The Noheda archaeological site is unique and exceptional for its size, and the quality and conservation condition of the Roman mosaic pavement covering its urban pars. In 2008 a tent was installed as protection from rain and sun. Being of interest to characterise the microclimate of the remains, six probes with relative humidity and temperature sensors were installed in 2013 for this purpose. M...

Preventive conservation requires monitoring and control of the parameters involved in the deterioration process, mainly temperature and relative humidity. It is important to characterise an archaeological site prior to carrying out comparative studies in the future for preventive conservation, either by regular studies to verify whether the conditions are constant, or occasional ones when the b...

during archaeological survey in 2003, a unique pedestal has been found in a farm in owjtapeh (bukān) which, upon its artistic features, seemed to belong to iron age iii and to the site of qalaychi. this pedestal has been transferred to its present place after illegal excavations. there cannot be found a similar pedestal in iran, but there are some comparable samples in assyrian sites and inscri...

Feral swine are well known as environmentally destructive invasive animals in many areas around the world, where they degrade native habitats, harm rare plant and animal species, damage agricultural interests, and spread disease. We provide the first quantification of their potential as agents of disturbance at archaeological sites. Our study was conducted in south-central Florida at Avon Park ...

The article presents the first results of a comprehensive study new archaeological site Surungur in Fergana Valley. Interdisciplinary research was conducted 2018—2019 by an international Russian-Kyrgyz expedition. direct archeological work at preceded geophysical surveys, which helped to identify most promising areas for future research. excavations made it possible series fire places, obtain r...

Archaeological applications of foraging theory models require that variables derived from ecological considerations be translated into archaeological terms. Here, we explore some of the potential difficulties that may exist in the archaeological measurement of diet breadth, a key variable in many foraging theory approaches. We then examine seven ungulate assemblages from the early Upper Palaeol...

We present here the first step of an interdisciplinary work dealing with underwater photogrammetry and archaeological data management. In the framework of a phd project we develop a set of tools from underwater data capture to 3D underwater GIS for archaeological excavation. The phd project, managed by Julien Seinturier, is monitored by Odile Papini for the data fusion aspect and Pierre Drap fo...
