Importance of seeds in the process of common ragweed invasion
2012
International audience; Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (common ragweed) was introduced into Europe at the end of the 1900s and is now present in several European countries. This annual invasive plant produces seeds that are highly polymorphic. Common ragweed can produce only a few thousand highly viable seeds. Many studies have focused on the seed stage. Greater seedling emergence for the seeds placed near the soil surface could explain the success of this species in open habitats, where the probability of deeper burial is low. Emergence percentage was found to decrease as burial depth increased from 2 to 8 cm, and no germination nor seedling emergence was observed for the seeds buried from 10-…
Sépultures de chevaux devant Gergovie
2019
Huit hommes et huit chevaux inhumés, tous installés dans des positions similaires, allongés sur le flanc droit, les défunts reliés par le bras gauche tendu sur le visage. Des fouilles archéologiques mettent au jour à l’automne 2002 une sépulture multiple sur le site de Gondole, l’un des trois plus importants oppida d’Auvergne. Ces recherches révèlent alors une pratique d’inhumation aussi spectaculaire qu’inédite.Cinq autres fosses sont découvertes peu après à proximité, au pied de Gergovie, chacune exclusivement comblée de squelettes de chevaux déposés avec soin, selon des agencements complexes. L’analyse de ces tombes équines montre rapidement de nombreux points communs avec la sépulture d…

Observations préliminaires à l'étude des remplissages des tombes du Néolithique moyen I de Gurgy "Les Noisats" (Yonne)
2008
This paper presents results of experimental digging and filling of a pit in gravel context. That experimentation is the first step of an integrated analysis about sedimentary dynamic in neolithic burials from Gurgy « Les Noisats » (Yonne, France).
Late Bronze Age graves with weighing equipment from eastern France: the example of Migennes »Le Petit Moulin« (dép. Yonne), burial no. 298
2011
Die Nekropole von Migennes (Burgund) mit ihren 60 Bestattungen liefert herausragendes archäologisches Fundgut für die Spätbronzezeit (Stufe Bz D). Eines der Gräber (Grab 298) beinhaltete eine kleine »Schachtel« mit einer Ausstattung zum Wiegen (Balken und Gewichte) zusammen mit Geräten zur Bronzebearbeitung. Diese Art von Beigabe ist im südöstlichen Bereich des Pariser Beckens aus einigen Gräbern mit besonderem Zubehör bekannt.
The funerary area and the gallo-roman site of la “Barrière du Lot” in les Martres-de-Veyre (Puy-de-Dôme): old records and new data
2020
Located in the so-called “Barrière du Lot” in the Martres-de-Veyre district, the “Chaumes d’Allier” funerary area consists of a burial site which was excavated between 1851 and 1923. The exceptional state of preservation of the organic remains which were unearthed there (hair, coffins, pieces of clothing, funerary furniture) granted the site its world-wide reputation although, paradoxically, it remained somewhat overlooked as a whole. The recent discovery of unpublished archival materials relating to the 19th-century and early 20th-century excavations, together with an archeo-anthropological study of the documents found at the Bargoin Museum in Clermont-Ferrand, provide a brand-new spatial …
The dead do not dress: contribution of forensic anthropology experiments to burial practices analysis
2012
International audience; The specific question of clothing presence in burial context is often answered positively, thanks to artifacts like brooches for example. But when artefacts are missing, the task is more difficult, and frequent osteological arguments can only suggest the presence of clothing with the deceased. The gap in determining the presence of clothing is essentially related to a misunderstanding of the effect of clothing on the rate of human decomposition, and thus on the final arrangement of bones (in both forensic and archaeological contexts). Some forensic experiments have been conducted in this regard (essentially in the United States) but no synthesis or archaeological app…
Fouille d’un quartier funéraire des Ier et IIe s. dans le suburbium de Soissons/Augusta Suessionum : aires de crémation et inhumations d’enfants
2012
In the beginning of 2008 a preventive excavation has been conducted on about 1200 m2 of a large antique cemetery situated upon the butte Saint-Jean at Soissons (Aisne). In this cemetery, almost unknown, located south-west of the Roman town Augusta Suessionum a consistent activity in the part being excavated took place between the Augustan era and mid 2nd c. The total number of inhumations uncovered is 186 (mainly of infants). Cremations were executed from the very beginning altogether with inhumations, in more or less close proximity to them according to periods, then became predominant to the detriment of burials which were just previously arranged. Different structures clearly connected t…
Nuovi dati sulla catacomba di Sabratha (Libia)
2016
La ricerca è stata condotta in collaborazione con Giuseppina Cipriano per la parte archeologica e Francesco Scirè per il rilievo topografico e diretto, nell’ambito del Progetto PRIN 2008 dal titolo: Pagani e cristiani a Sabratha e Leptis Magna tra III e VI secolo d.C. Monumenti e reperti, tradizione e immagini, coordinato da Rosa Maria Carra.La catacomba di Sabratha è uno dei pochi esempi di cimitero comunitario cristiano finora noti nell’Africa Romana. L’ingresso, lungo il tracciato del decumano minore proveniente dal complesso episcopale della Regio III, si trova a pochi metri dall’attuale linea di costa, a metà strada fra il grande santuario suburbano di Iside e l’Anfiteatro e nei pressi…
Namaszczenie Jezusa w Betanii (Mt 26,6-13)
2019
The action of pericope that describes the anointing of Jesus (Matt. 26:6–13) took place in Bethany, in Judea. These areas were then part of the Great Roman Empire. Christ foretold that the woman who poured out the precious oil on His head in the house of Simon the Leper would know the whole world. That is what exactly happened. Many Christians do not know much about history of the Roman Empire, but probably everyone has heard of a nameless woman who anointed Jesus shortly before His passion and death. The woman embarrassed the apostles, her generous gesture toward Christ contrasted with the conspiracy of the chief priests and the elders of the people (Matt. 26:3–5) and the betrayal of Judas…
