Abstract Reconstructing the colonization and demographic dynamics that gave rise to extant forests is essential forecasts of forest responses environmental changes. Classical approaches map how population trees changed through space time largely rely on pollen distribution patterns, with only a limited number studies exploiting DNA molecules preserved in wooden tree archaeological subfossil remains. Here, we advance such analyses by applying high‐throughput ( HTS ) sequencing wood material...
L'Amélie beach is located near the mouth of Gironde estuary (south-western Atlantic coast France). It has been greatly eroded by recent storms, especially in winter 2013-2014. Erosion dune front and uncovered a set estuarine aeolian sediment deposits containing numerous archaeological remains. A campaign topographic surveys was undertaken with DGPS TLS equipment during springs 2014 2015 along 2 km length order to reconstruct elevation stratigraphy these deposits. Sedimentological analyses...
The northern coast of the Médoc between Soulac-sur-Mer and Montalivet-les-Bains has a rich archaeological heritage that is being directly impacted by coastal erosion. A series clay-peat palaeosols formed in ancient estuarine marshes holds evidence intensive occupation from Mesolithic until end Roman period. Within this framework, our research focused on two key sites La Lède du Gurp (Grayan-et-l'Hôpital) L'Amélie (Soulac-sur-Mer), where an interdisciplinary approach based comparison...
The Gironde estuary in SW France is the largest Western Europe and has attracted human populations since prehistoric times. From 1970s to 1990s, intense archaeological research was undertaken on long highly dynamic coastline just south of mouth. In recent years, combined action increased coastal erosion pressure proved a serious threat integrity sites area. As consequence, whole array previously unrecorded remains across intertidal zone strip being exposed. this context, innovative...
Le site de Coudounèu a été occupé durant la deuxième moitié du Ve s. av. J.-C. et détruit par un incendie entre fin ce siècle le début IVe L'exploration exhaustive des vestiges, 1990 à 1992, leur excellent état conservation ont permis d'identifier établissement fortifié vocation agricole, d'une superficie 1000 m2. Les bâtiments se composent deux îlots séparés une rue centrale quelques fonds cabane creusés sur sommet rocher. La présence très nettement prédominante récipients stockage (doliums...
La péninsule du Médoc est une région naturellement bien délimitée qui constitue terre de confins où l'occupation l'âge Fer se concentre principalement en bordure zones humides. Se posent alors des questions sur le rapport sociétés avec leur environnement, l'organisation sites et les potentialités offertes par ressources spécifiques (sel). Les recherches menées site Château Mur à Gaillan-en-Médoc littoral nord médocain permettent dresser un premier bilan confrontant découvertes anciennes récentes.
L'identification récente de 41 balles fronde en plomb et d'un boulet baliste sur le site l'Ermitage d'Agen (Lotet-Garonne) confirme l'hypothèse siège l'oppidum. Quatre inscrites au nom Marcus Agrippa datent cet événement l'intervention menée contre les Gaulois d'Aquitaine 38 a. C., très brièvement mentionnée par Appien, mais jamais encore attestée l'archéologie. Les projectiles, habituellement mal datés, font ici l'objet d'une étude détaillée qui fournit une image des différents types...
The adaptation of territorial systems to the ongoing climate change is an issue which implies test past populations abilities cope, "bounce back" or adapt during similar environmental changes. chronostratigraphical and archaeological results, obtained in frame LITAQ project, make it possible better understand changes encountered by a coastal system (now on shore front) whose intense occupation since Neolithic period was linked exploitation specific resources (salt, grazing), then inherent...
High coastal erosion rates along the beaches of Médoc peninsula urge for study Pleistocene and Holocene deposits buried under modern dune. Those are known to be exceptionally rich in archaeological remains (from Mesolithic at least). The aggressive predation these fossil by sea explains urgency exploring their content sedimentological history. Within formations, "Lède du Gurp" site located on shore, administrative boundary Soulac-sur-Mer Grayan-et-l'Hôpital, is tremendous value...
The Salyens : cultural faciès and populations. nature of the territory ethnic origins have always produced a large number hypotheses ; many ancient accounts remain ambiguous. However, comparison these with new archaeological evidence allows us to propose interpretations. In progressively studying architectural techniques, funerary rites material culture, we can distinguish two spheres within Aix basin. If at one level this bi-partition reflects existence economically different zones, it also...
Peu d’études portent, pour les habitats de l’âge du Fer, sur leur alimentation en eau qui a laissé peu traces : populations se ravitaillaient par portage à partir d’un point d’eau (auprès puits, sources, mares aménagées, fossés) ou récupéraient eaux pluie au moyen dolium d’une citerne. constructions ostentatoires attestent d’équipements collectifs et ce sont puits constituent l’équipement hydraulique le plus répandu, avec un net accroissement durant Fer. Leurs aménagements intérieurs, quand...
Recent severe winters have opened observation windows along the Aquitaine coastline (SW France) with particularly drastic impacts northern Gironde shores (Castelle et al., 2015), where, exceptionally, palaeoenvironmental sedimentary records and archaeological materials sealed below modern sand dunes are exposed in intertidal zones (e.g. Tastet & Pontee, 1998; Aubie Tastet, 2000). Historically these sedimentological sequences been focus of archaeologists ever since imp...
Dans le nord du Médoc (Gironde), entre les communes de Soulac-sur-Mer et Montalivet-les-Bains, littoral sableux est soumis à une très forte érosion. Face un riche patrimoine archéologique, historique paléoenvironnemental, équipe interdisciplinaire a été constituée, regroupant archéologues, géomorphologues biologistes. Les opérations terrain réalisées dans des contraintes extrêmement fortes ont nécessité la mise en place d'un protocole travail spécifique.
