A funerary perspective on the Bell Beaker period in the Wester Mediterranean Reading the social context of individual burials at La Vital (Gandia, Va…
2013
[EN] The discussion about social dynamics in recent Pre- history is supported by the study of funerary practices. The presence and significance of individual and collec- tive burials in Final Neolithic/Chalcolithic societies in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula provides new evi- dence for the debate concerning the emergence of social inequalities in this region. Our contribution is based on the recent discovery and excavation of several individual pit burials in domestic contexts at the site of La Vital (Gandía, Valencia). The particularities of the identified burials (different ritual episodes) and their content (Bell Beaker pottery, metal objects, animal offerings) together with an …
Territories, identities and strategies in Forez from the sixth at the first front millenium BC in the upstream basin of the Loire (France)
2007
This thesis heading Territories, identities and strategies in Forez from the sixth at the first front millenium BC in the upstream basin of the Loire, relates to an extent in the north-Eastern part of the Massif central in contact with the Rhodanian corridor. This intramontane sector (current department of Loire 42) has allowed to build a consequent archaeological corpus which clarified behaviors having strong socio-economic and environmental implications. The archaeological study called upon various disciplines: agronomy, anthropology, archeometry (palynology, dating 14C, etc.), ceramology, geography, geomorphology, petrography, sedimentology, volumetry. It recuts several sets of themes : …

Chronologie et périodisation des campaniformes en France méditerranéenne
2012
What is the current state of research, twenty years after the Ambérieu-en-Bugey colloquium, regarding the chronological setitng of the Bell Beaker horizon, the periodisation of pottery styles and the relationships between Bell Beakers and local groups in the late Neolithic in Mediterranean France ? A brief inventory of knowledge from 1992 together with research from the last two decades will allow us to re-evaluate stratigraphic evidence and radiocarbon dates and to examine the evolution of sttlement distribution and the artefact contexts and associations
Chapter 5 : The Beaker Transition in Mediterranean France
2010
In Mediterranean France, the end of the Neolithic is now wellknown. Many cultural groups are chronologically and geographically defined (Rhône-Ouvèze, Fontbouisse, Vérazien...) and the origin of the Beakers phenomenon seems clearly foreign in this context. The existence of this cultural variety in the Final Neolithic leads to: Differences in the first Beaker settlements in these areas, Various types of acculturation, partial or total, of the indigenous groups, with sometimes the survival of certain Late Neolithic traditions, The development of two Middle regional Bell Beakers groups (Pyrenean group and Rhodano-Provençal Group) after the first phenomenon. The beaker pots known on several hun…
Composantes culturelles et Premières productions céramiques du Bronze ancien dans le sud-est de la France
2012
The collective research project "Cultural components of the first pottery productions of the Early Bronze Age in Southeast France" derives from renewal of documentation on the Early Bronze Age in the southeast Rhodanian region and new approaches to the Bell Beaker period, particularly in the southern part of Southeast France. In 1998, the Riva del Garda conference constituted a high point in Bell Beaker research at a European scale, of which the consequences and questions motivated the collective project for an overview of the transition from the end of the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age in a large southeastern quarter of France. In these regions, issues relating to the future of Bell Be…
Explorations, implantations et diffusions : le "phénomène" campaniforme en France méditerranéenne
2004
In the south-east of France, the first Bell Beaker expansion is manifested by the presence of isolated ceramics but also by a series of settlements established in contact with the indigenous populations. Analysis of the assemblages, their composition and their distribution makes it possible to propose a model of the appearance and development of the Bell Beaker phenomenon but also the probable origin of the elements present in this area.
Phénomène, culture et tradition : statuts et r̂oles du Campaniforme au IIIe millénaire dans le Sud-Est de la France
1998
Abstract The "Bell Beaker " complex should not be globally perceived, because it seems to include several different entities, as shown by its variations in space and time. A regional approach, in south-eastern France, outlines the existence of a first " Bell Beaker Phenomenon " and its spread in Late Neolithic societies. This relatively marginal phenomenon quickly becomes an actual independent "Bell Beaker Culture ", with different geographical fades. These may have been in contact with surviving local cultures. In the Early Bronze Age, a "Bell Beaker Tradition " integrates some new elements brought in from outside, and seems to extend the Bell Beaker culture. The role of this " Bell Beaker…
Les Campaniformes dans le sud-est de la France
2004
The term "Bell Beaker", in the strict sense, designates a ceramic beaker form with an S-shaped profile that gives it the shape of an inverted bell. This type of drinking-vessel is characterized by both its very particular pattern of decoration and by the generally skilled execution of that decoration. By extension, the decoration characteristic of these beakers bas allowed the expansion of the category "Bell-Beaker" to include other pottery forms and even other types of decoration showing the same tradition, vvhich probably represent an evolution or reproduction of the original Bell Beaker pattern, The recognition of these objects and their definition as a class date to the nineteenth centu…
La Périodisation du Campaniforme dans le Midi. Jean Guilaine avait raison.
2003
La périodisation du Campaniforme pour le Midi de la France, mise en place il y a plus de trente ans, consiste en une interprétation chronologique des styles de la céramique décorée, définis antérieurement. Répondant probablement en grande partie au vieux complexe naturaliste des archéologues (trier, classer et ordonner), elle est aussi et avant tout un outil d'interprétation à partir de laquelle les théories les plus récentes ont pu être élaborées.Naturellement fragile, comme toute interprétation archéologique, cette périodisation a fait l'objet, ces dernières années, de contestations et d'une remise en cause sans que d'autres propositions ne prennent le relais pour nous fournir un nécessai…
