La prise d'Uxellodunum et la fin tragique de ses défenseurs, dont César fit couper les mains, constituent l'un des derniers épisodes marquants de la guerre des Gaules. En 1866, Napoléon III indiquait dans son Histoire de Jules César que les fouilles faites au Puy d'Issolud, en 1865, ne laissent plus aucun doute sur l'emplacement d'Uxellodunum. Cette affirmation n'a pourtant pas coupé court à une controverse qui occupait les érudits du Lot depuis la Renaissance, bien au contraire. La chute de l'empereur vit la remise en cause de l'ensemble de son oeuvre, y compris en matière d'archéologie, domaine dans lequel il avait été particulièrement actif. Cet ouvrage propose une révision complète du dossier. Il s'appuie sur une enquête menée dans les archives et les réserves de musées, puis sur le terrain de 1997 à 2005. Le site avait sombré dans l'oubli et son débroussaillage révéla un terrain totalement miné par les fouilles anciennes. C'est une pièce essentielle du dossier archéologique des guerres césariennes qui est livrée ici

Am 24. August des Jahres 410 n. Chr. drangen die Goten unter der Führung ihres Königs Alarich in Rom ein und sollen die Stadt drei Tage lang geplündert haben. Diese erste Eroberung Roms seit 800 Jahren löste eine anhaltende Debatte über die Auswirkungen der Konversion des Kaisers zum Christentum aus. Was in jenen Tagen tatsächlich geschah, ist unbekannt. Der vorliegende Tagungsband bietet erstmals eine kritische Synthese der für die Zeit um 410 n. Chr. relevanten archäologischen Befunde Roms und bettet sie in einen breiten historischen Kontext ein.

The Wadi Faynan is a harshly beautiful and desertic landscape in southern Jordan, situated between the hyper-arid deserts of the Wadi 'Arabah and the rugged and wetter Mountains of Edom. Archaeology and Desertification presents the results of the Wadi Faynan Landscape Survey, an inter-disciplinary study of landscape change undertaken in the Wadi Faynan by a team of archaeologists and geographers with the goal of contributing to present-day desertification debates by providing a long-term perspective on the relationship between environmental change and human history. The Wadi Faynan was the focus for some of the earliest farming in the Near East, and the earliest metallurgy, and in Roman times was a centre for copper and lead mining. The project reveals how past communities of farmers, shepherds, and miners managed their challenging environment, the solutions they developed, their successes and failures, and their short- and long-term environmental impacts. The richness of the palaeoclimatic, archaeological and palaeoecological data reveals an environmental/cultural history of complex pathways, synergies, and feedbacks operating at many different geographical scales, rates, and intensities. The project's findings on the complexity of past and present people:environment relations in the Wadi Faynan affirm the power of inter-disciplinary landscape archaeology to contribute significantly to the desertification debate. With global warming likely to threaten the lives of millions of people in the semi-arid and arid lands that comprise over a third of the planet through the course of this century, with potentially dire consequences for adjacent populations in better-watered regions, understanding the complexity of past responses to aridification has never been more urgent.
