Conclusion. L’habitat de hauteur entre Protohistoire et haut Moyen Âge : pour une approche diachronique

2023

Au travers de ces quelques contributions, ce dossier entend proposer de nouvelles perspectives pour l’approche des occupations de hauteur, en prônant notamment une collaboration plus étroite entre spécialistes des âges des Métaux et de l’Antiquité tardive et du haut Moyen Âge. Cette coopération peut se traduire d’une part à l’échelle des sites, lorsque l’occasion se présente, d’autre part à l’échelle de territoires plus ou moins vastes afin de mettre en évidence l’existence de logiques spatia...

Introduction. L’habitat de hauteur entre Protohistoire et haut Moyen Âge : regards croisés

2023

L’étude des sites de hauteur est aujourd’hui une thématique largement mise à l’honneur par la recherche archéologique. En témoignent les publications collectives et manifestations scientifiques récentes sur le sujet, en particulier pour les âges des Métaux ainsi que pour l’Antiquité tardive et le haut Moyen Âge, périodes au cours desquelles cette forme d’occupation du sol tient une place particulière (pour les publications récentes sur le sujet, voir, entre autres, Delrieu, Furestier, 2018 ; ...

The Pratz le Curtillet settlement

2016

Among the earliest habitats of the early Middle Ages studied in Franche-Comté, the Pratz le Curtillet a settlement sets itself apart by its location in the Jura highlands, renowned for its remoteness and inhospitable landscapes. On the Lizon plateau, the scope of the archaeological work explored on the 16 hectares and the quality of the remains still constitute an exceptional complex today. An imposing 16m by 13m stone building flanked by an annex forms the residential part of the estate, while sheltering fodder and livestock, while the second building houses a forge. Domestic and artisanal equipment provide ample documentation on the living conditions of this small community of high status…

Autour du paon et du phénix : étude d'une iconographie cultuelle et funéraire dans le Bassin méditerranéen (IVe-XIIe siècle)

2017

This dissertation deals with the meaning of the peacock and the phoenix within contexts of worship and funerary contexts in the Mediterranean area, between the IVth and the XIIth centuries. The study is based on an iconographic documentation meeting 490 items of the peacock and 68 items of the phoenix. These birds were imaged in various ways as well as coins, paintings of catacombs, sarcophagi, mosaics (pavements, domes, apses, …), manuscripts, and even chancel screens. The analysis of the documentation indicates that links were weaved between both birds associated with the idea of revival long before the IVth century. The idea of revival, indeed, is a cross-cutting concept in the study of …

The Harvesting Memories Project: Historical ecology and landscape changes of the Sicani Mountains in Sicily

2022

The Harvesting Memories project aims to investigate the historical landscape dynamics in an inner area of the Sicani Mountains district in Western Sicily (Contrada Castro, Corleone-Palermo). The interdisciplinary approach of the project allowed us to combine and integrate methods from different disciplines such as historical ecology, landscape archaeology, archaeobotany and GIS-based spatial analysis. In this paper some results have been summarized. The comparison between land mosaic change during the last 60 years, the relationship between site catchment area and land suitability and the correlation between archaeobotanical and phytosociological data. This approach underlined the relevance…

Cernay-lès-Reims (Marne). Cernay-lès-Reims « le Bas de la Noue Saint Rémy » zone 9 [notice archéologique]

2019

Localisée en limite SE de l’agglomération rémoise, sur la commune de Cernay-les-Reims, l’emprise de l’opération porte sur une surface de 11 300 m2. Cette neuvième concentration de vestiges, fouillée sur un parc d’activité, correspond à un établissement rural de l’Antiquité tardive, prolongé à l’époque médiévale par une zone d’activité artisanale. Ces deux occupations se développent le long d’un axe de circulation qui perdure vraisemblablement de l’Antiquité à la première guerre mondiale.

Visualizing linguistic variation in a network of Latin documents and scribes

2018

This article explores whether and how network visualization can benefit philological and historical-linguistic study. This is illustrated with a corpus-based investigation of scribes' language use in a lemmatized and morphologically annotated corpus of documentary Latin (Late Latin Charter Treebank, LLCT2). We extract four continuous linguistic variables from LLCT2 and utilize a gradient colour palette in Gephi to visualize the variable values as node attributes in a trimodal network which consists of the documents, writers, and writing locations underlying the same corpus. We call this network the "LLCT2 network". The geographical coordinates of the location nodes form an approximate map, …
