"Hydraulic" mortars in the Ancient Mediterranean - 4th HYDROMED symposium
IV symposium international HYDRΩMED
Les mortiers imperméables sont des composantes importantes, parfois incontournables, dans la construction et l’entretien de la plupart des aménagements hydrauliques. Ils sont ainsi liés aux développements des techniques de gestion de l’eau, mais aussi de l’architecture dans un sens plus large. Ces mortiers sont, pourtant, archéologiquement méconnus. Dans le cadre du projet « HYDRΩMED - La gestion des ressources hydrauliques en Méditerranée au 1er millénaire avant notre ère » nous réfléchirons sur plusieurs questions sur l’utilisation, composition et terminologie autour des mortiers dits « hydrauliques ».

Precious metals in the medieval Mediterranean
Mining, processing and circulations
Silver on one side, gold on the other? The medieval Mediterranean was an area in which precious metals were produced and circulated, intertwining three worlds, both friends and foes: Roman Christianity to the West, byzantine Christianity to the East, and Islam to the South. Precious metals (gold, silver, copper and lead), at the origin of numerous objects of the material culture and currencies used by the economies, filled the societies. They were mined, processed, commercialised, controlled and hoarded by a wide variety of stakeholders and institutions, from simple peasants to emperors.
