un site au Nord-Ouest de l'Allier.
2011
A late Neolithic settlement was explored during excavations in the northeast of the Allier département, at Bournadiau near Quinsaines, in 2007. Despite erosion, the excavation revealed a ditch and traces of two buildings. The ceramic assemblage and the stone tool industry, partly imported from Grand Pressigny, illustrate the contacts between the inhabitants and the cultural groups from Western-Central (Artenac) and Northern France (Gord). An unusual deposit of seventeen Grand Pressigny flint objects, discovered in the foundations of a small building, provides information about the redistribution process of such products and shows that the site probably functioned in collaboration with the G…
Caractérisation des céramiques à bioclastes de la Protohistoire dans l’ouest de la France.
2015
The study of the ceramics from the site of the Batterie Basse in the region of Manche, shows again that the presence of bioclasts in the clays of protohistoric ceramics is a very common phenomenon in Normandy unlike in Brittany, where in the current state of knowledge only one individual from the Iron Age has been described. These bioclasts, mostly fragments of bivalves, are non-plastic elements naturally present in the clays, either in the form of fossils, either in the form of contemporary shells, or are incorporated by the craftsmans after being pounded to modify the technical characteristics of the clays. The aim of this work is to awareness the archaeologists to this type of artefacts …
Les agglomérations celtiques pré-Conquête en Gaule du Centre-Est. Apport des travaux du PCR « agglomérations antiques de Bourgogne, Franche-Comté et …
2019
Depuis les années 1980, l'étude du fait urbain antique est l'une des questions les plus étudiée sur le territoire des dix départements formant le centre-est de la France. Le développement d'un programme collectif de recherche sur ce thème en 2012 a permis d'en dresser un nouvel inventaire et de rassembler une donnée souvent disparate. Ces travaux ont plus particulièrement porté attention aux phases initiales de mise en place du réseau urbain, en tentant, à l'aide de ces données et de nouvelles prospections, de disposer d'une vision évolutive des sites les plus marquants. Malgré les grandes difficultés méthodologiques et documentaires rencontrées, il apparaît assez nettement que la période a…
