Full textAbstract:
ICARO (Innovative Cardboard ARchitectural Object) is a type of innovative building technology developed by a working group at the University of Catania, within the framework of the EWAS (an Early WArning System for cultural heritage) research project. It represents a tool for used to combat climate change thanks to the high level of sustainability of its component. The modular component based on ICARO technology is a pre-fabricated panel for building vertical envelopes, consisting of a laminated wood frame that contains corrugated cardboard boxes. In order to improve the panel’s structural performance, a pre-stress procedure has been adopted. The panel is cost-effective and boasts a high level of sustainability thanks to the use of lightweight, pre-cast, recycled, and recyclable materials. This technology is suitable for the construction of micro-architecture in fragile contexts. In order to test its performance, a full-scale prototype called the EP (Experience Pavilion) was built within the Megara Hyblea archaeological area in Sicily, which was chosen as a test site. A campaign to be carried out at the EP is currently being planned, which will focus on various issues. This paper describes the design of ICARO technology and the construction of the EP prototype.

Cet article a pour objet une série de cratères de Mégara Hyblaea datés de la fin du VIIIe s. et du VIIe s. av. J.-C. étudiés par H. Tréziny dans les années 1970. Il avait notamment étudié la question d’un lieu de fabrication local ou attique de ces cratères et envisagé une origine de cette forme dans la métropole Megara Nisaia, trois pistes de recherche sur lesquelles nous revenons ici grâce à de nouvelles données. C’est également l’occasion de souligner l’importance du travail d’H. Tréziny pour l’étude des céramiques à Mégara Hyblaea. This paper discusses a series of kraters from Mégara Hyblaea, dated to the end of the 8th and 7th centuries BCE and studied by H. Tréziny in the 1970s. In the light of recent data, three of his research hypotheses concerning the origin of those vases will be reconsidered: they might be local, from Attica, or even from the mother-city Megara Nisaia. The major contribution of Henri Tréziny to the study of ceramics at Mégara Hyblaea will also be highlighted.

Full textAbstract:
The present research aims at revitalising the archaeological park of Megara Hyblaea through innovative strategies developed within the PON project “An early warning system for cultural heritage/e-WAS”. In this project Sicilian research institutions, universities and companies pursue the common goal of developing new technologies for the protection, enhancement and strategic management of the historical and cultural heritage. The ancient Greek colony of Megara Hyblaea is immersed in an industrial landscape that stretches along the coast of eastern Sicily from Augusta to Syracuse. The sense of the original place has been obliterated by an indiscriminate occupation of the land by industries which have left, here and there, an archipelago of “patrimonial wrecks”, which are equally close to the smelly chimneys and the horizon of the sea. This landscape of contrasts, dominated by petrochemical industries, has over time hindered a cultural tourism appropriate to the representativeness and importance of the asset, despite the efforts made by the authorities responsible for its protection. The paper demonstrates the need for a holistic approach to the revitalisation project of the archaeological site: the strategic design, understood as the story of the overlapping of “invisible cities”, aims to reorganise and re-conquer places through a new narrative coherent with hidden values, going as far as the experimentation of innovative technologies for the creation of facilities for the enjoyment of the park.

Full textAbstract:
About the mid-seventh century, polychrome styles of vase painting appeared in five different Greek wares, and in a sixth ware a short time after. By polychrome here is meant the use of a light brown or reddish brown paint for male flesh in human figure scenes, to go with the normal colours found on seventh-century Greek vases, black, red and white. The use of this light brown or reddish brown paint may have begun a little earlier, e.g. for parts of animals, but it would be confusing to call this partial polychrome and to regard this as a preliminary step towards the distinctive use of brown for male human flesh. The six wares in which polychrome vases appear are Protocorinthian, Protoattic, Argive, Naxian, ‘Melian’ (likely from Paros), and a ware found at Megara Hyblaea. Except for ‘Melian’ polychrome which continues to the end of the seventh or early sixth century, each of these polychrome styles flourishes for a brief time and then disappears.

Full textAbstract:
The present research shows some results obtained by the PON project entitled "An early warning system for cultural heritage / EWAS". In this national funded project, Sicilian research institutions, universities and companies work together with the common goal of developing new technologies for the protection and enhancement of historical and cultural heritage and also aim to improve its strategic management and protect it from risks. With a view to pursuing the primary objectives of the EWAS project, it was planned to realize two full-scale prototypes. The first one is a lightweight shelter, the second one is a micro-architecture for facilities. They are able to reduce the environmental impact, they are responsive and they are designed to protect the sensitive areas of the excavations and at the same time to facilitate the use of the archaeological site. In order to test these prototypes, the archaeological area of Megara Hyblaea has been chosen, the most ancient Greek colony in Sicily. It is immersed in an industrial landscape that stretches along the coast of eastern Sicily from Augusta to Syracuse. The sense of the original place has been erased by an indiscriminate occupation of the land by industries which has left, here and there, an archipelago of "heritage relics" of various kinds, which are equally close to the smelly chimneys and the horizon of the sea. This landscape of contrasts, dominated by petrochemical industries, has over time hindered a cultural tourism appropriate to the representativeness and importance of the findings, despite the efforts made by the authorities responsible for its protection.

Full textAbstract:
Les villes grecques coloniales de sicile et d'italie meridionale permettent de poser plus clairement qu'en grece propre le probleme de l'apparition des fortifications urbaines. Les fouilles menees entr1978 et 1983 sur l'enceinte meridionale de megara hyblaea ont montre que la fortification presentait plusieurs phrases. La derniere se date sans doute de l'extreme fin de l'epoque archaique, peu avant483 ; mais plusieurs phrases de construction s'echelonnent dans le cours du vie s. Et la plus ancienne (dont on connait surtout le fosse meridional) est surement anterieure a 600 av j-c l'etude architecturale des secteurs ouest et nord, anciennement fouilles par f. S. Cavallari et p. Orsi, puis g. Vallet et fr. Villard, confirme cette multiplicite des phrases, que l'on retrouve dans d'autres enceintes siciliennes (leontinoi). Pour l'essentiel, il s'agit d'une fortification a terre-plein, retenue par un mur a parement incline , communement appelee agger. L'etude du plan d'urbanisme et du trace des rues montre que la ville est en place des la fin du viiie s et suggere que la fortification, qui joue le role de limite entre l'espace urbain et les necropoles, pourrait remonter aux origines de la ville. Une annexe sur la ville hellenistique montre que la reconstruction de la ville a la fin du ive s. N'a affecte que le quart nord-est de la ville archaique: ce premier habitat hellenistique etait deja defendu par une fortification; la muraille actuellement visible appartient a un deuxieme etat de la ville, dans le courant du iiie s. Mais l'enceinte archaique n'a jamais joue de role dans la defense de l'habitat hellenistiqueGreek colonial cities of sicily and south italy allow us to put more clearly than in ccontinental greece the problem of the appearance of urban fortifications. The excavations made in the period 1978-1983 on the southern walls of megara hyblaea have shown that were several phases. The last one is probably to date at the end of the archaic period, few years before the destruction in 483. But there are several construction phrases during the vith century. The first one is in a very bad state of conservation, but (from the filling of the ditch) it must be dated before 600. Tha architectural study of the west and north walls (old excavations by cavallari-orsi and vallet-villard) confirms that there are several construction phrases. To the same conclusion leads the study of other circuits (leontinoi). The wall is of the agger type, with an oblique front-wall. Studying the urbanistic grid and the orientation of the streets, it is clear that the city is well organized as soon as the endof the viiith cent. The first fortification, that has the function of a limit between town and necropolis, can be as old as the city itself. The reconstruction of the city in hellenistic times covers only the north east quarter of the archaic town. This first hellenistic town (end of the ivth century) was soon protected by a city-wall. But the great wall that we can see now is a reconstruction of the circuit (and paertly of the city itself) in the iiird century, anyway,the old archaic circuit does not have any function in the hellenistic defensive system

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse propose l'étude et l'analyse d'un corpus, majoritairement, inédit de fragments de vases à figures rouges sicéliotes, décorés de scènes liées à la sphère de Dionysos et d'Aphrodite. Ces fragments sont datés de la seconde moitié du IVe siècle av. J.-C. et proviennent, probablement, du secteur de l'agora de Mégara Hyblaea, une ancienne colonie grecque située en Sicile Orientale. Cette cité a été redécouverte grâce aux fouilles menées par G. Vallet et Fr. Villard entre 1949 et 1978. Suite à sa découverte, Mégara Hyblaea a été l'objet de nombreuses campagnes de fouilles, d'études et de publications qui se sont centrées notamment sur la question des fondations de la cité et sur sa phase archaïque. Au cours des derniers programmes d'études de l'Ecole française de Rome, ont été relancées les recherches concernant le matériel post-archaïque de la cité. Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le cadre de ces programmes ainsi que la collaboration scientifique, établie en 2019, entre l'EfR et le Centre Jean Bérard de Naples (collaboration qui poursuit l'étude de la sélection du matériel réalisée par Fr. Villard). L'objectif de cette thèse est, dans un premier temps, de mesurer l'apport de l'étude du corpus à l'histoire de Mégara au cours de la deuxième moitié du IVe siècle av. J.-C. Dans un second temps, on essaie de contribuer au travail de révision de la production de vases à figures rouges sicéliotes, notamment la révision de l'organisation des différents groupes proposée par A.D. Trendall ainsi que leur datation. Nous cherchons aussi à établir quelques pistes de réflexion sur l'histoire de la fin de la production des figures rouges en Sicile. Pour mener à bien ce projet, le corpus est soumis à une analyse complète - forme du vase, type, iconographie, style, observations préliminaires sur l'argile, contexte de découverte et région de provenance - ainsi qu'à une étude comparative avec les autres productions des régions sicéliotes et italiotes (notamment Campanie et Paestum). Ce travail permet de développer au moins trois volets. Le premier volet met en avant les données matérielles du corpus (formes, types, éléments iconographiques, quantités de matériel, argiles, etc.) et permet de construire une base de travail pour les autres sections de la thèse. Le deuxième volet s'intéresse à l'analyse stylistique d'une partie des fragments du corpus, ce qui permet de proposer des rapprochements stylistiques entre le corpus et le matériel de comparaison et donc d'affiner la datation du corpus. Dans ce volet, est menée la révision de deux groupes appartenant à la production sicéliote (la production du Peintre de Biancavilla et la production du Groupe de Lentini-Manfria). De même, cette partie développe l'identification d'un groupe, possiblement inédit. Finalement, le troisième volet utilise les informations obtenues lors des deux premières parties pour essayer de mieux comprendre le contexte de provenance de notre corpus. Les hypothèses de provenance du matériel se font à différentes échelles (régionale, locale et culturelle) et cherchent à solidifier la place de Mégara Hyblaea dans les réseaux de distribution des vases à figures rouges en Sicile au cours du IVe siècle ainsi que les autres contextes qui pourraient expliquer la présence de notre matériel (sanctuaire, culture théâtrale)This thesis studies and analyses a mostly unpublished corpus of Sicilian red-figured vase fragments, decorated with scenes related to the sphere of Aphrodite and the Dionysian universe. These fragments are dated to the second half of the 4th century B.C. and probably come from the agora area of Megara Hyblaea, an ancient Greek colony in eastern Sicily. This city was rediscovered thanks to the excavations carried out by G. Vallet and Fr. Villard between 1949 and 1978. Following its discovery, Megara Hyblaea has been the subject of numerous excavation campaigns, studies and publications that focused in particular on the questions of the foundations of the city and its archaic phase. During the last study programs of the Ecole française de Rome, research on the post-archaic material of the city was relaunched. This thesis is part of these programs as well as the scientific collaboration, established in 2019, between the EfR and the Centre Jean Bérard in Naples (collaboration that continues the study of the selection of material carried out by Fr. Villard). The aim of this thesis is firstly to measure the contribution of the corpus to the history of Megara during the second half of the 4th century B.C. Secondly, we try to contribute to the revision of the production of Sicilian red-figured vases, in particular the revision of the organization of the different groups proposed by A.D. Trendall as well as their chronology. We also seek to establish some lines of thought on the end of the production of red figures in Sicily. In order to carry out this project, the corpus is subjected to a complete analysis - form of the vase, type, iconography, style, preliminary observations on the clay, context of discovery and region of provenance - as well as to a comparative study with the other vases of the Sicilian and Italiote regions (notably Campania and Paestum). This work allows the development of at least three parts. The first part highlights the material data of the corpus (forms, types, iconographic elements, quantities of material, clays, etc.) and allows to build a basis for the other sections of the thesis. The second part focuses on the stylistic analysis of a part of the fragments of the corpus, which allows the development of stylistic comparisons between the corpus and the comparative material and thus to refine the dating of the corpus. In this section, the revision of two groups belonging to the Sicilian production (the production of the Painter of Biancavilla and the production of the Group of Lentini-Manfria) is set up. This part also develops the identification of a possibly unpublished group. Finally, the third part uses the information obtained in the first two parts to try to better understand the context of provenance of our corpus. The hypotheses of the material's provenance are made on different scales (regional, local and cultural) and seek to solidify the place of Megara Hyblaea in the distribution networks of red-figured vases in Sicily during the 4th century, as well as the other contexts that could explain the presence of our material (sanctuary, theatre culture)

Esta pesquisa apresenta dois objetivos principais. O primeiro consiste na elaboração de uma análise da organização espacial de Mégara Hyblaea com base nos resultados publicados das escavações e em outras obras que tratam do tema. Será dada ênfase especial aos espaços sagrados. A partir do levantamento das áreas cultuais e das transformações ocorridas nos locais de prática religiosa pretendemos analisar como se deu o desenvolvimento sociopolítico da cidade e buscar elementos para entender como ocorreu a emergência da polis nesse local. O segundo objetivo de nossa pesquisa é verificar, no caso de Mégara Hyblaea, como se comporta o modelo de surgimento da polis elaborado por François de Polignac. Pesquisador da Escola de Paris, Polignac promoveu uma revisão nos estudos relativos à cidade-estado grega antiga, ao apresentar a religião como elemento fomentador dos laços entre os indivíduos. De acordo com o pesquisador francês, na obra \" La naissance de la cité grecque\", os espaços sagrados comunitários teriam promovido a integração dos habitantes de um determinado local fomentando o nascimento da polis.This research presents two main objectives. The first one consists of an analysis of space organization at Mégara Hyblaia based on the published results of archaeological excavations and other written sources that discuss this subject. Special emphasis will be given to sacred spaces. From the survey of these areas of cult and the transformations which occured in these places of religious practice, we intend to analyze the social and political developments of the city and also the polis` emergence in this place. The second objective of this research is to verify the polis emergence model elaborated by François de Polignac in the case of Mégara Hyblaia. As a researcher from the School of Paris, Polignac provided a revision on studies concerning the ancient Greek polis, and presented religion as the main element promoting interaction among individuals. According to this French researcher, in his book \"La naissance de la cité grecque\", the communal sacred spaces would promote integration among the inhabitants of a specific territory fostering the the birth of the polis.

Full textAbstract:
This study attempts to revive T.J. Dunbabin's multi-dimensional approach to the history of Early Iron Age Sicily in The Western Greeks (Oxford 1948). Dunbabin recognised that archaic Sicily had no real history, and that any historical account involved combining the very scant documentary record with the fuller and ever-growing body of archaeological evidence to produce a framework for writing social and economic history. These innovative methods ended with Dunbabin, however: today the field is dominated by scholars impeded artificially by disciplinary boundaries, which discourage the productive combination of historical and archaeological sources, leaving a number of important questions in a sort of academic no man's land. In the introduction an overview of the study of Sicily since Dunbabin is given, and Dunbabin's own weaknesses are explored: Dunbabin modelled Greek colonisation in Sicily on modern British colonisation; such a decision strait-jacketed his image of the past, causing him to draw conclusions unacceptable today. The increase in the quantity of archaeological evidence since Dunbabin means that it is no longer possible to make an in-depth study of the whole of Sicily in a single volume. Consequently, the focus has to be considerably more restricted than Dunbabin's; specific questions need to be selected. Megara Hyblaia and Selinous offer two particular advantages for studying the evolution of Greek settlement in Sicily: besides being Megarian, both are sufficiently well explored archaeologically to make historical investigation profitable, but they were founded a century apart on different sides of the island, in different environmental and socio-political contexts. The study itself is divided into two main parts, the first focusing on Megara Hyblaia and the second on Selinous; each of these two parts consists of five chapters, in which the same questions are asked of the evidence from the two sites, for comparative purposes. Chapters I and VI explore the background to settlement, with such subjects as the native world encountered by the settlers at the time of colonisation, pre- and proto-colonial activity, and the respective foundations of the colonies examined. Settlement development is the subject of chapters II and VII; the emphasis here is to monitor the successive stages of the physical growth of the colonies, and also to study the size and nature of the settlement itself. Chapters III and VIII deal with demography (particularly population size). The following chapters (IV and IX) use archaeological and written evidence to reconstruct socio-political history. Chapters V and X investigate environment and economy. In the closing chapter, after a review of the conclusions reached, the question of why Selinous evolved so differently from it mother-city is addressed. The thesis ends with brief consideration of the (Megarian) Sicilian contribution to the study of the polis.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse s’inscrit dans le domaine de l’archéologie des colonies grecques de Sicile. Les axes de recherche privilégiés sont l’habitat, l’architecture domestique et l’urbanisme de ces villes, toutes situées en Sicile orientale. Le cadre chronologique s’étend sur les IVe et IIIe s. av. J.-C., entendus comme faisant partie de l’époque hellénistique sicilienne. Après une présentation des faits historiques les plus pertinents, la recherche se concentre sur le site de Mégara Hyblaea, l’une des premières colonies grecques de Sicile, dont on présente et analyse les vestiges inédits appartenant à l’époque retenue. Cette étude approfondie traite d’abord des éléments architecturaux, puis des pièces des maisons et enfin des plans des maisons ; les habitations identifiées sont ensuite replacées dans leur environnement urbain. Par ailleurs, chacun de ces thèmes est abordé de façon détaillée et critique à travers cinq autres sites : Camarine, Géla, Morgantina, Syracuse et Tyndaris. Cette démarche facilite les comparaisons et permet de situer l’exemple mégarien dans le contexte choisi. Enfin, d’autres études de cas, plus succinctes, portent sur des sites puniques et des sites indigènes afin d’élargir le point de vue à l’ensemble de la Sicile hellénistique. La synthèse de ces données est organisée en deux parties. La première dresse un état des lieux de la recherche sur l’habitat et l’urbanisme des cités grecques de Sicile orientale à l’époque hellénistique et présente en particulier les questions les plus débattues. Dans la deuxième partie, on propose un bilan des connaissances sur le sujet en intégrant les hypothèses et les avancées réalisées au cours de l’étudeThis thesis concerns the archaeology of the Greek colonies in Sicily. The main research focus is the domestic architecture and the urbanism of these cities, all located in Eastern Sicily. The time frame considered is the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE, during the Sicilian Hellenistic period.Following a presentation of the most relevant historical facts, the investigation focuses on the site of Megara Hyblaea, one of the first Greek colonies in Sicily; previously unpublished remains belonging to the period at issue are presented and analyzed. This in-depth study deals first with architectural elements, then with the rooms of houses and finally the house plans; identified habitations are thereafter set in their urban surrounding. Furthermore, each of these themes is tackled in a detailed and critical way through five other sites: Camarina, Gela, Morgantina, Syracuse and Tyndaris. This approach makes the comparisons easier and allows us to place the example of Megara in context. Finally, other more succinct case studies of Punic sites and indigenous sites widen the scope of this study to the whole of Hellenistic Sicily.The synthesis of this data is organized into two sections. The first part lays out the current state of research on housing and urbanism of the Greek cities in Eastern Sicily during the Hellenistic period and presents the most debated issues. In the second part, the author proposes conclusions to integrate the hypotheses and the breakthroughs arrived at in the course of this study

Le ricerche condotte nel corso dell ultimo decennio nell area megarese (Augusta, Melilli e Priolo Gargallo, SR) hanno permesso di delineare chiaramente lo sviluppo e le trasformazioni del paesaggio rurale tra l età romana e il Medioevo. I risultati più interessanti sono stati evidenziati per il Tardoantico e l Altomedioevo grazie alle recenti acquisizioni e seriazioni delle ceramiche. Il quadro che è stato delineato ha permesso di evidenziare una generale continuità di vita tra l età repubblicana e il IV secolo e tra il VII e il IX secolo, con limitati fenomeni di abbandono, mentre è chiara una cesura avvenuta nel V secolo e, successivamente tra il IX e il X secolo, quest ultimo certamente a causa dello scontro bellico tra Bizantini e Arabi, con l abbandono di gran parte degli insediamenti del territorio. Parallelamente, lo sviluppo degli insediamenti rupestri, con la funzione di siti-rifugio, conferma da un lato l incertezza di questa fase, ma parallelamente gli insediamenti costieri indicano una continuità di vita che si protrae senza cesure fino al IX secolo. Proprio su questo punto sono state concentrate le ricerche che hanno sottolineato, come in altri contesti del Mediterraneo, che tra VIII e IX secolo gli scambi sulla lunga distanza proseguirono, certo su scala minore, e non furono interrotti dalle vicende belliche.

Full textAbstract:
distribuída em uma moldura interpretativa criada por duas cidades separadas em suas respectivas fundações mais ou menos três séculos. A pólis arcaica de Mégara Hibleia e a pólis clássica de Túrio oferecem as maiores referências da presente pesquisa, cuja intenção é analisar o fenômeno da organização ortogonal através da teoria da poesia oral como apresentada nos estudos comparativos de Milman Parry e Albert Lord. A pesquisa etnográfica de Parry e Lord no começo do século XX com bardos iugoslavos abriu todo um novo e inspirador campo de estudos no âmbito da composição e recepção dos poemas homéricos. Com tal perspectiva, se demonstrará nas páginas seguintes um método de planejamento sem que haja o desenho de planos. Um planejamento que utiliza como recurso de composição fórmulas aritméticas que definem as proporções entre os elementos do sistema. Iniciando o problema com as evidências literárias sobre Hipodamo de Mileto, coroado por uma corrente historiográfica como primus inventor do método urbano ortogonal, se descortinará uma tradição anônima secular derivada da prática de artífices que não escreveram uma linha a respeito de sua técnica. As fórmulas ortogonais constituem medidas co-dimensionadas entre os lados do lote da casa, do quarteirão e da largura das ruas cristalizados ao longo do tempo na escansão dos quarteirões. Tomando-se miras ópticas e alinhando cordas ao longo de estradas seria possível - como em um esquadro - iniciar dois vetores das fórmulas aritméticas então traduzidas em formas geométricas. Será argumentado na análise detalhada da forma de Mégara Hibleia contra a hipótese de que exista no período arcaico a concepção de um módulo abstrato e a priori. A cidade ortogonal arcaica não é um plano-mestre pensado como um conjunto que precede suas partes. O uso dos princípios da ortogonalidade ao longo do tempo, no entanto, contribuem para o surgimento de novas fórmulas de unidades maiores que em cidades como Túrio consignam dentro de sua área o agrupamento de um dado número de quarteirões. Isto é o indício de que a cidade ortogonal comensura-se então como um conjunto articulado de partes. Ao questionar a leitura moderna que, sob um paradigma literário, vê nos planos e desenhos de reconstituição da malha original das cidades ortogonais um produto de um exercício por excelência abstrato, mental e a priori, se discutirá, por consequência, a ontologia do artefato arqueológico, os fundamentos epistemológicos da arqueologia que, desde seu vir-a-ser como disciplina acadêmica, se ampara de uma série de ferramentas interpretativas herdadas da cosmologia moderna ocidental. O texto circulará, portanto, em vias interdisciplinares entre arqueologia, filologia, filosofia, sociologia, antropologia e história da arte.The Greek orthogonal technique, especially in the urban contexts of Sicily and south Italy (Magna Graecia), could be distributed in a interpretative frame created by the archaeological tale of two cities separated in its foundations more or less three hundred years. The Archaic polis of Megara Hyblaea and the Classical polis of Thurioi offer the two major references of the present research which intends to analyze the phenomenon of orthogonal organization through the oral poetry theory as presented in the comparative studies of Milman Parry and Albert Lord. The ethnographic research of Parry and Lord in the earlier twentieth century with Yugoslavian singers opens a new and inspiring field on the composition and reception of the Homeric poems. With this perspective, it will be demonstrate in the following pages a planning method without any design plans. A planning that uses as compositional resources arithmetical formulas that define the proportional dimensions between the elements of the system. Initiating the subject with the literary evidences about Hipodamus of Miletus, crowned by a historiographical current as primus inventor of the orthogonal method, will be uncovered the anonymous secular tradition derived from the practice of craftsmen who did not write a single word about their techniques. The orthogonal formulas constitute co-dimensioned measures between the sides of the house lot, the block and the width of streets crystallized over time in the scansion of the blocks. Taking optical sights and aligning ropes along roads would be possible - as in a square - to start two vectors from the arithmetical formulas then translated in geometrical forms. It will be argued in the detailed analysis of Megara Hyblaea\'s layout against the hypothesis that there is in the Archaic period a conception of an abstract and a priori module. The orthogonal Archaic city it is not a master plan thought as a set which precedes its parts. The continued use of the orthogonal principles over time, however, contribute to the emergence of new formulas of larger unities which in cities like Thurioi consigns inside its area the grouping of a given number of blocks. This is a sign of a notion then that the orthogonal city is co-measured from a set articulated of parts. By questioning the modern lecture which, under a literary paradigm, sees the reconstituted plans and drawings of an original orthogonal grid a byproduct of an abstract, mental and a priori exercise, it will be discussed, by consequence, the ontology of the archaeological artifact, the archaeology\'s epistemological fundaments that, since its becoming as an academic discipline, relies on a series of interpretative tools inherited from modern Western cosmology. It will be circulate, therefore, in interdisciplinary roads between archaeology, philology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology and art history.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail sur les céramiques de cuisine est centré sur trois sites issus de cités-mères différentes, d’un environnement géographique distinct et discontinu, et en contact avec des populations variées : Marseille, Mégara Hyblaea et Apollonia du Pont. L’objectif n’est pas d’obtenir une vision globalisante de la cuisine grecque du VIIe au IVe s. av. J.-C., qui serait réductrice, mais de réaliser une analyse comparative pour évaluer la nature des relations liant les colonies grecques entre elles, et celles-ci aux communautés avec lesquelles elles sont en contact. Il s’articule en trois parties distinctes et complémentaires. La première pose les bases en replaçant ce travail dans son contexte historiographique tout en précisant la méthodologie adoptée ; une large part est consacrée à caractériser la fonction, les usages, les procédés culinaires et la terminologie de chaque forme, en croisant les sources : texte, iconographie, coroplastie, ethnographie et archéologie. La deuxième partie développe l’analyse typo-chronologique des céramiques grecques de cuisine depuis la préparation des aliments jusqu’à leur cuisson, incluant divers dispositifs et ustensiles. Enfin, la troisième partie met en évidence, par une analyse diachronique intrinsèque, le faciès culinaire propre à chacune de ces trois colonies et son évolution au regard des phénomènes d’interactions culturelles entre les sociétés préromaines. Cette approche permet de révéler, dans un cadre culturel commun aux Grecs, une certaine discontinuité des comportements alimentaires perceptibles dans le monde grec colonial, variable selon l’échelle (locale, régionale, interrégionale) et le contexte socio-économique considérésThis work on the kitchen ceramics is focused on three sites from different mother cities, a distinct and discontinuous geographic environment, and in contact with diverse populations: Marseille, Megara Hyblaea and Apollonia Pontica.The goal is not to get a holistic view of the Greek kitchen from the 7th to the 4th century BC., which would be reductive, but a comparative analysis to evaluate the nature of the relationship between the Greek colonies each other, and these with the communities with which they are in contact.It is divided into three distinct and complementary parts. The first lays the foundations by placing this work in its historiographical context while specifying the methodology adopted; a large part is dedicated to characterize the function, uses, culinary processes and terminology of each shape, by crossing the sources (text, iconography, coroplasty, ethnography and archaeology).The second part develops the typo-chronological analysis of the Greek kitchen ceramics from the preparation of the food to its cooking, sometimes using various devices and utensils. Finally, the third part highlights, by an intrinsic diachronic analysis, the culinary faciès for each of these three colonies and its evolution due to multiple phenomena of cultural interactions between the pre-Roman societies.This approach allows to reveal, in a common cultural framework to the Greeks, a discontinuity of the perceptible eating behaviours in the Greek colonial world, varying according to the scale (local, regional, interregional) and the socio-economic context considered

Abstract This Inventory comprises 1,035 communities, each certainly or probably or possibly a polis in the Archaic and/or Classical periods. But not all were poleis at the same time. Some early poleis had disappeared for good already in the Archaic period, e.g. Arisba on Lesbos (no. 768) swallowed up by Methymna, presumably in C6, or Megara Hyblaia in Sicily (no. 36), destroyed by Gelon in 484. Other poleis were founded in the course of the period covered by our investigation, e.g.

Full textAbstract:
An Elymian identity given by Thucydides (6.2.3) illustrates well ethnic convergen- ces in classical Sicily. Refugees from Troy called themselves Elymians, founded Segesta and Eryx, and were later joined by some storm-driven Phokians. The Trojan ethnic component may reflect a Sicilian tradition at least as early as the late sixth century BCE (Stesichoros), strengthened through time, so that by the Roman period Segesta won tax relief on the basis of “kinship diplomacy.” Identifying what is Elymian about Segesta is challenging, and the main topic of two international congresses (Pisa 1997, 2000). The Sanctuary at Contrada Mango was partially excavated by Vincenzo Tusa in the 1950s, and yielded Archaic pottery with graffiti in Elymian, but written in the Greek epichoric alphabet of Megara Hyblaia: thus convergence began early. This article addresses convergences in religious architecture: the Unfinished Temple at Segesta (ca. 420 BCE), Segesta’s stellar attraction today, has been studied thoroughly by Dieter Mertens (1984). Not as well known is a Greek, Doric temple of similar size but earlier fifth-century date, in the sanctuary at Contrada Mango at Segesta. Pieces of its superstructure lie scattered on the ground. Whereas Mertens was able to docu- ment Athenian influence in the unfinished temple, other sources of influence, and original- ity, are evident in Contrada Mango’s earlier temple.
