Cavaillon (84), Ancienne cathédrale Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Véran. Suivi archéologique de sondages géotechniques
2023
Pour les besoins de l’étude géotechnique, six sondages ont été creusés dans et autour de l’ancienne cathédrale de Cavaillon en février 2020. Ils avaient pour objectif de comprendre les désordres structurels observés sur l’édifice en mettant à jour les fondations des différentes constructions (chapelles, chevet, nef et annexe). Compte-tenu du contexte archéologique, le Service Régional de l’Archéologie de PACA a prescrit leur suivi archéologique. L’objectif était de documenter les niveaux d’occupation mis au jour sans détruire les vestiges remarquables, en particulier les maçonneries et les sépultures. Parmi les sondages, les trois situés au nord de l’ancienne cathédrale, le long de la rue D…
Medieval Treasure Lore

Treasure took a number of forms in the Middle Ages.1 We will first deal with treasure troves in mythical and epic sources. Then we will look at the political and theological significance of medieval treasures.
Citizenship: participation and exclusion in early modern Europe
2011
PurposeThe purpose of this article is to discuss the most recent results of the historiographical works on the subject “how to become a citizen” within the European continent in the early modern period (sixteenth‐nineteenth centuries).Design/methodology/approachThe idea that citizenship status could not mark the difference between natives and immigrants on a geographical basis, as natives were entitled to it at various stages as well, stands out from the presentation of some case studies (the Republic of Venice, the Papal State, the Reign of Naples, France, Spain and Britain).FindingsIn many contexts, citizenship was rather the political recognition of social and economic integration of som…
Al servicio del rey. Sobre la carta real diplomática de la Corona de Aragón (1336-1458)
2017
El objetivo de este artículo es reconstruir la evolución morfológica de la carta real diplomática catalanoaragonesa entre los reinados de Pedro el Ceremonioso y Alfonso el Magnánimo. A lo largo de este período, esta tipología documental, siguiendo los principios del Ars dictaminis, adaptó sus características externas e internas a las acciones jurídicas que contenía y a sus destinatarios, sin renunciar por ello a su simplicidad material y textual. Con su adecuación a las necesidades comunicativas de la monarquía, la carta real diplomática se convirtió en un instrumento de gobierno que contribuyó al fortalecimiento del poder real y anticipó formas que alcanzarán su pleno desarrollo en época m…
Tracing 2000 Years at the Source of the Douix, Côte-d’Or, France: Water, Offerings, and Recurrence
2019
The Source of the Douix in Châtillon-sur-Seine, France, has been visited by local inhabitants for over 2000 years and served as a watery focal point for the ritual deposition of various types of offerings. While water deposits are by no means uncommon across Europe, the continued use of a single space over multiple millennia is. An examination of the preserved offerings at the Douix indicate there are three phases of depositional activity: late Hallstatt to early La Tène periods, late La Tène to Gallo-Roman periods, and the early modern period. Despite being separated by hundreds of years there are similarities across depositional phases including the importance of modified metallic objects…
The Authorities’ Attitude Towards Treasure Hunting
2012
Shortly after the fall of the Bastille, a London newspaper was scandalized that people had been imprisoned there for mere trifles. Among the prisoners listed was a certain Girard, allegedly a treasure seeker.1 Was treasure seeking indeed merely a trifling offence? What had the courts and law enforcement agencies of premodern Britain and Europe to say about it? As we have seen in Chapter 1, treasure hunting as such was hardly ever illegal. It was, however, riddled with legal difficulties. What percentage of his find would the treasure hunter actually get? What would the fisc demand for the prince’s coffers? In addition to these juridical problems, an important part of pre-modern treasure hun…

Early modern period adobe in Sicily: recent finds
2014
Earthen architecture in ancient Sicily can be linked to a technological continuity common to the whole Mediterranean basin. The island possesses numerous finds, dating back to periods from pre-history to the Hellenistic-Roman age, during which the adobe technique was common. Therefore the archaeological field had been the only one investigated, also due to the fact that more recent evidence of use of earth as a principal element in wall-building techniques was unknown in the Region. Recently traces of adobe were discovered in in the historical centre of Cefalù, on the northern coast of Sicily; these few portions are to be found in residential buildings made primarily of stone. Albeit modest…
Women Writers of Early Modern Spain: A Feminist Overview
2019
Les escriptores espanyoles de la primera edat moderna no han rebut l'atenció que calia, en gran part per la manca de documentació. Els esforços recents d'investigadors feministes, però, han trobat més escriptores de les que es coneixien anteriorment. Aquests investigadors s'han dedicat a l'estudi del seu context històric, com ara l'educació i el nivell social. Cal distingir la producció cultural femenívola d'aquella que prové de religioses o seglars, i també de les elits o no-elits, encara que totes van contribuir als gèneres literaris de poesia, novel·les, contes curts o obres de teatre. Les escriptores també es van dedicar a escriure, a més, els anomenats egodocuments, com ara autobiograf…
L’usage des trachytes de la chaîne des Puys depuis deux millénaires
2021
The very recent work carried out within the framework of a Collective Research Project (PCR-Trachytes) supported by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs has completely renewed our knowledge of the use of trachytic lavas from the chaîne des Puys over the last two millennia. A complete petrographic identity sheet has been established for each of these trachytes. This database showed that each trachytic volcano was made up of a different lava from those of its neighbours, except for Cliersou and Aumône which have the same lava. Moreover, for the Puy de Dôme and the Cratère Kilian, it was shown that they were each made up of two different lavas. Thus, the fine chara…
