Monnaies et monétarisation dans les campagnes de la Gaule du Nord et de l'Est, de l'âge du fer à l'Antiquité tardive


Book Description

"D'un côté, on trouverait les citadins, le monde marchand et l'économie monétaire ; de l'autre, des campagnards autarciques pratiquant le troc, n'utilisant la monnaie qu'en de rares occasions. Encore répandue, cette vision de l'économie antique est pourtant mise à mal depuis quelques décennies par les progrès de la recherche archéologique. En se fondant sur ces données récentes, dont certaines inédites, cet ouvrage cherche à comprendre comment la monnaie circulait dans le monde rural de la Gaule du Nord. Le problème est abordé dans une série d'études de cas couvrant largement la moitié nord de la France, la Suisse, la Belgique, ainsi que le Luxembourg, l'Allemagne et les Pays-Bas. L'étude est menée sur la longue durée, depuis le IIe s. a.C. jusqu'au Ve s. p.C., afin d'évaluer au mieux les effets de la conquête romaine, puis du passage du Principat à l'Antiquité tardive. Contributions en français et en anglais."--Page 4 of cover.




Terra 2008


Book Description

Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.
