This book uses macrobotanical analysis (charcoal and seeds/grains) from Later Stone Age sites in Botswana and Namibia to address past climatic and environmental conditions in Southern Africa during the Holocene period, c. 2000 BP. One of its main objectives is to comprehend subsistence and overall socio-economic stratagems of human communities vis-à-vis their vegetal milieu. The majority of Southern Africa has comparatively few archaeobotanical studies, so this is the first archaeobotanical research from the site of Toteng and Botswana. Hence, this study draws equally from ethnographic inferences to understand current plant distribution and utilisation, which was achieved by using data collected among the San and Damara communities, found in the Erongo region, Namibia. Finally, a botanical reference collection was developed in order to facilitate the macrobotanical identification process, as well as to contribute to the initial reference bank that will later be developed for future research.0.

Ce dossier réunit 21 études portant sur la ville antique de Reims et relevant de disciplines et de domaines de recherche variés. Outre la présentation attendue des résultats des dernières grandes fouilles rémoises, notamment les opérations menées en amont des travaux du tramway et celle réalisée en contexte humide sur le site du boulevard Dr Henri-Henrot, certaines interventions antérieures, demeurées jusqu'alors quasiment inédites, font l'objet d'une publication à l'exemple du complexe monumental de la rue Belin. Un bilan des connaissances est ainsi mis à disposition, offrant de nouveaux éclairages sur l'exploitation des ressources végétales et du milieu naturel, particulièrement pour la construction. Au coeur de la ville, plusieurs équipements publics sont évoqués tels que les édifices de spectacle et lieux de culte localisés dans un secteur clé de l'agglomération antique situé en périphérie nord (amphithéâtre et temples des rues Belin et Lecointre). Les formes de l'habitat urbain, qu'il soit aristocratique ou plus modeste, sont ensuite étudiées avant une mise en exergue de quelques mobiliers singuliers (vaisselle en bronze et argent, figurine, cachet à collyres), puis une exploration des traces laissées par plusieurs activités de production (métallurgie, artisanats du textile et du cuir, travail du verre). Toutes ces contributions renforcent l'importance qu'avait Reims en tant que capitale de la province de Gaule Belgique et grande place économique, et composent un dossier d'un intérêt majeur en matière d'archéologie et d'histoire urbaine des Gaules et des Germanies romaines.

"In this book, Lee A. Newsom offers an overview of wood in archaeology - how and where it is preserved and analyzed, its relevance to paleoecological and paleoenvironmental questions, as well as its role as an important source of information in modern archaeological science and related historical disciplines. Her book addresses a range of questions about wood reliance practices, sustainability, and the overall relevance of forest ecosystems to past cultures and cultural evolution. Newsom provides a step-by-step treatment of archaeological analysis with clear explanations and examples from various corners of the world. She also shows how the study of archaeological wood is relevant to modern restoration ecology and conservation biology that tracks long-term ancient ecosystems, including questions of global change. Demonstrating the vital role of wood and timber resources to past human societies, her book will interest scholars and students of archaeology, historical ecology, paleoecology, and wood science"--
