  Landscape archaeology. Egypt and th Mediterranean world

  Le colloque international de géoarchéologie du Caire sera consacré à l’Égypte, et de manière plus générale à l’espace méditerranéen. Dans l’optique de l’étude des relations homme / environnement, cette réunion scientifique s’intéresse aux dynamiques du Nil, axe majeur du paysage égyptien, et leurs conséquences sur les espaces périphériques (littoraux, plaines alluviales, déserts, wadis tributaires). La thématique est élargie à l’ensemble des milieux méditerranéens afin de proposer des exemples complémentaires à ceux du territoire égyptien.
