The ´champagne-cup` period at Carchemish. A review of the Early Bronze Age levels on the Acropolis Mound and the problem of the Inner Town.

2007

The pioneer excavations conducted by the British Museum expedition at the famous site of Carchemish in the 1910’s brought to light a large number of buildings, sculptures and inscriptions which provide an outline of the urban layout of the Iron Age city and its monuments. While many scholars have often attempted to re-examine the epigraphic material as well as the style and chronology of the major works of this period in order to set them in a proper historical context, much less attention has been paid to the earlier levels mainly uncovered on the Acropolis mound, ranging from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. This paper discusses the archaeological evidence available and attempted to recon…

The Middle Euphrates region extends between the regions Jazirah and Northern Levant; it follows the course of the Euphrates from the south flanks of the Taurus mountains in Turkey almost to the modern borderline to Iraq. The settlement area drawn out between steppes in the east and in the west owes its particular character to just that life line with its fat soils but also to the trade routes meeting at the Euphrates Bend and connecting Anatolia to Mesopotamia and the Syrian east to the Levant. Especially for the 3rd millennium, finds and findings from the area under consideration show great cultural variety and demonstrate the different influences by the neighbouring regions that meet here…

Introduction

Environnements et cultures à l'âge du Bronze en Europe occidentale.

2007

Les approches paléoenvironnementales récentes permettent de suivre précisément les phases de déprises et d'emprises agricoles, depuis le début du Néolithique jusqu'à nos jours, mais l'âge du Bronze n'avait pas jusqu'alors bénéficié des mêmes études pluridisciplinaires liant dynamique de l'environnement ancien et approche culturelle. Le Bronze moyen correspond souvent à une forte déprise agricole et une détérioration climatique encadrées par des systèmes agro-pastoraux développés et les améliorations climatiques des périodes du Bronze ancien et final. A partir de ce schéma très simple (simpliste pour certains), il est apparu intéressant d'élaborer une problématique globale touchant aux reche…

History and Environmental Impact of Mining Activity in Celtic Aeduan Territory Recorded in a Peat Bog (Morvan, France)

2003

The present study aims to document historical mining and smelting activities by means of geochemical and pollen analyses performed in a peat bog core collected around the Bibracte oppidum (Morvan, France), the largest settlement of the great Aeduan Celtic tribe (ca. 180 B.C. to 25 A.D.). The anthropogenic Pb profile indicates local mining operations starting from the Late Bronze Age, ca. cal. 1300 B.C. Lead inputs peaked at the height of Aeduan civilization and then decreased after the Roman conquest of Gaul, when the site was abandoned. Other phases of mining are recognized from the 11th century to modern times. They have all led to modifications in plant cover, probably related in part to…

Les fouilles ont eu lieu en 2016-2017 sur une surface de près de 9 hectares. Elles faisaient suite au diagnostic de 2007 (RO : T. Capararro, Inrap) et à une première fouille réalisée en 2010 sur une surface de 1,5 hectares (RO : G. Bruley-Chabot, Inrap). Hormis quelques éléments épars du Paléolithique Moyen au Néolithique, les premières traces d'occupation remontent à l'âge du Bronze final (quelques fosses et un enclos circulaire de plus de 330 m2 ). Le Hallstatt et La Tène A sont représentés par un faible nombre de structure. Une importante nécropole date de La Tène B2-C1. Elle regroupe 42 inhumations et une probable crémation. Si les ossements sont pour la plupart très mal conservés, le m…

Characterization of traditional artificial patinas on copper using the voltammetry of immobilized particles

2020

[EN] The voltammetry of immobilized particles methodology (VIMP) is used to characterize the composition of artificial patinas on copper. The voltammetric response of carbonate-, nitrate-, chloride-, sulfate-, and sulfide-based patinas is described using sub-microsamples attached to graphite electrodes in contact with aqueous acetate buffer. Patina-characteristic voltammetric profiles are obtained for the different artificial patinas that can be recognized using the generalized Tafel analysis of the voltammetric curves. VIMP data could also provide layer-by-layer information about composition and compactness/crystallinity of the patinas for which a simplified theoretical modeling is present…
