  Paysages d'Orient et de Méditerranée

  Une étude comparée de la description des lieux dans le discours géographique antique

  Ce projet d’étude « Paysages d’Orient et de Méditerranée » est organisé sur cinq ateliers de travail. Il cherche à s’intéresser aux descriptions des lieux dans les discours géographiques de la littérature antique, en se proposant de mettre en parallèle monde méditerranéen et extra-méditerranéen. Nous voudrions, avec ces ateliers, mieux comprendre les principes et la finalité de la description des lieux dans la « géographie » antique. Chaque journée comprendra la présentation de quatre dossiers documentaires (deux pour le monde méditerranée, deux pour l’Orient), complétée par le regard d’un géographe. Les cinq journées nous permettront d’approcher différents types de paysages : fluviaux, côtiers, urbains, montagnes et confins. La première partie portera sur les littoraux.

  From the Caucasus to the Arabian Peninsula: studying domestic spaces in the Neolithic

  Under neolithisation scholars understand multiple processes of social and economic transformation which begin at different times and follow regional trends in the Near and Middle East. It is within the complex relational and spatial framework of the household that these shifts in the structure and activities of Neolithic communities are easiest to apprehend and study. The conference will therefore focus on the domestic sphere in order to highlight and understand the polymorphous nature of what we call neolithisation. Various thematic sessions will be held to shed new light on current data: “Impacts of the shift to a sedentary/semi-sedentary lifestyle”; “Organising the house and the household”; “Private space/public space”; “Acquisition, production, transformation and use”; “Eating-Moving”; “Symbolic manifestations”;“The living and the dead”.

  Geoarchaeological research in the Black Sea and the Azov Sea

  Since the first studies undertaken in 1783 by Gablitz on the chora of Chersonesos, the Black Sea comprises an important area to look at the rural and coastal development of the Greek colonial world. Systematic surveying of ditches and walls that line the western coast of Crimea, initiated within the framework of Catherine II’s Greek project, began several decades before the earliest excavations of the urban spaces in 1832. A decisive new step was made during the 1960s, when archaeological surveys provided fresh insights into the internal organization of several kleroi close to Chersonesos, Kerkinitis and Kalos Limen. Around the same time, in the western Black Sea, the first research on the territory of Istros began, complemented by numerous geomorphological studies of the neighbouring Danube Delta. The foundations of geoarchaeological inquiry had been laid, and these have since been added to thanks to recent research undertaken throughout the Pontic area.
