This unique collection of essays contains a synthesis of recent
works by distinguished archaeologists and historians in their
field, illuminating extensive research in the Southern Gaul and on
the territory of the Greek city of Marseille. Investigating the
occupation of Massalia territory before the foundation of the Greek
city to the Roman period, these findings provide an overview of the
diverse issues behind the circulations between Greeks from Phocaea
and Celtic populations. This reflection on a key region of the
Euro-Mediterranean space rests on the analysis of archaeological
findings, including: urban excavations, spatial studies, analysis
of necropolis, submarine remains, paleo-environmental data, and
reviewing the ancient literary documentation. These new and
innovative findings in Greek Marseille and Mediterranean Celtic
Region will be of particular interest to both students and scholars
exploring the political, economic and cultural fields of
relationships between the Greek migrants and the populations they
started to meet at the end of the seventh century BC.
From Hydrology to Hydroarchaeology in the Ancient Mediterranean: An
interdisciplinary approach is devoted to the study of water
management in ancient cities. It compares the approaches and
methods adopted by researchers from different disciplinary sectors
to identify the water conditions of past societies and to highlight
the measures they have taken to adapt to their water resources.
Deriving from an interdisciplinary meeting held in Aix-en-Provence
(Mediterranean House of Human Sciences) in 2019, it brings together
seven articles that present the innovative results of
collaborations between archaeologists and environmental scientists,
geologists, geomorphologists, and climatologists in particular.
After an introduction that situates the discussions conducted in
Aix-en-Provence within the framework of the Watertraces project,
funded by the A*Midex foundation (Aix-Marseille University), most
of the articles focus on the Sicilian situation. An initial
synthesis covers all aspects of the question, followed by four case
studies ranging from the 4th century BC to the 1st century AD. Case
studies on Agrigento, Termini Imerese/Thermai Himerenses,
Alesa/Halaesa, Solunte and Tyndaris are presented. The focus then
moves to southern Italy (the Terme di Baia), and to Aegean Greece
(the sanctuary at Delphi).
