Different Times? Archaeological and environmental data from
intra-site and off-site sequences brings together seven papers from
Session II-8 of the XVIII UISPP Congress (Paris, 4-9 June 2018).
The session questioned temporal correlations between intra-site and
off-site data in archaeology-related contexts. The word 'site'
describes here archaeological sites or groups of sites - usually
settlements - that have undergone research in recent years and
produced information on the duration and timing of human presence.
Comparison with evidence from geomorphological and
paleoenvironmental research conducted at various distances from
settlements gives some interesting results, such as 'missing'
occupation periods, distortions in human presence intensity through
space as well as time, variability in explanations concerning the
abandonment of settlements, etc. Examples presented here highlight:
first, discrepancies between time records within built areas used
for living and the surrounding lands used for other activities
(cultivation, herding, travelling, etc); second, discrepancies
produced by the use of different 'time markers' (ie.
chronostratigraphy of archaeological layers or pottery evolution on
the one hand, sedimentary or pollen sequences on the other hand).
Although improving the resolution of individual data is essential,
the authors argue that the joint and detailed examination of
evidence produced together by human and natural scientists is more
important for reaching a reliable reconstruction of past people's
activities. Both the session and the volume stem from the Working
Group 'Environmental and Social Changes in the Past' (Changements
environnementaux et societes dans le passe) in the research
framework of the Cluster of Excellence 'Dynamite' (Territorial and
Spatial Dynamics) of the University Paris 1-Pantheon-Sorbonne
(ANR-11-LABX-0046, Investissements d'Avenir).
