Fontaines (Saône-et-Loire). Place de l’Église [notice archéologique]
2019
Le village actuel de Fontaines, situé à environ 8 km au N.-O. de Chalon-sur-Saône, se développe sur 1,5 km de long selon un unique axe E-O, depuis la montagne Saint-Hilaire à l’ouest, occupée au Néolithique puis durant l’Antiquité tardive et le haut Moyen Âge, jusqu’à l’église paroissiale Saint-Just, à l’est. Malgré une emprise limitée et contrainte par de nombreux réseaux existants, l’opération a permis de documenter l’environnement immédiat de l’église, occupé depuis l’Antiquité jusqu’à nos jours.
Le aree funerarie cristiane
2017
This paper shows the data edited and acquired in June and October 2010 by surveys in Sabratha made by researchers at the University of Palermo, in collaboration whit the CNR ITABC for the PRIN 2008 Project. It consists of a preliminary study for an archaeological gis of Sabratha to promote analysis regarding the riuse of space in the Regiones III-V of Sabratha, after the destruction attribuited to the earthquake on 21th July 365. In particular, the paper presents the results of the first study concerning the catacomb in the eastern suburbs, the sub-divo funerary areas between the churches 3 and 4 and the so-called Baths ofOceanus, the necropolis sub-divo North-East of the Theater and, final…
The Christian Funerary Areas
2017
Il contributo costituisce il primo studio unitario sulla catacomba e sulle aree funerarie cristiane sub-divo delle Regiones III, IV e V di Sabratha (Libia). After the earthquake of 365 A.D., the gradual process of Christianisation that involved the territories of North Africa left many signs in the Regio Tripolitania. Sabratha became a diocesan centre during the 4th and 5th centuries, and the Paleochristian catacomb, excavated after the Peace of the Church in year 313, is the first attestation of the new faith, togerther with the open-air funerary areas distributed between the episcopal complex of the Regio III, the Oceanus Thermae, the Theatre in the Regio IV and the Temple of Hercules.
Reconstruction of human subsistence and husbandry strategies from the Iberian Early Neolithic: A stable isotope approach
2018
Objectives The Early Neolithic involved an important social and economic shift that can be tested not only with the material culture, but also through biomolecular approaches. The Iberian Peninsula presents few Early Neolithic sites where fauna and humans can be analyzed together from an isotopic perspective. Here we present an isotopic study on the site of Cueva de Chaves as an example for understanding the dietary and economical changes that took place during Early Neolithic in Iberia. Material and methods Here we apply carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis to bone collagen from 4 humans and 64 faunal samples from 14 different species. The large dataset belongs to the same unique ch…
Approche d'un territoire de montagne : occupations humaines et contexte pédo-sédimentaire des versants du col du Petit-Saint-Bernard, de la Préhistoi…
2014
As part of a multi-year programme, survey campaigns have been carried out on both slopes of the Petit-Saint-Bernard pass (2188 m, western Alps), at an altitude of between 750 and 3000 m. The method employed abandons ground-based surveying in favour of multiple manual surveys carried out on selected topographic contexts down to the base of the Holocene fill. The results obtained document the longterm development of the pedo-sedimentary dynamic and the occupation of the different altitude stages. The significance of the archaeological data collected is discussed in relation to the state of knowledge in a comparison area including the neighbouring valleys of the western Alps, to existing settl…
The necropolis of Ensisheim/Reguisheimerfeld (Haut-Rhin) : illustration of the Late Bronze Age funerary practices in Alsace
2007
In 2000, the preventive excavation of the Ensisheim/Reguisheimerfeld site (Haut-Rhin), carried out by the ANTEA SARL company, brought to light 87 funerary structures belonging to a cremation necropolis dating from the beginning of the Late Bronze Age (around 1350-1050 BC). Following study of the material, 3 successive chronological phases and a possible cultural "faciès" centred on the bend in the Rhine at Basel, Switzerland, were distinguished. The archaeo-anthropological study of the burnt bones revealed, among other things, the existence of a large number of multiple graves and of socially immature members of the society, phenomena rarely observed in the region. The analysis of the inter…

Ancora sulle stele e le edicole dipinte di Lilibeo: immagini, formule, funzioni
2020
Il contributo esamina le stele e i naiskoi funerari dipinti di Lilibeo (Sicilia), recentemente incrementati da due nuove acquisizioni. Sono presi in considerazione i (pochi) dati contestuali, oltre a tipologia, iconografia e formule epigrafiche, allo scopo di mettere in luce specificità, funzioni e messaggi di tali manufatti. Alcuni elementi “trasversali” di carattere antiquario e stilistico, oltre ai dati epigrafici, attestano una sostanziale contemporaneità delle stele più semplici con singolo personaggio stante, con melograno in mano, e dei più elaborati naiskoi con “Totenmahlmotiv”, nella tarda età repubblicana. Le chiare differenze di morfologia, iconografia, formule epigrafiche e luog…
Two stelae with lateral decoration of the Museum of Langres: new study
2015
National audience; Parmi la riche collection de stèles funéraires gallo-romaines du Musée Guy Baillet de Langres, il est trois fragments appartenant à deux stèles qui nous ont interpellés. L'intérêt majeur de ces monuments est qu'ils conservent un décor latéral, peu ou pas étudié jusqu'alors. Si la première stèle se rapproche de celle que l'on peut trouver en Séquanie, la seconde propose une décoration latérale beaucoup plus rare.
Gender, Identities, and Material Culture in the Italic Peninsula: Burial Practices and Loom Weights in Perspective
2021
AbstractThis paper discusses the complex relationship between material culture and gender studies from a methodological point of view, with the aim of contributing to discussions in the field of Classical archaeology. First, we provide a few historiographical benchmarks for key epistemological developments, while evidencing the methodological difficulties inherent in the variability of our interpretations of burial practices and data. Then, in a second section, a case study focuses on simple objects of daily life. Discussing approaches inspired by gender studies, and considering the place of loom weights, we wish to tackle the presumption of textile work as an eminently female activity. The…
