Such memoirs are by nature subjective and complete adherence to the truth should not be expected, especially if the author had written memoranda with at least one eye on the future record.

  • Urbanlsatlon in Atlantlc EUROPE in the Lron AGE
    URBANlSATlON IN ATLANTlC EUROPE IN THE lRON AGE by John COLLlS Professor, Departament of Archaeology and Prehistory. University, Sheff ield, England In this paper I shall primarily be considering central and northern France and Britain in the two centuries before the Roman conquest. In France this is essentially the second and beginning of the first century BC, ending with Caesar's conquest of Gaul in 58-51 BC; in Britain it will concern the first century BC and the first half of the first century AD -the south of England was invaded in 42-43 AD, but the north was only conquered about a generation later. I shall also use the term <.urbanisation)>in a loose way. Though many would accept that some of the oppida mentioned by Caesar had many characteristics we associate with urban sities, -centres of trade, industry and administration- in the late lron Age there are many other sites and settlement systerns which were almost as complex as urbanised societies, and perhaps on the threshold of urbanisation. Though terms like <<urban)>or :(states>are useful terms to categorise societies and allow cross-comparison with other complex societies in time and space, and aiso give us clues about the key features which we should be investigating, our aim should not be to provide labels or typologies but to understand how societies fuctioned and changed. To argue whether a certaín site is urban or not is a pointless exerciese in itself, especially as for archaeologists many key areas of information, such as legal status of a site, are not recorded in the archaeological record.

Both are peripheral French regions with cultural identities markedly different from that of the overarching French norm, and both have been historically subject to ridicule from the political and cultural centre. By comparing a fair selection of bandes dessinées which are either set in Brittany or Corsica or feature characters from the relevant regions, this thesis sets out to discover whether representations of Brittany and Corsica differ according to the origin of the creators of the bandes dessinées and, if so, how. To facilitate this analysis, the bandes dessinées included for study have been classified as either external representations (published by mainstream bande dessinée publishers and/or the work of creators originating from outside the two regions) or internal representations (published by local Breton or Corsican companies and/or the work of local creators).

A disjoncteur, which is found in all French homes, protects against overloading and surges caused by lightning. So if the electricity goes off and the disjoncteur switch (in the cupboard by the front door) is DOWN, put it back up and all should be light. During a thunderstorm, you are strongly advised to unplug any electronic equipment you may have, such as laptop computers, radios, rechargeable razors, etc.. Storms can be violent (they’re also well worth watching) and lightning causes power surges (“spikes” or “transients”) as transmission lines are long and above ground, unlike in urban areas not prone to summer storms. Fuses are the modern automatic trip type. Spare light bulbs are usually under the sink. A torch is by the front door. There is 250 litres of hot water, electrically heated 24 hours a day, which should mean it is constantly available. The wood burner is regulated by the air inlet in the door, and the number of logs you put in.
