Villiers-sur-Seine
2020
The known Bronze Age settlements between the Île-de-France and Champagne are usually small, unenclosed family farms. The Villiers-sur-Seine site, however, built in a visible and accessible location that enabled control of activities on the nearby river, is completely different: the two large buildings and their annexes were protected by a system of ditches and an ostentatious palisade. Though the Seine Valley was already anthropised at the end of the 9th century BC, this habitat seems to have had a significant impact on the nearby natural environment: development of agropastoral activities due to the extension of wet meadows, episodes of land clearing for construction, cultivation of variou…
L’épée, arme et symbole. Le point de vue technique sur les fonctions des épées à poignée métallique de l’âge du Bronze
2018
The sword, which was invented during Bronze Age, is certainly the ultimate weapon, associated to war and warriors, designed to fight during combats. However, because of its technical complexity, its ostentatious aspect, especially when it is equipped with a bronze hilt, or its strong individualization for example through ornaments, swords can also be considered as symbols. This symbol can be connected to an individual, a social position, a community or to another concept we cannot precisely understand. Of course, material and immaterial aspects do not always exclude each other, and a single object can be used for both. However, a first inspection of these weapons shows that some of them cou…
Une production locale d’épées à poignée métallique dans l’est de la France à la fin de l’âge du Bronze ?
2018
International audience; Une première étude croisée des formes et des techniques de fabrication des épées à poignée métallique de la fin du Bronze final au niveau européen a permis de dégager l’hypothèse d’une possible fabrication indépendante de ce type d’arme dans l’est de la France. Cette proposition repose tout particulièrement sur l’étude de deux groupes typologiques contemporains : le type Mörigen et la variante Hostomice du type Tachlovice. Ce travail vise à illustrer le potentiel des études technologiques sur ces épées qui, en complément de la typologie, permettront d’obtenir de précieux renseignement sur les artisans métallurgistes ou encore sur les centres de production et les rése…
