Quelques réflexions sur les remplois antiques en Limousin au cours du Moyen Âge
2011
Different kinds of antique material were re-used in the Limousin region during the middle ages. In this article the authors will mostly focus on the big ashlars located in the ecclesiastical rural sites. More and more of these specific kinds of spolia are now known. Around 50 sites are identified where they were used in churches or in their surroundings (mostly sarcophagi). In most examples only few pieces were used. Nonetheless, in seven cases those blocks are numerous, and in three of them parts of antique buildings - using monumental ashlars - are incorporated into churches. It is highly probable that the spoiled monuments were mausolea. At least two of them were re-used for a Christian …

La boucherie et les sacrifices bovins en Gaule aux IIe et Ier siècles avant notre ère
2007
Piles of animal bones from large domesticates – cattle and horses – have been identified on various settlement sites in Gaul ; these have undergone practices readily distinguishable from domestic butchery. Already perceptible on rural sites, these indications of a special butchery regime for cattle become more and more apparent elsewhere in tandem with the increasingly urbanised character of settlements. Cattle was also sacrificed during the Iron Age at sanctuaries, but only a small proportion of the meat produced was consumed in banquets held on site. At the Titelberg oppidum, substantial quantities of cattle bones were piled up around the sanctuaries at the end of the Iron Age and at the …
Les relations entre les Lagides et les cités crétoises
2013
Le royaume des Ptolemees ne se resuma jamais a l’Egypte : a peine l’eut-il recue au titre de satrapie au partage de Babylone, apres la mort d’Alexandre le Grand en 323 a.C., que Ptolemee fils de Lagos s’empara de la Cyrenaique voisine. Quelques annees plus tard, il tenta de conquerir la Syrie en 319-318, puis 312, mais n’y parvint qu’en 301. En 310, ce fut le tour de Chypre, ensuite perdue au profit de Demetrios en 306 et recouvree definitivement en 295-294. Le roi d’Egypte acquit egalement d...
Rei publicae Romanae auctor : la construction du mythe de Lucius Junius Brutus à l’époque impériale
2023
Un archétype au service des idées républicaines Dans sa dissertation académique consacrée à la figure de Lucius Junius Brutus, au début du xviiie siècle, Christoph Ludwig Crell, un juriste érudit habitué à travailler sur l’histoire et le droit des Romains, n’hésitait pas à caractériser ce personnage comme le fondateur de la république romaine : rei publicae Romanae auctor. Revalorisant des témoignages antiques, et avant tout les récits de Tite-Live et Denys d’Halicarnasse, sur le rôle de prem...

Explotació dels mamífers i economia de les darreres comunitats caçadores-recol·lectores del vessant mediterrani ibèric durant la transició Tardiglaci…
2015
En el presente trabajo se realiza el estudio zooarqueológico de los vertebrados terrestres explotados por los grupos humanos de los niveles tardiglaciares de los yacimientos de Santa Maira (boca Oeste) y Nerja (sala del Vestíbulo). A partir de los datos obtenidos para las facies culturales Magdaleniense / Epipaleolítico / Mesolítico se caracterizan las tendencias de cambio en los modelos económicos de las últimas comunidades cazadoras-recolectoras de la península ibérica. Estas secuencias se contextualizan así mismo en la zona biogeográfica mediterránea peninsular. Entre los resultados obtenidos cabe destacar la definición y caracterización de un modelo económico "tardiglaciar", donde el mo…
Le dossier de M. Helvius Anthus. Ou comment une mauvaise édition initiale entraîne la création d’ un « monstre » social
2021
An inscription discovered in Baetica and wrongly read by the publishers, was understood only late. The first reading, erroneous, gave rise to an impossible social situation of the Roman point of view : a slave would have had his statue on the forum of Lucurgentum ! More recent works allowed to correct this initial error and to restore the text, a testimony of the essay of upward social mobility of an emancipated slave, an evergete offering among others a statue of the god Ianus Pater.
The Acheulian Site of Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov
2011
Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov (GBY) is located in the southern Hula Valley, which, in turn, is located in the northernmost segment of the Dead Sea Rift, part of the Great African Rift System. This region is an integral part of the “Levantine Corridor,” a land bridge connecting Africa and Europe, through which the diffusion and biotic exchange of many organisms took place in prehistoric times. The Hula Valley has preserved data of a phenomenon of great importance in human history: archaeological evidence recording hominin diffusion/migration out of Africa and into Eurasia. The unique sedimentological and hydrological conditions prevailing in the Hula, along with extensive and intensive tectonic activ…
Les Hypogées d'Arles-Fontvieille et leur environnement : nouvelles perceptions, nouvelles perspectives
2014
Due to their unique architecture and the exceptional dimensions of the largest monument in the group, the Arles-Fontvieille hypogea are among the most remarkable megalithic monuments in Europe and the western Mediterranean region. A collective research program was launched in 2013 to study these well-known monuments which have, paradoxically, been the subject of relatively few field studies since the 19th century. The research program consisted of an inventory and analysis of the grave goods and associated artefacts, as well as a number of field studies providing an improved archaeological context of a megalithic group too often thought of only in terms of funerary monuments. Various traces…
