Quantitative approaches for evaluating the influence of films using the IMDb database
2016
[EN] Why do films certain remain influential throughout film history? The purpose of this paper is to attempt to answer this question.

Approches quantitatives de la production de fer sur le site hallstattien de Bragny-sur-Saône (Saône-et-Loire)

The corpus consists of 608 artefacts. We established a typology allowing us to present a chronological and spatial distribution of each type. We then tried to determine the functions of the knives according to their type and their length. For those discovered in graves other objects in the grave assemblage were used as an additional criterion. When the funerary context was very clearly defined, we tried to determine the function, in the grave itself, of the knives.
