Human Remains & Waste Spaces from Prehistory to the Present Day
In both modern and archaeological contexts, many human remains are uncovered from structures that contain waste (such as broken pottery, food waste, and so on). These depositions are probably not merely evidence of a simple abandonment, or of depriving somebody of a grave. They are often associated with a deliberate intention to consider the body negatively –in whole or in part–, or to liken it to a piece of rubbish. For what reasons is this done? Where, when, and in what contexts do we find these depositions? Denying somebody a funeral seems in some cases a double outrage. Is this the case always and everywhere? How, by whom and why are some individuals deliberately thrown into rubbish dumps or landfill sites? Who are these individuals? Interpreting these configurations—whether they arise from archaeological or forensic discoveries –is always difficult, and has up until now impeded a wider understanding of this phenomenon.

For an archaeology of prehistoric cave paintings - roundtable
Table-Ronde
A l’heure où de nouveaux outils d’analyse s’offrent aux pariétalistes, nous souhaitons dans le cadre de ces deux demi-journées d’étude nous interroger tant sur les concepts que sur les attitudes employés à l’analyse des images rupestres préhistoriques, ainsi que sur les méthodes en notre possession pour leur redonner un sens et une dimension anthropologique. Il ne sera pas question des méthodes de relevé mais des étapes postérieures à l’établissement de la documentation.

Languages, writing and communication - Arbois round tables
Les tables rondes de l’Arbois
Pendant deux jours, ces femmes et hommes de sciences tenteront d'expliquer ce que nous réserve le monde de demain sur la thématique « Langages, écritures et communication ». Comment le langage intervient dans notre évolution biologique ? Comment la naissance de l'écriture devient une combinaison aléatoire de deux modes de communication complémentaires que sont l'image et la langue ? Des réflexions autour du passé qui permettent de mieux comprendre le présent, influencé par les innovations techniques, qui modifient nos moyens modernes de communication, et la puissance de l'image virtuelle, qui vient enrichir l'expression du réel.

Conference, symposium - History
Climate and Societies in the Mediterranean during the Last Two Millennia
Current State Of Knowledge and Research Perspectives
This two-day international conference aims to highlight recent and challenging interdisciplinary studies dealing with complex historical climate/society interactions in Mediterranean during the last two millennia. The study of these existing connections can help in better understanding the role played by past climatic events in the eruption of regional conflicts, in forced migration and displacement of people, in periodically appearing infectious disease outbreaks or in subsistence crises like food shortages and famines Similarly, it seems necessary to identify and analyze socio-economic and technological responses (e.g. water supply systems) together with mitigation and general adaptation strategies, insofar as they existed, to cope with climate change.
