Schmitt, François. "La semence des pierres : le dépôt de fondation dans l'Egypte ancienne". Paris, EPHE, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013EPHE4039.
Texto completo da fonteThis doctoral dissertation aims to study the foundation deposits of ancient Egypt since the emergence of the state in the late fourth millennium BC until the gradual decline of the pharaonic culture in the Roman and Byzantine periods. The interest about egyptian foundation deposits was renewed because of the many discoveries made since the last third of the twentieth century. In particular, the discovery of foundation deposits by Dieter Arnold in 1970 at the summit platform of the temple of Mentuhotep II at Deir el- Bahari , in addition of those identified by Herbert Winlock in the early 1920s, opened new questions to identify the meanings in these ritual practices. This work aims to establish a catalog of many discoveries of foundation deposits in Egypt, and to put them into perspective in order to account for changes and various values they were invested by the ancient Egyptians. Compositions, arrangements and inscriptions on objects are studied as accurately as documentation allows with , where possible , identifying objects held in the collections of museums or private collections
Kumah, Daniel. "Begho (Ghana) Revisited : examining archaeological archives and ‘excavating’ museum storage". Electronic Thesis or Diss., Toulouse 2, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022TOU20070.
Texto completo da fonteBegho was the most populated town in 1471 when the Portuguese came to the Gold Coast. It was a market town which had trade connections with Jenne in the Niger Bend region and subsequently with the coast. Begho’s importance is recorded in Arabic manuscripts and European records and narrated through oral accounts.There is little information regarding the archaeological practice, publications and reports from Begho since the last excavations in 1979. Some scholars have problematized this and termed it the ‘Begho Mystery’.In 2017 the archaeological project at Begho was initiated. The objectives of the study were to assess and examine some archival documents of previous researchers who worked at Begho. To identify and interrogate Begho artefacts at the Museum of Archaeology, University of Ghana and to conduct an archaeological survey, excavations and laboratory investigations of artefacts.An approach involving gathering documentary and archival records such as field notes, site plans, maps, illustrations and photographs at Begho from the 1970s was examined. Based on the archival data source, a rigorous search and analysis of Begho cultural materials kept in Museum storage were undertaken. A detailed survey was conducted to determine the size of this ancient cosmopolitan city. Also, archaeological excavation and analysis of materials were conducted.This research provides insights into using archival records and museum artefacts; which are key components in creating an archaeological repository. Crucibles revealed gold particles and radiocarbon dates further confirm that from the 1300s onwards, Begho was involved in regional and long-distance trade in the West African sub-region. This study would contribute to the discussion and creation of an archaeological repository, the archaeology of Iron Age societies and urban centres in Ghana
Begho war 1471, als die Portugiesen an die Goldküste kamen, die bevölkerungsreichste Stadt. Es war eine Marktstadt, die Handelsbeziehungen mit Jenne in der Niger-Bend-Region und später mit der Küste unterhielt. Die Bedeutung von Begho ist in arabischen Manuskripten und europäischen Aufzeichnungen festgehalten und durch mündliche Überlieferungen belegt.Seit den letzten Ausgrabungen im Jahr 1979 gibt es nur wenige Informationen über die archäologische Praxis, Veröffentlichungen und Berichte aus Begho. Einige Wissenschaftler haben dies problematisiert und als das "Geheimnis von Begho" bezeichnet.Im Jahr 2017 wurde das archäologische Projekt in Begho initiiert. Die Ziele der Studie waren die Auswertung und Untersuchung einiger Archivdokumente früherer Forscher, die am Begho gearbeitet haben. Identifizierung und Befragung von Artefakten aus Begho im Archäologischen Museum der Universität Ghana und Durchführung eines archäologischen Surveys, von Ausgrabungen und Laboruntersuchungen der Artefakte.Ein Ansatz, der das Sammeln von dokumentarischen und archivarischen Aufzeichnungen wie Feldnotizen, Lageplänen, Karten, Illustrationen und Fotografien in Begho aus den 1970er Jahren beinhaltet, wurde untersucht. Auf der Grundlage der archivierten Datenquellen wurde eine gründliche Suche und Analyse der im Museum aufbewahrten kulturellen Materialien von Begho durchgeführt. Eine detaillierte Untersuchung wurde durchgeführt, um die Größe dieser antiken kosmopolitischen Stadt zu bestimmen. Außerdem wurden archäologische Ausgrabungen und Materialanalysen durchgeführt.Diese Forschungsarbeit bietet Einblicke in die Verwendung von Archivunterlagen und Museumsartefakten, die Schlüsselkomponenten bei der Einrichtung eines archäologischen Depots sind. Die in den Tiegeln gefundenen Goldpartikel und die Radiokarbondaten bestätigen, dass Begho ab 1300 in den regionalen und überregionalen Handel in der westafrikanischen Subregion eingebunden war. Diese Studie soll einen Beitrag zur Diskussion und Einrichtung eines archäologischen Fundortes, zur Archäologie der eisenzeitlichen Gesellschaften und städtischen Zentren in Ghana leisten

Paris, Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009MNHN0024.
Texto completo da fonteThe thick quaternary sedimentary series of Sangiran dome (Java) are among the richest hominid-bearing layers in the world. The oldest human fossils are dated to 1. 5 million years BP, but most of them are found in the fluviovolcanic layers dating between 1 to 0. 7 m. Y. BP. On this wide open air site, the Ngebung 2 hill delivered the only preserved archaeological assemblage: a human occupation surface dating to 0. 8 m. Y. BP. This geological study of Sangiran is focused on the study of the composition, accumulation and post-depositional process of sedimentary series, with particular interest for the archaeological and paleontological layers. The micromorphological study has been essential in our analytical approach, completing the fieldwork. This work allowed the characterization of the most ancient true terrestrial levels which may encountered the first human immigrants in this area. We also highlighted several pedoclimatic ambiances and pedo-sedimentary cycles informative about the reconstruction of paleotopography, paleoenvironments, and for the important influence of Asiatic monsoon on those deposits. The characterization of the nature of sediments and of their sources, permitted us to propose the reconstruction of the rivers pathways and the development, about 1 m. Y. BP of an alluvial fan coming from north and linked to an active tectonic phase. We also point out the frequent weathering and reworking of the volcanic tuffaceous material which could explain the wide dispersion of radiochronological datations in hominid bearing series. Several mudflows had covered rapidly the Homo erectus occupation surface of Ngebung 2 site, which explain the excellent preservation of the archaeological material from this site but also from other fossiliferous layers in the fluvio-volcanic series of Sangiran
Nicolai, Caroline von. "Limites visibles et invisibles : dépôts laténiens en contexte de fortification en Europe tempérée". Paris, EPHE, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011EPHE4011.
Texto completo da fonteHoards and special deposits have been discovered on a number of Iron Age hillforts in western and central continental Europe, buried deliberately beneath or within fortification ramparts, in pits dug into the back of ramparts, in ditches or pits just behind the ramparts, or in close proximity to hillfort gateways and defences. These deposits, most of whom belong to the Late La Tène period, comprise tools, agricultural implements, currency bars, kitchen implements, personal ornaments, weapons, fittings of chariots, horse harnesses, coins, ceramic vessels and statuettes. Inhumation and cremation burials, as well as isolated human and animal skeletal remains have also been found. A careful analysis of the archaeological contexts of 113 deposits from 61 hillforts demonstrates that there are important regional differences in the composition, the treatment and the dating of the finds. The study also shows that many of these deposits result from formalised and repeated activities. They might therefore constitute documents of attest ritual or even religious behaviour, performed on the boundaries of fortified sites in order to give these places a certain structure and to strengthen the coherence and the identity of the community who built and used those boundaries. The fortifications of the La Tène period were thus not only used as monumental defensive works, but also acted as symbolic and invisible boundaries of great social relevance

Texto completo da fonteThis dissertation is focused on the archaeological site of Sangtarashan located on the western Iran, in Luristan. Discovered in 2002 and excavated during six campaigns from 2005 to 2011, the site had revealed, more than two thousand objects particularly several hundreds of "Bronzes of Luristan", in a circular architectural structure, in stone, overlapped by several other structures. Some of them were deposit as packages and others were isolated between stone blocks of walls or scattered over the entire surface of the site. The aim of this study was to propose a function and a dating for the site and then, to contextualize it in its geographical and historical environment. The architectural study and the analysis of spatial organization of objects led us to suggest that Sangtarashan was a ritual place where the act of deposition of metal objects was a custom by prayers, potentially travelers or nomads. The typo-chronological study of the objects allowed us to date the occupation of the site to the Iron Age with two consecutive phases: the Iron age 1-Il for the first phase and the Iron age Il-III (even IV?) for the second phase. lt seems that the form of dedication change from the first phase to the second one. In the first phase objects are dedicated as deposits in packages of arms and vessels. While in the second phase, they take the form of deposit of isolated objects of smaller size and of a more varied nature. The richness of the Sangtarashan's finds makes this site as a reference base for the next studies on the Bronzes of Luristan. It also allowed us to propose some dating for several types of objects till todays only attested among the objects provide from the illegal diggings

Texto completo da fonteRevealed by the mythical epic of its legendary sovereign Quetzalcóatl, the Toltec civilization was recognized during the XIXe century, amid the explorations made by Désiré Charnay, a french traveller and archaeologist. Thereafter, archaeological research lead to the identification of the main site of Tula. The physical data collected were cross-checked with the texts in order to identify cultural features specific to this civilization. Despite these discoveries and numerous exhumed mortuaries, dead Toltec remained in the shadows, hidden in archives. Thus, this thesis aims to analyze mortuaries of the Toltec civilization and to highlight, through a precise and multidisciplinary approach, the continuities and cultural specificities of death in three sites : Tula, Tizayuca and El Refugio. Quantitative and qualitative data from these three examples allowed us to produce a meticulous and systematic analysis of data from A.D. 750 to A.D. 1200. After laying emphasis on a archaeo-anthropological analysis, the study then focused on the definition of the Toltec ideological funeral system through texts and pictures. The acknowledgement of death’s paradigmatic dimension within this Mesoamerican civilization enabled the breakaway of consensual interpretations centred on funeral antinomy – sacrificial, to achieve the rehabilitation of a hidden purpose of death. As a whole, this thesis offers a new reading of the Toltec civilization’s mortuary practices, from an archaeological, ethnohistorical and anthropological insight
Fily, Muriel. "Les monuments funéraires et les dépôts métalliques dans le paysage rituel de l’Âge du Bronze : l’exemple du centre-ouest de la Bretagne et du Finistère littoral (France)". Rennes 1, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008REN1S160.
Texto completo da fonteThe main objective of the study is to determine whether the relief is decisive in choosing the location of graves, Bronze hoards and isolated metal objects of the Bronze Age in central-west Brittany and in the Finistère coast (France). We attempt to understand the role of the landscape through its hills and valleys in the funeral and ritual world. Much information about the sites was compiled in a database, from ancient and recent discoveries. A location is proposed for each site. Numerous precautions have been implemented: taking into account a large sample quantity, successive treatment sites depending on the degree of certainty of their function, their date, the accuracy of the location, and relativization by statistics. Spatial analysis are made using a GIS. To the question of the determine role of relief in the choice of the establishment of graves, the answer is yes: a strong attraction for the high positions in landscape and a generalized rejection to the low ones is demonstrated. A preference for the dead lay in high areas of landscape has been observed in other countries of Western Europe. Beliefs and a certain conception of death should be shared by these people. To the question of the role of relief to burry the hoards and isolated metal objects, the answer is more nuanced: it is not the only factor. The burials and the hoards followed therefore different modes of establishment and should remain varied concepts and beliefs

Texto completo da fonteRoman and Christian mortuary practices are widely explored by historians and archaeologists in Western Europe. Considered as a relic of a social being, the dead body contributes to a better understanding of human communities and cultures. However, even if Man-Environment interactions are now a central issue of the scientific research, no study has questioned funerary behaviors in an ethnobotanical perspective yet. This work aims to reconstitute plant accessories that people collect in their environment to treat the corpse and modify its appearance or its anatomical and biological properties. An original methodology is set up to sample and analyze macro and microbotanical remains, especially pollen, from Roman, Medieval and Modern tombs (1st-17th centuries AD) excavated on eight archaeological sites in France and in Italy. These archaeobotanical data confronted with written sources shed light on two kinds of practices.On the one hand, plant materials such as floral arrangements, litter and cushion made of colorful and fragrant species accompany the defunct into the grave. These tributes modify the sensory perception of the corpse and materialize devotion to the deceased, even in more humble social backgrounds. These results invite archaeologists to consider a new and unexpected kind of grave goods during fieldwork and laboratory analysis.On the other hand, plants are used for embalming into elite social circles. In Europe this practice, most likely originated in Ancient Times, is accurately documented by written and archaeological sources between the 14th century and the early 19th century. Evisceration and excerebration procedures physically transform the corpse, then the flesh and the skin are treated with an aromatic balm composed by many plants and exudates such as wormwood, mint, myrrh and frankincense. Surgeons appeal to medicinal, olfactory and symbolic properties of plants in order to stop the decay process and honor the body.This work lays foundation for an ethno-archaeobotany of death and brings some elements to understand the relationship between the dead body and its plant environment. Ancient origins of these mortuary practices now need to be identified. Moreover their persistence in contemporary society could also be analyzed through an ethno-sociological approach

Texto completo da fonteThe first settlers reached the Remote Oceania (east of the Solomon Islands) quite recently, around 3000 yr BP. There are several hypotheses concerning the causes of these migrations, and environmental changes have to be taken into account in the settlement proceeding. The arrival of populations on pristine islands has an influence on the native fauna and flora, but landscape responses to human impact vary for each site examined. The aims of this research are to describe the human influence on the environment since the first migrations, to discriminate the climate impact, which causes theses migrations and the landscape modification during the late Holocene; then, to characterize the human behaviour and adaptation on pristine island. To answer this problem, two palustrine cores, collected in Efate Island (central Vanuatu) were studied: the Emaotfer Swamp and the Otas Lake.I have mainly used pollen and micro-charcoal analyses to reconstruct the arboreal and herbaceous vegetation found around the sites. I have also conducted of past temperatures and rainfalls reconstructions thanks to density probability functions. At the climatic level, these analyses highlight a warm and wet period until 3700 cal yr BP. Then, a increase in magnitude and number of El Niño events caused a drier environment. Between 1950 and 750-600 cal yr BP, the results reveal a more humid climate, associated with the decrease in El Niño frequency and magnitude. The climatic variations recorded by the Otas Lake and the Emaotfer Swamp vegetation show a new dry period after 750-600 cal yr BP, corresponding to the Little Ice Age.Lapita people reached Efate Island ca. 3000 cal yr BP under frequent and sustained El Niño events. During this period, easterly winds stopped and favoured eastward sail. These results support the hypothesis of eastward migrations under low trade winds. The first settlers were seafarers and fishers-gatherers, they had little impact on the environment. A new population settled the Emaotfer Swamp from 1500-1300 cal yr BP, developed medicinal, ceremonial and food plants cultivations and has probably practiced slash and burn agriculture. This group lived under humid climate, also more suitable to the development of horticulture. Our results show the adaptive capacity of populations to new environmental and climatic constraints. The complementary of the pollen and micro-charcoal analyses deliver rather complete information on the palaeoenvironment, the Human-climate-vegetation relations and the emergence of the human impact. For future researches, it will be necessary to obtain more information on the pollen rain for a maximum of taxa, the ecological needs of plant species and the specific climate parameters for each island, to develop a robust model of past landscapes, climates and land-use (project LandCover6k)

Texto completo da fonteThe roman cities of Asia Minor are surrounded by vast necropolises, amongst which funerary complexes are mostoften plundered. While monuments and inscriptions have been studied in great detail in the past, the depositional context andfunerary treatment of the dead and the management of collective burials have not been submitted to detailed analysis. Thediscovery of Tomb 163d, a subterranean funerary chamber not plundered in the North Necropolis of Hierapolis (ancientprovince of Phrygia, in the South-West of Turkey) provided a unique opportunity to apply archeo-anthropological analysis inorder to understand funerary treatment and burial practices. This study reinvestigated the excavations which took place in2003, to complement another four campaigns (2010-2013). For these excavation campaigns a specific intervention strategywas developed as part of the Archeological Italian Mission of Hierapolis. After discussing the chronological framework, thisstudy analyses funerary treatment (modes of inhumation, body treatment, depositional context) as well as the burialmanagement to the management within the dynamic of the funeral space. The stratigraphic analysis demonstrated that thegrave was utilized from the Augustan period to the 7th century and contained 293 individuals. During the 3rd century, a Jewishfamily rebought the tomb for further use, as indicated by the inscriptions engraved on the monument. The taphonomic study ofthe articulated skeletons revealed that the majority of the deceased were buried in wooden coffins. It appeared that the Jewishfamily left some skeletal remains from the first occupiers in situ, in accordance with the Roman law defining the sepulchrum asa locus religious. However, the management of human remains was more related to practical considerations, linked to thevolume of the remains, than to the concern of respecting the deceased. By analyzing and interpreting the organization offuneral spaces, the conclusions of this study provide new evidence on relationships between different religious groups living inHierapolis, and on aspects of burial practices during Roman Antiquity and Proto-Byzantine period
Bourdoiseau, Jacques-André. "Rôle des espèces sulfures sur le comportement d’un acier non allié en milieu de stockage des déchets radioactifs de type C : interaction sulfures / produits de corrosion". Thesis, La Rochelle, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LAROS328/document.
Texto completo da fonteThis PhD work deals with the nuclear waste disposal. In France, it is envisaged byAndra (French national radioactive waste management agency) that high-level radioactivewastes will be confined in a glass matrix, stored in a stainless steel canister, it self placed in a carbon steel overpack. The wastes will then be stored at a depth of ~500 m in a deep geological repositery, drilled in a very stiff (indurated) clay (argillite) formation. The kineticsof corrosion expected for the overpack in this disposal concept are low and will stay low if the somehow protective rust layer that will develop initially on the steel surface remains undamaged. Local changes of the physico-chemical conditions may however degrade this layer and induce accelerated kinetics of corrosion. In particular, the growth of sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) close to the steel overpack cannot be excluded and the sulphid especies these micro-organisms produce may modify the corrosion process. The aim of this work was then to achieve a better understanding of the corrosion system constituted with steel, its rust layer mainly made of siderite FeCO3, and a sulphide-containing electrolyte.First, it proved necessary to characterise the iron sulphides involved in the corrosion processes by Raman micro-spectroscopy so as to study their formation and transformation mechanisms in various conditions of Fe(II) and S(-II) concentration, pH, temperature andaeration. It could be demonstrated that the Raman spectrum of mackinawite FeS, thecompound that precipitated in any case from dissolved Fe(II) and S(-II) species with the experimental conditions considered here, depended on the crystallinity and oxidation state.Moreover, the mechanisms of the oxidation of mackinawite into greigite Fe3S4 in acidicanoxic solutions at 80°C could be described. Finally, iron sulphides, often present on archaeological artefacts, could be identified using Raman micro-spectroscopy. The compounds present were mainly mackinawite and greigite.Secondly, to investigate the nature and properties of carbonated rust layers, carbonsteel electrodes were polarised anodically in NaHCO3 electrolytes continuously de-aerated byan argon flow. The experiments were performed at room temperature. The carbonated greenrust was observed to form at 0.003 and 0.1 mol L-1 NaHCO3 whereas FeCO3 was obtained atthe largest concentrations (0.5 and 1 mol L-1). Additional experiments were performed similarly in solutions of NaHCO3 and Na2SO4. Chukanovite, the Fe(II) hydroxycarbonate with formula Fe2(OH)2CO3, could be obtained in solutions containing 0.03 mol L-1 of eachsalt.Finally, interactions between sulphide species and corrosion products were studied.Siderite, goethite and lepidocrocite proved to be reactive towards sulphide. So, it seems clear that sulphide species produced by SRB should interact with the rust layer before to reach the metal underneath. Tests were performed with ferrous archaeological artefacts immersed 2months in anoxic sulphide-containing electrolytes to demonstrate it. The main effect of theimmersion was the formation of iron sulphide at the interface between the dense corrosion products layer, mainly constitute of siderite, and the transformed medium, where minerals ofthe soil are mixed with corrosion products. Sulphide species were not detected at the vicinityof the iron surface
Shah-Hosseini, Majid. "Geomorphic evolution and coastal hazards along the Iranian coast of Makran". Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014AIXM3010.
Texto completo da fonteIn this thesis we have two main goals: (i) to reconstruct the Holocene coastal evolution and relative sea-level changes using strandplains around the Chabahar and Pozm bays; and (ii) to evaluate coastal hazards (tsunami and extreme storms) along the Iranian coast of Makran using high-energy deposits. Since the mid-Holocene, the shoreline rimming the bays of Chabahar and Pozm has prograded ~5 km and formed extensive strandplains. We documented relative sea-level changes along four coast-normal profiles. Internal architecture of strandplain imaged using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). The sedimentology and stratigraphy of the coastal sequence were studied by coring and trenching. The highest paleo-coastline is located about 5 km inland and stands approximately 15 m above present sea level. Paleo-shorelines date back between 4800 and 270 years BP at respective distances of 5 km to 670 m from the active shoreline. The spatial position of the palaeo-coastlines demonstrates a fall in local sea level of around 15 m during the last ~4800 years. Event deposits attesting to high-energy waves have been studied in low-lying coast by study of Over-washed sandy and shelly marine sediment and on the rocky shore by study of displaced boulder deposits. We applied hydrologic models to estimate the height and inundation distance of exceptional waves. Our results demonstrate that no known or probable storm is capable of detaching and transporting the boulders. Tsunami waves 4 m in height are enough to transport the boulders. We conclude the Makran coast has archived evidence of palaeo-tsunami events generated in the Makran subduction zone
