Conservation et transformation du patrimoine vivant by Pierre-Marie Tricaud

“…The jury’s reports, the account and the discussions during this viva were less interested in this overall position, upon which opinions seem to be divided, than on the terms of the implementation of this transmission-transformation – which were supposed to be developed in the last part of this thesis, from the four case studies (vineyards of the worldwide heritage, Loire Valley, roads, the Bièvre’s re-opening). Here are notably tackled the place of these case studies, the question of the disciplinary field, the definition of living heritage, the roles of the protagonists, and also the pertinence and the range of the notion of "re-employment" that the thesis offers.…”

Élaboration d’un cadre chronostratigraphique pour le Pléistocène de la région Centre-Val de Loire (France) : présentation du projet de recherche et des premiers résultats by Céline Coussot, Morgane Liard

“…Over the past years, the preventive archaeological investigations carried out by the French institute Inrap in the Centre-Val de Loire Region of France, have revealed Pleistocene sequences of silt in the Beauce area and of alluvia southward in the Loire valley around the city of Orléans. The stratigraphic correlations observed between the different sequences of each area have revealed the need to establish a regional chronostratigraphic framework for this period, little known until now.A research group, supported by Inrap and made up of geomorphologists and prehistorians working within the framework of preventive archeology, was thus constituted in order to propose a first synthesis of the studied stratigraphies.In the absence of absolute dating, this work relies mainly on facies analogies with reference sequences, established in the Centre-Val de Loire region for alluvial records and in the north of France for silt records.The medium-term objectives are to define regional benchmark horizons that enable the identification of pleistocene stratigraphic sequences from the archaeological survey phase, with a view to the detection of Palaeolithic sites as well as to understand how the major pedological and morphogenic Pleistocene episodes appear within the silt and alluvial superficial formations.…”

Un aménagement de berge antique sur l’Auron, pour la villa de Lazenay à Bourges (Cher) by Alain Ferdière, Emmanuel Marot

“…However, this riverbank development and the monumentalisation that it provides to this riverside villa also highlight the significant commercial role of the city of Bourges –the port on the Yèvre river according to the etymology of Avaricum–, in the centre of Gaul, the main boundary between the eastern and the western part of Gaul. the Yèvre river, of which the Auron river is a tributary, provides a connection with the Cher river and a connection between the Rhône-Saône axis and the lower Loire valley by avoiding the long detour of the Loire bend passing through Orléans/Cenabum.…”
