PROGRESS IN THE RESEARCH PROJECTS

Resumption of excavations in the Moustier deposit within the framework of the NéMo Project Resumption of excavations in the Moustier deposit within the framework of the NéMo Project

Within the framework of the NéMo Project, excavations have been resumed on the Moustier site in the Dordogne, a world-famous site listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These excavations are being carried out by teams from the PACEA and IRAMAT-CRP2A laboratories, and the main aims are to understand the archaeological sequence better, and to carry out new dating on the levels where – notably – Neanderthal tombs were discovered.

The production of ceramics in the ancient Mediterranean world: the example of IberiaThe production of ceramics in the ancient Mediterranean world: the example of Iberia

Ceramic items provide the opportunity, among other things, to study the cultural and socio-economic functioning of ancient societies, but we have considered aspects linked to the manufacturing of pottery more rarely, and those linked to the general framework of production, more rarely still.

Saint-Martin-de-Bruch has not yet yielded all its secrets...Saint-Martin-de-Bruch has not yet yielded all its secrets...

This year again, and for the third consecutive year, the excavation site at Saint-Martin-de-Bruch in Lot-et-Garonne has revealed many surprises. This site, known since the 1960s, confirmed by INRAP in 2005, has only really been investigated in the last three years (excavations programmed from 2011 to 2013). It was first occupied in ancient times by a Gallo-Roman villa, reused from the 6 th century to house a Merovingian necropolis, and may have been used up to the Carolingian era (10 th century).

NEMO: Neanderthal Man facing death: funeral cultures/practicesNEMO: Neanderthal Man facing death: funeral cultures/practices

The NEMO project aims to understand the relation between the technical and economic traditions and the human remains during the Middle Palaeolithic period. The objective is to establish a new record of knowledge of the societies of the Middle Palaeolithic period in Western Europe, where human remains will not be considered as elements detached from their archaeological context.

Gascon Rolls onlineGascon Rolls online

The “Gascon Rolls online” project is a vast programme of publishing the Gascon Rolls and putting them online. They are an exceptional documentary source from the English Chancery Court, preserved in the National Archives (London). This documentary source is vital for the knowledge of the Middle Ages in Aquitaine, and especially for the understanding of the dynamics of territorialisation in Aquitaine during the Hundred Years War.
