Sanctuaries and religious practices from the 3rd to 5th c. AD in central-eastern Gaul (Lugdunensis I and Maxima Sequanorum)
2014
The available documentation (archaeological data from former and new excavations, written sources) regarding the eastern areas of Gaul is quite copious, offering the possibility to get on main questions about the evolution of the traditional paganism between the Early Empire and Late Antiquity. This collation and classification of sources allows, in particular, to put forward a rather precise phasing of events concerning the changes in cult practices as well about the transformation of equipments and cult sites.

Over the past few years, studies of DNA isolated from human fossils and archaeological remains have generated considerable novel insight into the history of our species. Several landmark papers have described the genomes of ancient humans across West Eurasia, demonstrating the presence of large-scale, dynamic population movements over the last 10,000 years, such that ancestry across present-day populations is likely to be a mixture of several ancient groups [1-7]. While these efforts are bringing the details of West Eurasian prehistory into increasing focus, studies aimed at understanding the processes behind the generation of the current West Eurasian genetic landscape have been limited by…
Effect of population structure and migration when investigating genetic continuity using ancient DNA
2016
AbstractRecent advances in sequencing techniques provide means to access direct genetic snapshots from the past with ancient DNA data (aDNA) from diverse periods of human prehistory. Comparing samples taken in the same region but at different time periods may indicate if there is continuity in the peopling history of that area or if a large genetic input, such as an immigration wave, has occurred. Here we propose a new modeling approach for investigating population continuity using aDNA, including two fundamental elements in human evolution that were absent from previous methods: population structure and migration. The method also considers the extensive temporal and geographic heterogeneit…
Approche géoarchéologique sur la nécropole monumentale d'Escolives-Ste-Camille (Yonne): un site en bordure d'un chenal de l'Yonne à l'époque néolithi…
2006
Die Herausbildung des Mittelneolithikums I Cerny wird im Südosten des Pariser Beckens von dem Auftauchen monumentaler Nekropolen in den Sohlen von Flusstälern begleitet. Die Eingliederung dieser Bestattungsplätze in die Landschaft lässt eine ausdrückliche Absicht erkennen und tradiert möglicherweise den Anspruch einer Gruppe, ihr Gebiet deutlich als das ihre auszuweisen. Vor diesem Hintergrund waren die Ausgrabungen der Nekrolpole von Escolives-Sainte-Camille ‘La Pièce de l'Étang’ von Untersuchungen begleitet, welche die Umgebung des Fundplatzes in neolithischer Zeit bestimmen sollten. Es ging darum, die Einfügung des Platzes zwischen zwei Paläorinnen in ihrem hydrographischen Milieu zu rek…
Un site de plein air du Mésolithique ancien à Tramoyes « Sous le Port » (Ain)
2016
Der Fundplatz wurde am heute trockengelegten Lac des Echets lokalisiert, in einem sandigen Kontext alluvialen Ursprungs, der sich den OSL-Datierungen zufolge im jüngeren Spätglazial abgelagert hatte. Die ergrabene Fläche ist zu klein, um die räumliche Organisation der durch verstreute Geröll- und Feuersteingeräte materialisierten Spuren zu erfassen. Der größte Teil der Funde wird dem Frühmesolithikum des Typs Beuronien zugeordnet, zu dem einige Elemente des älteren Sauveterrien kommen. Die 14C-Datierungen ordnen diese Belegungsphasen in das mittlere Präboreal ein. Die technotypologischen Merkmale der Steinartefakte zeigen, dass beim Abbau vorwiegend Lamellen produziert werden, daneben auch …

La lungimiranza politica di Claudio fra storiografia antica e Ragion di stato dei moderni
2018
Il contributo si concentra sul racconto tacitiano del discorso tenuto da Claudio nel 48 d.C. a favore dell’ammissione in senato dei primores della Gallia Comata, esaminando le argomentazioni usate dallo storico per chiarire le reazioni suscitate dalla loro richiesta e la linea argomentativa adottata dall’imperatore per convincere i senatori ad accettarla. Oltre ad esprimere la consapevolezza dell’efficacia dei criteri usati dai romani per istituire un ordinamento imperiale a carattere sopranazionale, il passo mostra l’abilità di Tacito nel sottolineare la pregnanza politica dell’intervento di Claudio e nel renderlo un modello meritevole di sopravvivere ed essere menzionato molti secoli più …

Modélisation des objets urbains pour l'étude des dynamiques urbaines dans la longue durée
2007
The use of GIS to study the spatial evolution of pre-industrial cities over the "longue durée" requires rigorously formalising heterogeneous data from different sources into robust entities. An initial model using the HBDS (Hypergraph Based Data Structure) method enabled us to distinguish social and spatial features. In this paper we develop a specific model for the temporal dimension. The definition of urban objects using social, spatial and temporal features enhances the study of urban dynamics of change over the "longue durée".
