  Late Antiquity in the north-western half of the Arabian peninsula: material culture, chronology, exchanges and territorial entities

  PhD fellowhip Labex Dynamite 2014-2015

  The very quick recent development of archaeological and epigraphic work in Saudi Arabia brought deep changes in our knowledge of the Arabian Peninsula — which until the middle of the 2000's was only based on research on the periphery: Kuwait, Bahrayn, Qatar, The Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. That development reveals how wide the gaps are, of the interpretative frame in particular, for broad geo-historical segments. That is true especially for what is generally called Late Antiquity (4th- early 7th centuries AD), and here "Late Pre-Islamic" or even in local religious terms jâhîliyah, "ignorance" — a term which actually reflects correctly the state of knowledge. The amount of data collected within less than ten years within a large North-Western half of the Peninsula makes possible to see that except for the extreme North (current Joradanian border and Jawf Oasis) the Christianity does not penetrate and Byzantiums unifying power is absent. One is even unable to name what the field teams are dealing with. The proposed doctoral work must produce the state of that question, for which there if a rich evidence in stratigraphy, architecture, objects, and even epigraphy due to the recent demonstration of the Nabataean-Arabic continuum. The comparison with the Byzantine and christianized areas of the extreme North must be one of the leading strands but no way the only one, since the heart of the subject lyes, on the contrary, in the currently unnamed culture(s) of the Peninsula itself.

  Analysing the spaces of transition

  Interdisciplinary dialogue around zones of rupture and crossing

  L’atelier doctoral s’inscrit dans le programme ANR-Détroit, dont le titre exact est Le détroit de Gibraltar, à la croisée des mers et des continents (époque ancienne et médiévale). Il ne s’agit nullement dans le cadre de cet atelier de formation doctorale de se focaliser sur cette aire spécifique à l’extrémité de la Méditerranée, mais au contraire de s’ouvrir à tous les espaces géographiques où s’inscrit soit une disjonction naturelle, une contrainte topographique, soit une limite artificielle qui conditionnent la vie et surtout la mobilité humaine. Seront donc interrogés non seulement des espaces naturels tels les bras de mer/détroit, les zones de marais, les massifs montagneux ou les déserts, mais aussi des lignes frontières (délimitations politique, administrative, militaire ou religieuse qui font obstacle), en interaction avec les communautés humaines installées à l’intérieur, de part et d’autre ou à proximité, et les populations de passage.
