Neolithic enclosures with pseudo-ditches

2020

The recent discovery of seven Neolithic sites in the Alsace Plain with “Rosheim” enclosures has renewed the interpretation of these extensive complexes dated to the 5th millennium BC. This very particular type of enclosure, whose eponymous site is located about twenty kilometres from Strasbourg, is made up of discontinuous ditches, following a pre-established layout, which are progressively filled in. New analysis of these monuments is accompanied by a reflection on their function (ceremonial or defensive), enabling us to provide a coherent account of the origin and important geographical extension of these enclosures, which are found in numerous cultural groups over more than two millennia…

Fleurey-sur-Ouche (Côte-d’Or). Maison de santé [notice archéologique]

2019

Une troisième fouille, dans un même secteur au centre du village de Fleurey-sur-Ouche, a pu compléter les informations déjà récoltées suite aux différentes opérations menées depuis 2015. La fouille, sur une surface de 2 745 m2, a mis au jour une occupation dense, constituée principalement de structures en creux pour la première phase du Moyen Âge central ; la seconde phase est, elle, matérialisée par des bâtiments dotés de caves, remblayées, selon les premières observations, au XIIIe s.

Le sanctuaire laténien de Semoine, « Voie Palon » (Aube)

2012

A rescue excavation in 2003 resulted in the discovery of a building on piles, constructed between two sections of ditch, of which the one on the north side has an entrance. The chronological data of the building and two ditches match and demonstrate the existence of cults during La Tène C2. Evidence of the cults is given by a small quantity of deliberately mutilated weapons, as has been found in other La Tène sanctuaries. Dating the creation of the enclosure is problematicaln but it probably derives from La Tène C1. Although sections of the site remained unexcavated, the stratigraphy of the ditches reveals the brevity and limited and unusual nature of the practices. This study links them to…

Fleurey-sur-Ouche (Côte-d’Or). Lotissement la Velle, rue de la gare [notice archéologique]

2019

Le village de Fleurey-sur-Ouche, situé à une quinzaine de kilomètres au N-O de Dijon, a connu plusieurs interventions archéologiques depuis 2015 dans un même secteur au cœur du bourg. Un diagnostic conduit en 2016 avait mis au jour plusieurs occupations successives s’échelonnant du Xe au XVIe s. sur la parcelle concernée par la construction d’un futur lotissement. La fouille menée sur une surface de 3 320 m2 a permis de confirmer cette occupation diachronique [...]

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…

Last Letters

2008

This collection of essays is devoted to last letters: letters sent - or not - to sever a relationship, to mark the end of a phase in one's life, or letters written by people about to be executed or commit suicide just before their deaths. Conversely, some of the letters analysed are fictional, and still other forms of texts, such as poems, are considered ultimate messages by the authors of the articles. By focussing on various forms of last letters, the contributors aim to define the influence of the epistolary context on endings and to provide an original approach to closure.

Women in the artistic professions : Contribution of sociology to the analysis of the processes of “social closure”

2009

International audience; The artistic professions evolved gradually towards intellectual professions. In this movement of intellectualization of creative activities, women who commonly practiced these professions in the Middle Ages lost their right during the XVIIth century. A historical perspective explains why men are strongly represent in these professions in the functions of experts, juries, artists, art critics, editors, producers, collectors, art merchants, historians… Since the profession is dominated by male judgement, our research will address the professional assertion of women. In particular, we will defend the position that informal obstacles prevent them from existing as author,…

Cabut, a C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor, is required during Drosophila dorsal closure downstream of JNK signaling.

2005

AbstractDuring dorsal closure, the lateral epithelia on each side of the embryo migrate dorsally over the amnioserosa and fuse at the dorsal midline. Detailed genetic studies have revealed that many molecules are involved in this epithelial sheet movement, either with a signaling function or as structural or motor components of the process. Here, we report the characterization of cabut (cbt), a new Drosophila gene involved in dorsal closure. cbt is expressed in the yolk sac nuclei and in the lateral epidermis. The Cbt protein contains three C2H2-type zinc fingers and a serine-rich domain, suggesting that it functions as a transcription factor. cbt mutants die as embryos with dorsal closure …

Model transformation language MOLA

2005

The paper describes a new graphical model transformation language MOLA. The basic idea of MOLA is to merge traditional structured programming as a control structure with pattern-based transformation rules. The key language element is a graphical loop concept. The main goal of MOLA is to describe model transformations in a natural and easy readable way.
