  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.

  Dairy produce in the Mediterranean in the Middle Ages and Modern period: production, sales and consumption

  Contrairement aux périodes préhistoriques pour lesquelles la question des débuts de la consommation des produits laitiers animaux est fondamentale et suscite de nombreuses recherches, rares sont celles consacrées à la production et à la consommation de ces produits aux périodes médiévales et modernes. Pourtant, les produits laitiers, et particulièrement les fromages, sont des composants clefs de l’alimentation méditerranéenne. Produits issus des terroirs dont les spécificités en font le goût, ils sont commercialisés tant à l’échelle locale et régionale qu’internationale.

  Lakes, swamps and deltas in Provence - occupation, exploitation and the management of marshland from Antiquity to the present day

  Occupation, exploitation et gestion des milieux palustres de l’Antiquité à nos jours

  Le soixantième congrès de la Fédération historique de Provence, qui se déroulera à Saint-Tropez les 4 et 5 novembre 2016, abordera les relations complexes que les sociétés humaines ont entretenu avec les étangs, les marais et les deltas en Provence de l’Antiquité à nos jours. Bien que souvent perçus comme répulsifs, les milieux palustres ont longtemps été essentiels à la vie de beaucoup de communautés provençales du fait des ressources naturelles disponibles. Si ces liens ont déjà fait l’objet de travaux, des interrogations persistent au sujet de la dynamique de ces espaces, particulièrement pour l’arrière-pays.

  Dairy products in Medieval and post-medieval Mediterranean countries: production, trade, consumption

  Contrasting with the Prehistory for which the question of the beginning of the consumption of dairy products is of critical importance, few studies are devoted to the production and consumption of these products during medieval and post-medieval periods. However, dairy products, especially cheese, are key components of the Mediterranean diet. Sometimes disregarded, sometimes recommended by dieticians, the latter are traded both at local and international scale. Therefore it seems necessary to organize a workshop on "Dairy products in Medieval and post-medieval Mediterranean countries: production, trade, consumption".
