Hirnantian glacial and deglacial record in SW Djado Basin (NE Niger).

2007

Pluridisciplinary fieldwork highlights features generated by an extended ice-sheet in the Djado Basin during the Hirnantian. Two glacial palaeovalley systems associated with glacial pavements and separated by thin glaciomarine interstadial series are revealed. Rigid glacial pavements characterised by abrasion erosion are differentiated from soft glacial pavements characterised by soft-bed deformation. Glacial pavements are associated with subglacial bedforms such as megaflutes, flutes and meltwater channels. They are also associated with clastic dykes and glaciotectonic structures such as deformed flutes, subglacial folds and duplex structures. This record demonstrates that ice was warm-bas…

Relationships between societies and their environment in the Sahel in southwestern Niger over the past four thousand years : a geoarchaeological appr…

2013

The Sahel, a zone between the Sahara Desert and the Sudan forests, is currently experiencing major environmental changes. Since the droughts in 1970s and 1980s, and with the high population growth rate, vegetation cover has deteriorated considerably, contributing to increased runoff and soil erosion. Starting from this observation, we undertook the study of past societies in the Niamey region, to assess their impact on the environment. The lack of archaeological data meant that it was necessary to identify key indicators of occupation during the Neolithic and the Iron Age. In addition to providing new evidence to date the Neolithic site of Kirkissoy, a sedimentary study was conducted on a p…

Découverte d'un pied antique en forme de sphinge, à proximité de Chalon-sur-Saône (Saône-et-Loire)

2010

A figurative element made out of bronze was discovered in a 2008 evaluation at Fragnes (Saône-et-Loire) near to Chalon-sur-Saône. This very original element was discovered in an untypical context. It is the foot of a vessel in the form of a sphinx with a lion's paw. Even though objects with decorated feet and in particular lion's paws are well known of, the use of the sphinx iconography is rare and even unique in Gaul during this period

Les minières de silex néolithiques des marais de Saint-Gond (Marne)

2014

In the southern and eastern area of the Côte d’Île-de-France, north of the marshes of Saint-Gond (Marne, France), research incorporating a great deal of unpublished documentation, and the results of pedestrian and aerial surveys, has highlighted five flint mines. For various reasons, the many indications of mining activity in this region have never been considered sufficient to consider it a mining area, however, the combination of a series of objective observations suggests the existence of five flint mines.In several sites, flint mining was conducted from shafts several metres deep, sometimes connected by galleries. As many archaeological discoveries made during the earlier excavations ha…

Les agglomérations antiques du Val de Saône : émergence et mutations d’un réseau urbain de la fin de l’âge du Fer au début du Moyen Âge

2019

The aim of this thesis is to study the processes of emergence, structuring and mutation of an ancient urban network from the end of the Protohistory to the beginning of the Middle Ages in a micro-region located on the edge of the ancient éduens, lingons and séquanes territories, the Saône Valley. This area is characterized by a density of Gallo-Roman small towns with an amount and a high quality of data unequalled in Gaul, as a result of ancient and recent research. While these small towns were among the first studied in the 1980’s, their exploitation was limited to the study of hierarchies and urban functions during the High Empire, neglecting the chronology and the evolution of the urban …

L’observatoire de la transition socio-écologique en Franche-Comté. Une référence pour l’Observatoire « Drââ » de la Province de Ouarzazate

2018

This paper presents the principles, method and main results of the Observatory of the Socio-Ecological Transition in Franche-Comté (OTSE-fc). The latter is currently used as a reference for the development of the Drâa observatory of the Province of Ouarzazate as part of the CNRS-CNRST scientific cooperation project 2015-2016. At the request of the participants of the workshop, we also summarized the progress of the territorial diagnosis of the Province of Ouarzazate, which constitutes the basis of the Drââ Observatory. The advances concern a diagnosis carried out among 1650 inhabitants of the province, its main quantitative results and a first exploitation of a qualitative analysis exposing…

La Sicilia dei centri minori: Above the clouds nella Valle di Bolognetta : architettura, arti performative e nuovi immaginari

2021

Il lavoro elaborato dal Gruppo di ricerca LabCity Architecture sulla rigenerazione dei piccoli centri rurali del territorio siciliano, vittime della crisi economica e demografica di quest’ultimo decennio, evidenzia l’urgenza di un ripensamento delle strategie di intervento in questi luoghi con forti potenzialità territoriali, patrimoniali e culturali, proponendo progetti di ricerca-azione in sinergia con le comunità locali coinvolte. La recente emergenza sanitaria causata dalla pandemia da Covid-19 ha evidenziato l’esigenza di una ricerca mirata ad individuare i caratteri e le esigenze specifiche soprattutto dei centri minori, destinatari di politiche e di interventi spesso inadeguati. In q…
