Ayn Soukhna III : le complexe de galeries-magasins : rapport archéologique /
: Storage gallery complexes can now be considered a major characteristic of the pharaonic 'periodic harbours' that have been successively identified on the sites of Mersa Gawasis, Ayn Soukhna and Wadi el-Jarf. In between two expeditions, those caves were used to store the sailing equipement, and especially dismantled boats waiting for their next use. The systematic excavation of this whole Ayn Soukhna cave complex has allowed a better understanding of this site's purpose thank to the discovery, in two of those galleries, of remains of boats that were carefully stored there before being destroyed by fire. It also shows the long use of the harbour by the Egyptians, between the Old Kingdom and the Middle Kingdom. The archaeological work in Ayn Soukhna was led in the framework of a joint project of the IFAO, the Ismai�lia University and the Paris-Sorbonne University (CNRS UMR 8167). -- publisher's website. : 348 pages : illustrations (some color), map, plans ; 33 cm. : Includes bibliographical references. : 9782724706925
Volubilis après Rome : les fouilles UCL/INSAP, 2000-2005 /
:
Le site archéologique le plus visité au Maroc, Volubilis est connu depuis longtemps pour ses mosaïques spectaculaires. Ce livre traite de ce qui est arrivé à la ville après le retrait de l'administration romaine à la fin du troisième siècle. Les fouilles publiées ici montrent comment la ville a continué à survivre jusqu'au cinquième siècle, avec des maisons d'élite commandant encore des mosaïques élégantes, et comment cette occupation a pris fin dans un séisme brutal. La ville renaît au sixième siècle avec de nouveaux occupants, la tribu berbère des Awraba. Au VIIIe siècle, il devint le siège de l'homme qui unit la plus grande partie du Maroc à la tête de l'Awraba, Idris I, descendant du prophète Mahomet. The most-visited archaeological site in Morocco, Volubilis has long been known for its spectacular mosaics. Instead, this book deals with what happened to the town after the Roman administration was withdrawn at the end of the third century. The excavations published here show how the town continued to survive into the fifth century, with élite houses still commissioning elegant and witty mosaics, and how this occupation came to an end in a brutal earthquake. The town revived in the sixth century with new occupants, the Berber Awraba tribe. In the eighth century, it became the headquarters of the man who united most of Morocco at the head of the Awraba, Idris I, a descendant of the prophet Mohammed.

Les animaux et l'histoire d'Alexandrie antique et médiévale : étude archéozoologique d'après les fouilles du CEAlex (1993-2009) /
:
Ce volume propose une analyse des relations entre les populations humaines et les animaux à Alexandrie dans l'Antiquité et au Moyen Âge. L'étude archéozoologique s'appuie sur 32 000 restes fauniques (os, dents, coquilles) mis au jour sur sept sites fouillés par le Centre d'Études Alexandrines dans l'antique quartier du Brouchion. De nombreux aspects de la vie domestique alexandrine sont explorés. Les pratiques alimentaires de ces populations de cultures grecque, romaine et musulmane y sont décrites. Les analyses quantitatives fournissent des éléments de discussion sur la place des animaux de l'élevage, des produits de la pêche et de la chasse dans le régime carné. L'étude des objets fabriqués en os, en coquille de mollusque et en corail, pose les bases d'une réflexion sur l'exploitation des matières dures d'origine animale et de leurs usages dans l'espace urbain antique et médiéval d'Alexandrie. Enfin, des espèces originaires du continent européen et de la région indo-pacifique sont des témoignages précieux des réseaux d'échanges commerciaux du passé. Cette analyse croisée entre les ossements animaux, les sources textuelles et archéologiques ouvre une fenêtre nouvelle sur l'histoire d'Alexandrie

Tombes d'époque parthe : chantiers de la ville des artisans /
:
Among the hundred or so tombs of post-Alexander date excavated by Roman Ghirshman between 1947 and 1952 on the mound of the "Ville des Artisans" at Susa, six are remarkable for their construction and burial contents. Shortly before his death in 1979, Ghirshman, director of the French "Mission de Suse" from 1946 until 1968, had started to write up his final report. Based on his notes, the authors have engaged to publish these tombs, together with the original plans, drawings and photographs of the burial goods. The grave contents consisted mainly of pottery, but also included glass vessels, figurines, metal objects and other small finds. The study of the material from these large vaulted subterranean structures indicates that they were most likely intended as family tombs, thus remaining in use for several decades and should be dated in the first or second century AD. Similar tombs are known at other sites in the region of Susa, and even in Mesopotamia, e.g. at Seleucia on the Tigris. A synthesis of the evolution in tomb architecture and typology, as well as the burial practices, for the whole site of Susa between the Seleucid and early Sasanian periods (third century BC to third century AD), is also presented, based on the short reports and unpublished excavation notes of Ghirshman, in addition to unpublished reports by his predecessors at the site.
