  Ethnology and prehistory: or the construction of a general sociology

  Tribute to Alain Testart

  Ce colloque est organisé en l'hommage de l’anthropologue Alain Testart, décédé en 2013. Tout au long de son œuvre, il a jeté de nombreuses passerelles entre l’anthropologie, l’archéologie et l’histoire. Il a renouvelé la réflexion sur la place de l’économie, du politique, du juridique, du religieux et des rapports sociaux.

  Water Management in the Mediterranean during the 1st Millennium BC

  IIIe symposium international HYDRΩMED

  The aim of the meeting is to compare the different modes of adaptation of the Ancient Mediterranean populations to the environmental resources, especially their hydric resources. In a climate marked by unequal distribution of water, the ancient societies, whether Phoenician-Punic, Greek or Etruscan, responded in different ways to the various situations, let alone the hydric crises which may have affected them. The meeting will associate systemic theoretical reflections as well as case studies on ancient sites, to outline the mutations and the permanencies, the possible technological transfers from one society to another. Here, as in other fields of human activity, we shall query the existence of an ancient Mediterranean koine around the knowledge and the technical practices, around the cultural and cultural traditions. The chronology considered runs from the 8^th to the 1^st century BC, i.e. before the diffusion of the Roman models and techniques.
