Many of the million animals dedicated to the deities in Ancient Egypt were canids. In contrast to the rare textual sources, the abundance of skeletal remains offers the opportunity to address the question of rather wild or domestic canids were mummified. However, species identification from osteolog...

Animals as witnesses of major cultural and environmental changes: 8 millennia of sizes and abundance variation in southern France

Colloques et conférences

Cyprien Mureau et al. (28 août 2024)

Colloques et conférences

Southern France has a long tradition of archaeological research, as well as intensive preventive work over the last 20 years. In this exceptional geographic framework, archaeozoology benefits from a very large and well-contextualised database, but diachronic analyses and socio-economic syntheses bec...

Provenance and trade of smooth scallop (Flexopecten glaber) shells in southern France between the Antiquity and the Middle Ages revealed by geometric morphometrics

Colloques et conférences

Cyprien Mureau et al. (5 juin 2024)

Colloques et conférences

The smooth scallop Flexopecten glaber is an endemic species of the Mediterranean Sea. From the Roman Period onwards, populations of Narbonnese Gaul made it one of the most consumed marine species. The species was harvested from lagoons along the Mediterranean coast and shipped to consumers up to a h...

1. La domestication animale en Archéologie La documentation de l’histoire de la domestication animale en archéologie a hérité d’une définition du terme « domestiquer » issue d’une vision coloniale du monde par les élites européennes du 19e siècle (Stépanoff et Vigne (dir.), 2018). En effet, dans cet...

The smooth scallop Flexopecten glaber is an endemic species of the Mediterranean Sea. From the Roman Period onwards, populations of Narbonnese Gaul made it one of the most consumed marine species along with the flat oyster Ostrea edulis (Bardot, Forest, 2013). These two seafoods have been carried to...

Diversité de l’Orge (Hordeum vulgare L.) dans le Nord-Ouest du Bassin Méditerranéen occidental depuis 8 millénaires d’après l’analyse morphométrique des caryopses archéologiques

Colloques et conférences

Le Néolithique voit la domestication de l'Orge au Proche-Orient et sa diffusion progressive jusque dans l'ouest du Bassin Méditerranéen. Elle y représente depuis une céréale majeure des systèmes agraires. Deux sous-espèces coexistent, Orge à 2 rangs (H. v. subsp.distichum) et à 6 rangs (H. v. subsp....

Morphometric variation of seeds as a tool for tracing barley history: modern diversity and preliminary archaeological results in Lattara (France)

Angèle Jeanty et al. (13 juin 2022)

Colloques et conférences

Following its domestication in the Fertile Crescent, barley spreads into the west of the Mediterranean basin during the Neolithic period and represents today a major cereal in many agrarian systems. Geometric morphometrics, a series of quantitative approaches for studying the size and shape variatio...
