International audience; (résumé de la partie archéozoologique) Les restes animaux du puits Un peu plus de 130 restes d'animaux ont été trouvés dans divers niveaux du puits, plus particulièrement dans sa partie inférieure La plupart sont de menus fragments, dont une bonne partie porte a été rongée par les chiens, certains ayant même été ingérés. Les bœufs et les chevaux de l'enclos Les ossements découverts dans l'enclos proviennent exclusivement du fossé où ils ont été enfouis, et protégés ainsi d'une destruction inéluctable s'ils étaient restés sur le sol. Toutefois, ils ont subi de nombreuses agressions depuis leur enfouissement, et ce qui nous est parvenu est sans doute une infime partie …

Du Bronze moyen à l’Antiquité, un lieu de culte inscrit dans la longue durée : Mez-Notariou - Ouessant
2005
In the heart of the island of Ushant, the protohistoric site of Mez-Notariou reveals remains of Early and Middle Bronze Age and Early Iron Age settlements. Traces of religious activity have also been discovered extending from the Middle Bronze Age to the end of Roman Antiquity. They are exemplified in particular by organized deposits of bones of mammals, fish and limpets. For 2000 years the right shoulders of mammals were chosen (60 to 80 %). Deposits of metallic objects are also connected with these practices which only ceased at the beginning of the High Middle Ages after the destruction of the site. It is possible that, beginning with La Tène, practices linked to a protohistoric settleme…

Religious believes versus cultural resource management: about the Medieval Jewish cemetery of Valencia (Spain)
2001
Archaeological heritage ownership is a controversial subject under the influence of both ethnic and religious claims. In 1996, a group of Jewish communities finally were able to interrupt the archaeological excavation under way at the medieval Jewish cemetery of Valencia. In this manner they did not allow the anthropological analysis of human remains recovered at the site that were reburied at the Jewish cemetery of Barcelona. Both administrations, local and regional, prioritized religious claims of the communities involved with respect to the archaeological heritage. As a consequence of a complaint filed by a group of citizens, the Síndic of Greuges of the Valencian Community (regional omb…
A distinct section of the early bronze age society? Stable isotope investigations of burials in settlement pits and multiple inhumations of the Úněti…
2015
OBJECTIVES: Inhumations in so-called settlement pits and multiple interments are subordinate burial practices of the Early Bronze Age Unětice culture in central Germany (2200-1700/1650 BC). The majority of the Unětice population was entombed as single inhumations in rectangular grave pits with a normative position of the body. The goal of the study was to test archaeological hypotheses that the deviant burials may represent socially distinct or nonlocal individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study comprised up to two teeth and one bone each of 74 human individuals from eight sites and faunal comparative samples. The inhumations included regular, deviant burials in so-called settlement or s…
Natural Laboratories for Field Observation About Genesis and Landscape Effects of Palaeo-Earthquakes: a Proposal for the Rocca Busambra and Monte Bar…
2018
Earthquakes are phenomena that are still being learned by the scientific community, and poorly known, especially as regards the prevention, by the population. Having a more complete knowledge is a basic step in understanding the vastness and intensity of the destructive phenomenon that involves a great amount of people. The recent earthquakes occurred in Central Italy (L’Aquila and Amatrice earthquakes) are examples that demonstrate the importance of having knowledge about these phenomena to contrast their destructive effects. We present a geological field trip to recognise causes and landscape effects of palaeo-earthquakes recorded in the Mesozoic rock successions outcropping in Sicily. Th…
