Establishing robust and precise chronological frameworks remains a major challenge for archaeological sciences. During the last decades, the possibility of carrying out $^{14}$C measurements on minute quantities of carbon has extended the spectrum of possibilities. In particular it opens opportunities to determine the age of fossil molecules preser...
From 1873 onwards, Scottish antiquarian James Miln (1819–1881) undertook an uninterrupted series of excavations in Carnac, for which he used his skills as a draughtsman and a photographer. The archives and printed sources conserving the traces of his activities thus contain an extensive array of images: sketches drawn in his excavation notebooks; w...

From 250 attendees in person and online, young scholars in Egyptology from different institutions all over the world presented ninety-four papers and twenty-four posters. September 1822 witnessed a milestone...
The familial relationship between skeletons buried together in a shared grave is important for understanding the burial practices of past human populations. Four skeletons were excavated from the Late Antiquity part of the Bled–Pristava burial site in Slovenia, dated to the 5th to 6th century. They were anthropologically characterized as two adults...
This report presents data collected during a systematic regional survey conducted between 2012 and 2016, around Yueliang Lake. The survey focused around the Houtaomuga site, located where the Tao’er River enters the Nen River, in Da’an City and Zhenlai District, in northwest Jilin Province, Northeast China. A total area of 284 km² was surveyed, inc...
From 1942 to 1945 the United States supplied military aid to China to keep the country from being overtaken by the Japanese Empire. As all land and sea routes to China were under Japanese control the only way to deliver aid was by air; this was formally known as The Hump Airlift. Referring to the flight over the Himalayas, The Hump was known for it...
Archaeological dung pellets are time capsules of ancient herbivore diets and gut flora, informing on past agropastoral activity, ecology, and animal health. Improving multi-proxy approaches is key to maximizing this finite archaeological resource. Through experiments with standard pretreatments used in radiocarbon (14C) dating, we address a...
Mandu, ancienne capitale des sultans du Malwa (xve-xvie siècle), est située sur un plateau basaltique surplombant le fleuve Narmada, habité et cultivé principalement par une population tribale. L’eau provient en grande partie d’infrastructures hydrauliques héritées de l’époque médiévale. Elle est pompée pour l’irrigation depuis les années 2000, tar...
Les travaux présentés dans cet article sont issus d’une thèse conduite entre 2019 et 2022. Cette recherche pluridisciplinaire porte sur les effets de l’usage de dispositifs numériques sur l’archéologie comme discipline et sur les archéologues dans leurs pratiques et leurs identités professionnelles. Elle a mobilisé et étudié de nombreuses sources d...
