Abstract

Cet ouvrage résulte de rencontres internationales organisées à Paris les 8 et 9 Mars 2016 à l'Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art (INHA) dans le cadre des ateliers du programme européen (ERC advanced grants) RurLand, dirigé par M. Reddé, et dont l'objectif était de définir et mieux appréhender les produits et les modes d'exploitation agricoles dans le nord de la Gaule du deuxième siècle avant J.-C. à la fin de la période romaine. La démarche a consisté à croiser les données archéozoologiques et archéobotaniques disponibles pour le nord de la France, les Pays-Bas, la Suisse, l'Allemagne et le Luxembourg, à des échelles différentes : celles de sites ou d'ensembles de sites, de régions naturelles, de territoires cohérents. Cette somme constitue pour le quart nord-est de la Gaule beaucoup plus qu'un bilan factuel de la documentation disponible. C'est un premier essai d'analyse des systèmes agro-sylvo-pastoraux, qui tente d'évaluer leur efficacité et rentabilité. Les différentes contributions révèlent des situations contrastées d'une territoire à l'autre, mais homogènes à une échelle régionale, en dépit d'un tissu de peuplement très inégal et de modes d'exploitation très variables, au sein desquels les établissements qualifiés de villae n'occupent pas obligatoirement le premier rang.

Abstract

Quaternary of the Levant presents up-to-date research achievements from a region that displays unique interactions between the climate, the environment and human evolution. Focusing on southeast Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Israel, it brings together over eighty contributions from leading researchers to review 2.5 million years of environmental change and human cultural evolution. Information from prehistoric sites and palaeoanthropological studies contributing to our understanding of 'out of Africa' migrations, Neanderthals, cultures of modern humans, and the origins of agriculture are assessed within the context of glacial-interglacial cycles, marine isotope cycles, plate tectonics, geochronology, geomorphology, palaeoecology and genetics. Complemented by overview summaries that draw together the findings of each chapter, the resulting coverage is wide-ranging and cohesive. The cross-disciplinary nature of the volume makes it an invaluable resource for academics and advanced students of Quaternary science and human prehistory, as well as being an important reference for archaeologists working in the region.

Abstract

This book provides an update on the phylogeny, systematics and ecology of horses in South America based on data provided over the past three decades. The contemporary South American mammalian communities were shaped by the emergence of the Isthmus of Panama and by the profound climatic oscillations during the Pleistocene. Horses were a conspicuous group of immigrant mammals from North America that arrived in South America during the Pleistocene. This group is represented by 2 genera, Hippidion and Equus, which include small species (Hippidion devillei, H. saldiasi, E. andium and E. insulatus) and large forms (Equus neogeus and H. principale). Both groups arrived in South America via 2 different routes. One model designed to explain this migration indicates that the small forms used the Andes corridor, while larger horses used the eastern route and arrived through some coastal areas. Molecular dating (ancient DNA) suggests that the South American horses separated from the North American taxa (caballines and the New World stilt-legged horse) after 3.6 - 3.2 Ma, consistent with the final formation of the Panamanian Isthmus. Recent studies of stable isotopes in these horses indicate an extensive range of 13C values cover closed woodlands to C4 grasslands. This plasticity agrees with the hypothesis that generalist species and open biome specialist species from North America indicate a positive migration through South America.
