A Multi-scalar Approach to Long-Term Dynamics, Spatial Relations and Economic Networks of Roman Secondary Settlements in Italy and the Ombrone Valley…

2019

AbstractIn Roman landscapes, the particular sites defined as secondary settlements (also known as vici/villages, minor centres, agglomérations secondaires and/or stationes/mansiones) have played an ‘intermediary’ role between the cities and other rural structures (villae/farms), linked to medium- and long-distance economic and commercial trajectories. The aim of this paper is to apply a multi-scalar approach to model their long-term spatial relationships and connectivity with the Mediterranean exchange network. On the macro-scale, we have analysed a sample of 219 reviewed sites to understand the diachronic trends and spatial dynamics of attraction/proximity to significant elements of the la…

Sanctuaries and rural settlements along the Roman road Lyon-Trier on the civitates of the Lingoni

2015

From a memory of a master on the study of the material from the sanctuary of Beire-le-Châtel "The Pâtis the Letto" as well as new studies such as material from the fanum Lux "Le Bois Giraud", the objective of this thesis is to understand the people who live along the Roman road Lyon - Trier on the civitates of the Lingoni et go on these places of worship. The material found in these sanctuaries was confronted with one of the rural settlements to distinguish local attendance and passing travelers. Finally, the study allows to emphasize the role of settlements - administrative center of the city and secondary towns - and communication routes in the genesis of Lingones’ places of worship but a…

Low cost system for visualization and exhibition of pottery finds in archeological museums

2015

The objective of this project is to build a low-cost system for surveying, modeling, prototyping and interactive visualizing aimed at the enhancement of islamic pottery finds of X – XI centuries. The system will allow various applications: the creation of systems for displaying artifacts from the museum alongside the exhibition, the virtual view of restorations from fragments, including AR and VR, the physical reconstruction of the original form using 3D printer to show the pieces in their entirety, as well as the construction of interactive virtual archives to be made available to scholars and visitors.

Non-invasive characterization of archaeological polychrome pottery and metallic artefacts: advantage and limits of XRF in situ analysis

Surface Analysis in Archaeology Using the Miniaturized Mössbauer Spectrometer MIMOS II

2003

A miniaturized Mossbauer spectrometer (MIMOS II) which was designed and constructed for extraterrestrial applications, such as iron-containing rock and soil analysis on the planet Mars, has been employed to investigate the iron-containing constituents in the paintings of a Lekythos Greek vase. Greek pottery is commonly painted with black figures. The Mossbauer backscattering spectra recorded with MIMOS II at room temperature show that the hand-painted black figures contain hematite.

Le site néolithique final de la Bastide Blanche (Peyrolles-en-Provence, Bouches-du-Rhône) : Premiers résultats 2003-2004

2006

The Bastide Blanche (Peyrolles-en-Provence, Bouches-du-Rhône) is a small settlement perched in edge of the Durance where the principal occupation is ascribable to the extreme end of the Neolithic era. Recognized in the past, it was the subject of multiple excavations but of any study nor of any specific publication. A survey campaign and a first excavation campaign programmed in 2003 and 2004 make it possible today to specify the homogeneity of the assemblies often mentioned in the scientific literature. Beyond the first description of the structures and archaeological furniture put at the day, this short note makes it possible to announce the existence of a sequence for the Rhone-Ouvèze gr…

Le Campaniforme récent dans le Sud-Est de la France : Une géographie historique ?

2001

Recent Bell Beakers artefacts in the southeast of France (« Rhodano-Provençal group ») were found in different types of sites. Those can be distinguished on the basis of the artefacts (number of ornamented ware, origin of domestic pottery) as well as their topographical location (high position or plain sites). The correlation between these data indicates a geography whose significance is open to discussion.

Campaniformes et cultures locales en France méditerranéenne

2006

Since the 1998 Riva del Garda conference and the synthesis coordinated by J Guilaine (2001), the new bell beakers archaeological data of Mediterranean France make it possible to specify the relations between the Bell Beakers ones and indigenous populations of the final Neolithic in this area. The phase of synchrony between Bell Beakers and local cultures, highlighted for the Early Bell Beakers between 2500 and 2400 before our era, can undoubtedly be wide at the first times, at least, development of the regional groups of recent bell beakers ("Rhodano- Provençal" and "Pyrénéen"). In parallel, differences in relations between these Bell beakers and the indigenous populations can be supposed i…

Étude typologique, technologique et culturelle de la céramique du Petit-Paulmy à Abilly (Indre-et-Loire)

2009

Anhand einer qualitativen und quantitativen Studie wurden die minimale und die maximale Anzahl der dem Endneolithikum zugeordneten Keramikindividuen ermittelt. Der Corpus umfasst drei typologische und technische Gruppen, die drei chronologischen und kulturellen Phasen entsprechen. Eine Quantifizierung der unterschiedlichen Formen vermittelt ein Bild des endneolithischen Keramikrepertoires des Fundplatzes. Der für die Herstellung der Keramik benutzte Ton ist lokaler Herkunft. Es existiert eine Korrelation zwischen der Dicke der Wandung, der Form der Gefäße und den unterschiedlichen Herstellungstechniken (Glättung, Schaben, Schlagen, Kieselglättung). Die Gefäße der drei Hauptformen wurden in …

Territorial and socio-economic organisation in Le Grand-Pressigny

2012

In and around Le Grand-Pressigny (Indre-et-Loire, France), a petrographic study was implementedon 92 ceramic samples from the Final Neolithic sites of Le Petit-Paulmy and Bergeresse (Abilly).Analyses showed that the sediments used were extracted from local sources: Claise and Creusealluvium, local substrate and loessic silts. Quantitatively, the study showed that almost all the ceramicmaterials in Bergeresse and more than half of those in Le Petit-Paulmy come from the valley of theCreuse. The mineralogical compositions of three samples from Le Petit-Paulmy, including one ofunusual form, indicate sources from an exogenous region, the Massif Central (perhaps the alluviumof the Loire or the Al…
