Un disco-coraza de hierro de la Bastida de les Alcusses (moixent, valencia)
2017
Se presenta un disco-coraza de hierro procedente del oppidum ibérico de la Bastida de les Alcusses documentado con motivo de la revisión completa de los hallazgos de las excavaciones realizadas entre 1928 y 1931. La pieza es una lámina seudocircular en cuyo perímetro se distribuyen unos pequeños remaches para suspender el disco a las correas de sujeción, realizadas probablemente en cuero. Después de presentar el disco y los resultados de las analíticas EDXRF que permiten identificar los metales utilizados en la producción del disco (hierro) y los remaches (plata y cobre), se analiza su contexto de hallazgo, se encuadra históricamente esta categoría de armamento defensivo. Finalmente, se int…
Introduction. Leave no stone unturned: Perspectives on ground stone artefact research
2016
Ground stone tools served in many physical and social contexts through millennia, reflecting a wide variety of functions. Although ground stone tool studies were neglected for much of early archaeology, the last few decades witnessed a notable international uptick in the way archaeologists confront this multifaceted topic. Today, with the advance of archaeology as a discipline, research into ground stone artefacts is moving into a new phase that integrates high resolution documentation with new methodological, analytical techniques, and technological approaches. These open new vistas for an array of studies and wide-ranging interpretive endeavours related to understanding ground stone tool …
Introducing the Human Factor in Predictive Modelling: a Work in Progress
2012
International audience; In this paper we present the results of a study into integrating socio-cultural factors into predictive modelling. So far, predictive modelling has largely neglected the social and cultural dimensions of past landscapes. To maintain its value for archaeological research, therefore, it needs new methodologies, concepts and theories. For this study, we have departed from the methodology developed in the 1990s during the Archaeomedes Project. In this project, cross-regional comparisons of settlement location factors were made by analyzing the environmental context of Roman settlements in the French Rhône Valley. For the current research, we expanded the set of variables…
Comments on: A review of the evolution, biostratigraphy, provincialism and diversity of Middle and early Late Triassic conodonts

The space-time relationship of taxonomic diversity and morphological disparity in the Middle Jurassic ammonite radiation.
2007
14 pages; International audience; The Middle Jurassic ammonite radiation (from the late Aalenian to the end of the mid-Bathonian) is traced using combined analyses of morphological disparity and taxonomic diversity. The global signals of disparity and diversity are compared. These signals are then broken down by paleogeographical provinces to detect any heterogeneity in the radiation. An examination of the global signals reveals three biodiversity crises (discordances between signals) where morphological disparity grows while taxonomic diversity declines. The subdivision of the signals indicates the radiation was heterogeneous between provinces: the global signal is an aggregate of signals …

L’origine des Imerites Rouchadze, 1933 : résultat d’une innovation chez les Gassendiceratinae Bert, Delanoy et Bersac, 2006 (Ammonoidea, Ancylocerati…
2009
15 pages; La découverte récente de plusieurs spécimens remarquables d'Imerites dichotomum (Ammonoidea, Ancyloceratina) apporte de nouvelles précisions paléontologiques sur ce genre. L'étude du développement ontogénétique montre que les Imerites dérivent directement du genre Pseudoshasticrioceras. Leur origine se situe donc parmi les Gassendiceratinae et non chez les Heteroceratidae comme il était généralement admis. Par ailleurs, la cohabitation de formes macroconques et microconques au sein des espèces du genre Imerites confirme l'hypothèse du dimorphisme. Les nouvelles données paléontologiques obtenues montrent que le taxon « Crioceras » cristatus est un nomen dubium et qu'il doit être ab…
Population dynamics, social resilience strategies, and Adaptive Cycles in early farming societies of SW Central Europe
2017
Abstract Inferred European Holocene population size exhibits large fluctuations, particularly around the onset of farming. We attempt to find explanations for these fluctuations by employing the concept of cycling, especially that of the Adaptive Cycle. We base our analysis on chronologically and chorologically highly resolved ceramic and site data from the Linear Pottery culture (Germ. Linearbandkermik ) of the early Neolithic of southwestern Central Europe. Typological seriation with dendrochronological anchor dates provides the age model for these data. Ceramic motifs are analysed with respect to the temporally changing diversity in decoration. The temporal sequence of major decoration m…
Description de Artareites landii nov. (Ammonoidea) du Barrémien supérieur de Majastre (sud-est de la France) et discussion sur les Helicancylidae Hya…
2009
25 pages; Dans le secteur de Majastre (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, SE de la France), le domaine hémipélagique du Crétacé inférieur est exposé à la faveur du décrochement du Poil. Cette position paléogéographique et paléotectonique a permis la récolte d'une faune d'ammonites diversifiée dans le niveau à « petits Barremites ». Il est précisément daté ici pour la première fois et se place entre la base de la sous-zone à Barremense et la base du biohorizon à Breistrofferi de la biozone à Vandenheckei (base du Barrémien supérieur). Au sein de cette faune, Artareites landii nov. sp. est considéré ici, par ses caractéristiques et sa position stratigraphique, comme issu du genre Dissimilites Sarkar. L…
