A monumental schola discovered on the Boulevard Frédéric-Latouche in Augustodunum/Autun (Saône-et-Loire)
2013
In 2011, an archaeological evaluation was carried out in the centre of the Roman city of Augustodunum (Autun) on a plot of over 1 ha. This operation afforded the opportunity to explore parts of two insulae along the main street, the so-called cardo maximus, an area that has benefited from recent advances in knowledge. The first insula hosts a high-status domus strongly resembling those of "Balbius Iassus" and the "Étui d’Or", excavated in the vicinity in the 1970s; the second, addressed in this paper, contains the remains of a vast monumental complex covering approximately 900 m2. Most probably built at the beginning of the 2nd c. on the ruins of earlier houses, it was thoroughly restructur…
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…
Une vigne gallo-romaine de plaine à Gevrey-Chambertin (Côte-d'Or), Ier-IIe s. ap. J.-C.. Implications pour le développement des terroirs viticoles de…
2011
Recent excavations at Au-dessus de Bergis in Gevrey-Chambertin (Côte-d’Or, Burgundy) brought to light numerous, rectangular aligned pits interpreted as an ancient vineyard dated from the end of the 1st/mid-2nd century to the 3rd century AD. The vineyard is largely extent in area and was bounded to the south by a hedge or fence. It was composed of parallel rows that may have been trained over and along high, inclined wooden frames. Vine stocks were renewed by layering, over several generations of plants, according to some agricultural wine-growing techniques recommended by Latin agronomists. This vineyard attests to the establishment of vineyards from the mid-1st century AD in places differe…
Les pratiques sacrificielles entre l’âge du Fer et la période romaine : entre mutations internes et influences extérieures
2016
International audience; La diversité des pratiques sacrificielles en Gaule est difficile à réduire aux effets d’une simple évolution indépendamment d’autres aspects, économiques ou urbanistiques par exemple. Cela tient à plusieurs raisons, et notamment aux limites inhérentes à l’approche archéologique des seuls aspects matériels des sacrifices d’animaux, le petit nombre de cas observés et leurs limites chronologiques –souvent un sacrifice n’est attesté que sur une fraction de la durée de fréquentation d’un sanctuaire-. Dans l’état actuel des recherches, les données sont donc insuffisantes pour nous permettre de mesurer la diversité des prescriptions, leurs particularités locales ou leur évo…
