    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.

    Conference, symposium - Science studies

    Archaeology and media: what is at stake ?

    Ce colloque est l’occasion de faire le point sur les représentations de l’archéologue et de l’archéologie dans les médias. L’analyse de la presse écrite et audiovisuelle (radio, cinéma, documentaire) et de la littérature (roman, bande dessinée, etc.) seront autant d’axes pour comprendre la perception de l’archéologue dans notre société, dans les supports médiatiques en eux-mêmes ou auprès des publics qui reçoivent ces discours. Deux perspectives sont principalement envisagées : les fictions et les médias vulgarisateurs, même si des ponts peuvent évidemment être établis entre les deux.
