Die Landmauer von Konstantinopel gehört zu den bedeutendsten und größten Wehranlagen der Spätantike. Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt die Baugeschichte und Topographie der Theodosianischen Landmauer und der Blachernen-Mauer (sog. Mauer der XIV. Region, Komnenen-Mauer, Mauerabschnitt zwischen Komnenen-Mauer und Goldenem Horn). Schwerpunkte bilden das theodosianische Baukonzept der Doppelmauer, die Anzahl der theodosianischen Türme, die zeitliche Einordnung des Goldenen Tors und des Rahmenwerks am Vortor, die Baugeschichte der Tore, die Ermittlung der byzantinischen Namen der Tore zwischen dem wiederentdeckten Romanos-Tors und Edirnekapı, die Lokalisierung des Polichnion von Kaiser Ioannes V. Palaiologos (Mermerkule), die Identifizierung weiterer Örtlichkeiten im Bereich der Theodosianischen Mauer (Polyandrion, Myriandrion, Mesoteichion), die Topographie und Baugeschichte der Komnenen-Mauer einschließlich der Identifikation der Tore der Blachernen-Mauer sowie das Problem der letzten Kaiserresidenz von Konstantinopel (Tekfur Sarayı). In weiteren Abschnitten werden das Mauerwerk dokumentiert und untersucht und ein Katalog der Spolien vorgelegt. Zwei Exkurse widmen sich dem spätbyzantinischen Straßensystem von Konstantinopel und zwei Istanbul-Karten von Piri Reis.

"Between 1975 and 1984 almost the entire area of the Roman fort of Segedunum in Wallsend was excavated under the direction of Charles Daniels, senior lecturer in the Department of Archaeology at Newcastle University. It is these excavations which form the subject of this publication. This comprehensive report on the structural remains (Vol. 1) and finds (Vol. 2) show clearly that Daniels' work represented one of the most ambitious and prolonged programs of fieldwork attempted on the northern frontier up to that point and has made Wallsend one of the most fully investigated of Roman forts in Britain. In most areas the remains were not excavated down to natural and so the remains revealed were predominantly those of the 2nd and 3rd centuries, with some late Roman features. Volume 1 describes first the stratigraphic sequences and excavation of the stone and timber buildings of the fort's central range: the granary, hospital, headquarters (principia), commanding officer's house (praetorium), the forehall fronting the principia and granary, and a long narrow building, perhaps a workshop, on the north side of the eastern via principalis. In the case of all but the praetorium these buildings were fully exposed. Later chapters cover the buildings in the northern third of the fort, revealed to be a group of six infantry barracks which underwent several phases of rebuilding and refurbishment including partial replacement by a stable block. Parts 4 and 5 examine the cavalry barracks in the southern part of the fort (retentura) and excavations of sections of the fort defenses on all four sides, particularly of discrete structures such as towers and gates. Volume 2, on the predominantly 2nd-3rd century material culture from the site, looks at the stonework, pottery, coins and small finds recovered. The stonework and ceramic building material provides information on the appearance of the fort and include a very rare stone latrine seat and a bench support. The pottery comprises samian, mortaria, including a large collection stamped by Anaus, amphorae and coarse wares. Other classes of artifact occur in comparatively small numbers, including colorless glass tablewares of the second and third centuries, 295 coins and c. 1000 small finds including some post-Roman pieces. Finally there is a detailed assessment of animal bone assemblages from a cistern and the Commanding Officer's house"--Publisher's summary.

L’industrialisation du xixe siècle a oblitéré la mémoire du Nord : le sud du département fut cependant jusqu’à la Révolution un grand centre européen de production de la pierre : des carrières de l’Ostrevant – région située entre Douai et Valenciennes – des centaines de chariot convoyaient jusqu’aux chantiers douaisiens ou valenciennois la pierre de grès dont les chargements remontaient encore sur de lourdes péniches la Scarpe ou l’Escaut pour alimenter, de Gand à Utrecht, les grandes villes flamandes ou brabançonnes. À travers l’exemple des chantiers de fortification de Douai, l’auteur évoque la politique d’une ville des anciens Pays-Bas en matière de construction. Exploitant un ensemble de sources inédites, il retrace la genèse des fortifications, situe leur place dans l’histoire de l’art et étudie l’organisation et les techniques de construction dans une ville médiévale. La richesse de la documentation rassemblée permet de souligner l’activité exemplaire du bâtiment dans ces régions des anciens Pays-Bas qui explique et annonce – avec son avance technologique – l’essor industriel du xixe siècle.

Deux décennies de recherches sur les mottes castrales de Provence ont apporté des éléments nouveaux sur le phénomène castral qui s’est développé dès la fin du xe siècle. Plus de soixante sites ont été répertoriés et la prospection continue à en révéler de nouveaux. Les fouilles de plusieurs d’entre eux ont permis d’établir une évolution dans les modes d’organisation et de construction de ces petits châteaux. À l’origine, ce furent des établissements très modestes, simples maisons perchées qui nécessitaient assez peu de moyens et des techniques faciles à mettre en œuvre. Dans un second temps, dès l’an Mil toutefois, on relève la construction de véritables forteresses. L’étude de ces premières fortifications s’intéresse à l’occupation des terroirs qui s’organisèrent autour du castrum, souvent mentionné dans les textes. La construction de ces fortifications semble intense autour de l’an Mil et au cours du xie siècle mais certaines ont été érigées au début du xiiie siècle. Les recherches se poursuivent et montrent que les débuts de la fortification privée s’insèrent dans un vaste mouvement d’occupation des terroirs autour de fortifications aux caractères complexes. Two decades of research on Motte-and-Bailey castles in Provence have contributed new elements to our knowledge of the castle phenomenon that developed at the end of the 10th century. More than sixty sites have been recorded and our prospection continues to reveal new ones. The excavation of several of them allowed us to identify the evolution of construction methods and the organization of these small castles. In the beginning, they were very modest edifices consisting of simple perched houses that required relatively few resources and employed techniques that were easy to put into operation. In the second phase, beginning around 1000 AD, we observe the construction of true fortresses. The study of these first fortifications focuses on the occupation of terroirs organized around a castrum, often noted in…
