These proceedings include eight presentations. Two of them focus on
the role played by the river axes and the geography of river basins
as factors of circulation and settlement of Palaeolithic hunter
gatherers on the European scale (Francois Djindjian) and in the
surroundings of the Jura Mountains (Gerald Bereiziat and Harald
Floss). Jose Javier Pina Abellan describes how the central valley
of the River Jabalon (Ciudad Real, Spain) was peopled in the course
of the second millennium B.C., and how the inhabitants still
maintain a close link to the hydrography. Frederic Cruz and
Christophe Petit provide new insights into the organization of the
princely residences' territories of the late Hallstatt era in the
North-Western region of the Alps, taking into account their
relationship to the environment, and especially the distance from
the valleys. Ana Lucia Herberts documents how river crossings and
related drainage structures played a crucial role in setting cattle
trails in Brazil to drive the cattle from their pasture lands to
the major market places in remote cities. A 3-D modelling using
LiDAR altimetry has been used by Sabine Schellberg, Benoit Sittler,
and Werner Konold to reconstruct water meadows that were used in
historical times in the upper Rhine Valley. In their paper,
Sandrine Robert and Helene Noizet develop, as an example
illustrating resilience, how an ancient meander of the River Seine,
which was filled in Antiquity, still dictates the layout of the
network of the streets of Paris. Lastly, Martin Orgaz and Norma
Ratto addressed the social construction of landscapes by relating
Inca sites to the Tinogasta region (Catamarca, Argentina) rivers
whose visual features (the colour red) may be regarded as a factor
that governed the selection of sites.
