  History of measuring and calculations in archaeology

  In archaeology, quantitative approaches have a long tradition and belong to the very core of the discipline. However, the history of quantitative archaeological reasoning might be not as straight forward as suggested by the disciplinary history commonlys hared among archaeologists. Taken into account different social interests and traditions we doubt the narrative of linear methodological and technical progress, especially considering to a certain extent alternative developments of quantitative approaches inblocks of countries somewhat separated by language barriers. Different communities assign different roles and functions to quantitative procedures applied in archaeology. This session aims to explore the multitude of factors that determine the development ofquantitative archaeology.

  Archéologie et photographie

  Les pratiques antiquaires, dans leur ensemble, ont depuis leurs origines, nécessité le recours à la description iconographique pour archiver, inventorier et classifier les productions matérielles du passé. Le croquis, le dessin, l’estampage, la photographie ont ainsi accompagné la diffusion du savoir archéologique et entraîné une mutation des pratiques exploratoires, dont les méthodes ont mis des siècles à se mettre en place, pour arriver a la création d’une discipline archéologique structurée. À cet égard, l’archéologie, en tant que science moderne, s’est en grande partie fondée sur ce système d’enregistrement des données, faisant passer l’homme de terrain d’un simple chercheur de trésor à « l’homo archeologicus » (A.Schnapp). C’est donc cette volonté d’archivage visuelle qui a permis de poser les fondements d’une approche de plus en plus précise et rationnelle des vestiges archéologiques, en explorant leurs natures, leurs formes, leur chronologie et leur contexte de production.

  The Middle Ages of the Social Sciences

  The present issue of the Revue d’histoire des sciences humaines intends to gather inquiries into specific uses of the Middle Ages in twentieth century social sciences. The reference to the Middle Ages may result from a scholarly acquaintance with the medieval world, as well as from tools forged by medieval studies. Alternatively, it may be correlated with intricate cultural mediations, for example through religion or literature. We would like to invite the practitioners of the various disciplines of the SSH (psychoanalysis, sociology, historical anthropology, history, the history of science and knowledge, art history, and philosophy, among others) to contribute to this issue either with a case study, or with a broader methodological or epistemological reflection on their scientific and knowledge practices envisioned from an historical point of view.
