Close-Range Photogrammetric Tools for Epigraphic Surveys
2016
In this article, we present a method to carry out a computerized epigraphic survey of historic stones and their engraved epigraphy. In fact, the preservation of archaeological objects has always been an issue of concern for the research community. On the one hand, the fragility of the objects limits their study. On the other hand, such objects are housed in museums, libraries, and institutions worldwide, locations that significantly limit their accessibility. Different survey methods have been carried out in these attempts to overcome the aforementioned limitations. Among them, the MicMac open source software was used in this work to survey and process the dense correlation of the hieroglyp…
La historiografía y la teoría social. Una discusión desde la historia de lo premoderno
2018
This article analyses the importance of social theory for historiography. It deals specifically with pre- modern historiography and the uses that it has for social theory. Through an example from the history of conflict resolution in the central Middle Ages, it will be shown how social theory plays a primordial role in the engagement of certain problems that cannot be tackled by the sole use of the tools which tradition- ally characterise history and its so-called 'auxiliary disciplines'.
The spatial analysis of cemeteries revisited. The example of the Late Iron Age and Early Gallo-Roman cemetery of Lamadelaine (Grand Duchy of Luxembou…

Gräberfelder zeigen selten zufällig angelegte und verteilte Grabstrukturen. Die Gräber selbst entstehen normalerweise in einem spontanen Prozess; in ihnen werden meist vollständig erhaltene Grabbeigaben absichtlich deponiert. Aus diesem Grund eignet sich diese Gattung archäologischer Befunde gut für eine quantitative und räumliche Analyse, die erlaubt, Informationen über die räumliche Organisation, den zeitlichen Ablauf und über sozio-ökonomische Aspekte des Friedhofes zu erhalten. Dieser Artikel bewertet die wichtigsten Methoden der räumlichen Analyse eines Fundplatzes, angepasst an Gräberfelder, auf Basis der vorgeschichtlichen und römischen Nekropole von Lamadelaine; weiter hin liefert e…

Formalization of scientific process and conceptual modelling for the study of territorial and products distribution dynamics (ArchaeDyn II programme)
2012
International audience; The ArchaeDyn team has investigated territorial dynamics by comparing areas over long time spans between the Neolithic and Modern times. Datasets on various themes have been shared and indicators and analytical models produced. This paper presents both the formalization of the scientific process used in the ArchaeDyn programme and a conceptual model of the systems and components so that synchronic and diachronic comparisons can be made. The aim is to clarify the transition from an archaeological feature (a site or an artefact) or a recording unit (survey area) as the input, to the characterization of spaces describing a system as the output. The approach is described…
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…
Anza palaeoichnological site, Late Cretaceous, Morocco. Part III: Comparison between traditional and photogrammetric records
2020
11 pages; International audience; The present study evaluates a methodological workflow that could identify dinosaur tracks and trackways more comprehensively at outcrop scale. The approach described here is based both on 3D modelling by photogrammetry at different resolutions, and on suitably processed digital elevation models (DEMs). The ichnosite of Anza, Morocco, was chosen to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed pipeline, because 323 dinosaur and pterosaur tracks discovered there have already been published. One subsector containing 89 tracks, identified in the two companion works that followed a traditional approach, was selected and divided into four subzones. By combining diff…
A planning support system for assessing strategies of local urban planning agencies
2008
Here we present our research project, which aims to develop a new kind of planning support system (PSS). The PSS aims to analyse the urban planning process. An important part of the construction of the PSS is the development of a multi-agent simulation model of the urban planning process; the model will be based on the comparison of the planning systems of France, England and the Netherlands.
