The production of terracotta figurines in the city of Augustodunum. Presentation of the latest research.

2018

National audience; Les opérations archéologiques menées depuis 2013 sur le secteur de la Genetoye ont permis de mettre au jour un mobilier de coroplastie important et de bonne qualité. Ces figurines ont constitué le point de départ de la réalisation d’un mémoire universitaire (ANDROUIN 2017) et d’une nouvelle approche de ces objets. Nous présenterons ici les derniers résultats concernant l’étude des productions des figurines en terre cuite gallo-romaines dans l’agglomération d’Augustodunum.

The rural dwelling of the Second Iron Age

2013

This book, resulting from a national investigation conducted by Inrap, is an analytical presentation of the rhythms of the emergence and abandonment of rural settlements during the Second Iron Age in the northern half of France. Depending on the region studied, between the 5th century BC and the 1st century AD, rural settlements were established, and have now been studied through preventative archaeological operations covering large surfaces. These studied updated our knowledge of the Gallic countryside, integrating paleobotanical, zooarchaeological and climatic data. Through systematic studies and presentations, this book offers a useful glimpse into this period, linking archaeology and hi…

Gli studi sull’arte armena a Venezia. Alpago Novello e le prospettive di ricerca

2020

<div> <p>This paper aims to retrace the Armenian Studies’ tradition in Venice. This tradition moved from the firsts scientific publications edited by the Mechitarist Congregation of San Lazzaro to Ca’ Foscari University’s first chair of Armenian Studies, led by father Levon Zekyan in 1976. During that year, Adriano Alpago Novello founded the Study and Documentation Centre of Armenian Culture that in 1992 moved from Milan to Venice. The present paper focuses on the legacy of Alpago Novello through the analysis of his working methods and results in the context of the history of Armenian art and architecture. His methodology belongs to the field of the ecology of art.</p> &lt…

Gestión de los productos alimentarios en Lattara (Lattes, Francia), entre el 450 y el 400 a.n.e.

2009

International audience; En este trabajo se presenta una aproximación a la alimentación de los habitantes de la ciudad portuaria de Lattara durante la segunda mitad del siglo V a.n.e., principalmente a partir de los restos bioarqueológicos. Se examina cuales fueron los alimentos principales (cereales, leguminosas, frutos, carnes y pescados) y su utilización cotidiana. El estudio del estado en que se encontraban al llegar a la ciudad, su almacenamiento, preparación, consumo y gestión de los residuos generados, forma parte de una investigación que pretende combinar los diferentes datos arqueológicos relacionados con la naturaleza diversa de estos productos.; Ce travail présente une approche à …

Redécouverte d'une faune pléistocène dans les remplissages karstiques de Tam Hang au Laos : premiers résultats.

2008

12 pages; The discovery of a Pleistocene fauna in karstic fills at TamHang in Laos: preliminary results. TamHang, located in northeastern Laos, in the Hua Pan province, is a reference site not only for its numerous archaeological and human remains, but also for its two faunal assemblages, whose composition suggests different dating in the Pleistocene. Discovered in 1934 by Jacques Fromaget, a new excavation of the site has been undertaken in 2003. During this campaign, at Tam Hang south, 575 isolated teeth of mammals were extracted from a deep layer of calcareous breccia. This assemblage corresponds to that one described by Arambourg and Fromaget [C. Arambourg, J. Fromaget, Le gisement quat…

Historical and Technical Notes on Aqueducts from Prehistoric to Medieval Times

2013

The aim of this paper is to present the evolution of aqueduct technologies through the millennia, from prehistoric to medieval times. These hydraulic works were used by several civilizations to collect water from springs and to transport it to settlements, sanctuaries and other targets. Several civilizations, in China and the Americas, developed water transport systems independently, and brought these to high levels of sophistication. For the Mediterranean civilizations, one of the salient characteristics of cultural development, since the Minoan Era (ca. 3200-1100 BC), is the architectural and hydraulic function of aqueducts used for the water supply in palaces and other settlements. The M…

A Laboratory Dust Generator Applying Vibration to Soil Sample: Mineralogical Study and Compositional Analyses

2020

International audience; A laboratory study was carried out using a vibrating system (SyGAVib) to produce aerosols from four soils collected in the central Tunisian region around Sfax. The aim of this device is to mimic dust emission by natural wind erosion. Using compositional analysis, the dust produced was compared to (i) dust generated in a wind tunnel by the same soils, (ii) fine sieved and (iii) original bulk soils, and (iv) naturally occurring aerosol samples collected in the same area. The relative quartz content strongly decreases from bulk to fine soils, and again from fine soils to both wind tunnel and vibration‐generated aerosols. Compositional data analysis (CoDA) clearly shows …
