Morphometry of Middle Bronze Age palstaves by discrete cosine transform.

2009

9 pages; International audience; The Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is a Fourier-related transform widely used in signal processing and well suited to the analysis of open outlines. This method was applied here to evaluate the discrimination power of the inner lateral rib for two palstave populations dating from the Middle Bronze Age, excavated in northwest France. A corpus of almost 400 palstaves (bronze axes) of the Breton and Norman types was processed, and compared to specimens found at Sermizelles in Burgundy. The procedure is robust and produces a discrimination in good agreement with the traditional typology. Besides the definition of a ‘standard' shape for each population, the morp…

Inland harbours in Central Europe:: Junctions between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean Sea

2016

The international symposium organized in Dijon offers a structural and diachronic comparative analysis of the harbours networks on inland waterbodies. Its goals are the study of the harbours settled on lakes or rivers as a complex phenomenon, and the assessment of their respective significance as hubs in the communication and exchange network between Mediterranean Sea and Northern Europe.These two days gather German, French and European researchers from the different fields required on such a research problem (history, archaeology,geography, palaeoenvironmental analysis, geomatics), in the aim to present recent discoveries and results.The present book contains the 27 abstracts in three lang…

Le Moyen Âge vu d'ailleurs : voix croisées d'Amérique latine et d'Europe

2010

Entre 2002 et 2006, le programme Le Moyen Âge vu d'ailleurs a réuni des médiévistes européens et latino-américains, au cours de quatre rencontres qui se sont déroulées à Auxerre (2002), São Paulo (2003), Madrid (2005) et Buenos Aires (2006). Dans un contexte de relative méconnaissance en Europe de ce qui se fait dans la médiévistique latino-américaine, il s'agissait alors de stimuler les échanges entre des jeunes chercheurs et des chercheurs confirmés autour de l'actualité d'une recherche multiple en train de se construire. Il s'agissait aussi de dresser le bilan des tendances historiographiques de ces dernières années dans les différents pays : Argentine, Brésil, Chili, Espagne, France et …

The dry stone wall of 'Paretone dei Greci': an anthracological approach

2011

International audience; Dry stone constructions are a common occurrence in many Mediterranean landscapes. One of these structures known as "Paretone dei Greci" (Taranto, Southern Italy), was subject to an archaeological investigation. Soil and sediment material within this wall, as well as those above and below it, were sampled and processed for archaeobotanical studies. In this manner it was possible to understand its building technique as well as giving it a chronological context. Through an anthracological analysis it was possible to insert the "Paretone" within the surrounding agricultural landscape, thus better highlighting its function in relation to the history of the territory

Plaques-boucles byzantines et apparentées de la période VIe-VIIe siècle trouvées en France

2014

The paper provides an inventory of buckle plates thought to be Byzantine found in France : the Sucidava type and its offshoots, those with an openwork cross or in the form of a cross, the family of buckle plates in the shapes of lyres or tongues, and a few individual pieces. Relatively numerous, these sartorial accessories enjoyed a popularity that has ensured their recognition locally even today.
