    Water Management in the Mediterranean during the 1st Millennium BC

    IIIe symposium international HYDRΩMED

    The aim of the meeting is to compare the different modes of adaptation of the Ancient Mediterranean populations to the environmental resources, especially their hydric resources. In a climate marked by unequal distribution of water, the ancient societies, whether Phoenician-Punic, Greek or Etruscan, responded in different ways to the various situations, let alone the hydric crises which may have affected them. The meeting will associate systemic theoretical reflections as well as case studies on ancient sites, to outline the mutations and the permanencies, the possible technological transfers from one society to another. Here, as in other fields of human activity, we shall query the existence of an ancient Mediterranean koine around the knowledge and the technical practices, around the cultural and cultural traditions. The chronology considered runs from the 8th to the 1st century BC, i.e. before the diffusion of the Roman models and techniques.

    Conference, symposium - Prehistory and Antiquity

    From religion to sanctuaries. Religious architecture in Roman and Byzantium Africa

    En 2000, le Groupe de Recherche (GDR) « Cultes et sanctuaires de l’Afrique romaine et byzantine » réunissait pour quatre ans sous la direction de François Baratte des équipes de chercheurs travaillant sur l’Afrique antique, plus particulièrement sur l’actuelle Tunisie. Il nous a donc paru souhaitable, plus de dix ans après l’achèvement du GDR, de réunir les acteurs principaux de ces études en les invitant à confronter leurs points de vue sur la question des rites, de l’organisation du culte ou des édifices. Parmi les questions qu’il sera souhaitable d’aborder citons, à titre d’exemple les formes pré-romaines des sanctuaires et leur survie après la conquête, les spécificités des cultes africains, la permanence des sanctuaires païens après la christianisation de l’Afrique, la réutilisation des lieux de culte païens, les traces archéologiques des conflits entre catholiques et donatistes, les spécificités byzantines de l’architecture chrétienne d’Afrique.
