Bronze Age and Early Iron Hoards and single depositions in rivers, lakes and bogs but also mountains and along old paths have been discussed over years. Whereas they were still in the 1970s considered as hidden treasures, in the last 30 years a lot of studies showed the regularities of hoard contents, the non-functional treatment of the objects and many other details which speak for ritual deposition. Meanwhile, most specialists would agree that if not all but the great majority of metal hoards was deposited by religious reasons in the broadest sense. This paradigm change makes Bronze Age hoards a cultural phenomenon which links most regions in Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals and to the Caucasus from Scan- dinavia to Greece between 2200 and 500 BC and in many regions also thereafter.

  • Climate Change Incidence on the Rhone River Hydrology
    TECHNICAL SYNTHESIS CLIMATE CHANGE INCIDENCE ON THE RHONE RIVER HYDROLOGY LLANES Alexandre E-mail: [email protected] February 2008 AgroParisTech - Engref à Montpellier B.P.7355_34086 MONTPELLIER Cedex 4 Tél. (33) 4 67 04 71 00 Fax. (33) 4 67 04 71 01 1 RESUME Le changement climatique est aujourd’hui considéré comme une réalité par les scientifiques. Toutefois, les liens de causalité entre changement climatique et modifications des régimes hydrologiques sont difficiles à établir. A cette difficulté perceptible s’ajoute la complexité du fonctionnement du régime hydrologique et climatique du Rhône. Dans ce contexte d’incertitude la société BRL, gestionnaire et distributrice de l’eau du Rhône en Languedoc Roussillon, s’interroge sur la disponibilité et la vulnérabilité de la ressource en eau pour les années à venir. MOTS CLES : Changement climatique, hydrologie, Rhône, étiages, BRL, vulnérabilité de la ressource. ABSTRACT Climatic change is widely considered as a reality by scientists. Nevertheless, impacts of hydrological extremes are more difficult to observe and to predict. It is shown how the possible change in the characteristics of precipitations, associated TO climatic change, could alter the river flows in the basin of the Rhone River particularly for summer and the lowest water levels. In this uncertain context, the BRL Company, distributor of Rhone water in Languedoc-Roussillon, investigates the future availability and vulnerability of the resource. KEY WORDS : Climate change, hydrology, Rhone, lowest water level, availability,

  • A Genetic Signal of Central European Celtic Ancestry: Preliminary Research Concerning Y-Chromosomal Marker S28 (Part 2)
    A Genetic Signal of Central European Celtic Ancestry: Preliminary Research Concerning Y-Chromosomal Marker S28 (Part 2) Hallstatt Culture: 720 to 600 BC and 600 BC to 480 BC (Ha C and D) This interval represents a time of major changes in Europe, in the regions once characterized by the Pfyn and related cultures with roots extending back to the Neolithic, and the Urnfield groups which would morph into the peoples of the Hallstatt tradition with their characteristic elite burials. Artist rendition of typical rich Hallstatt inhumation burials Kristiansen (1998) proposes that the movement of Hallstatt C warrior elite spread across Central and Western Europe, at a time when trade routes to the north diminished. However those in the eastern tier maintained links to the Lusatian culture and the Baltic regions, with a continued emphasis on trade in amber and mining of salt in the immediate surrounds of Hallstatt in Austria. Hallstatt is actually at the southeastern tip of what was a very large oval shaped territory with the center of gravity northwest of the Alps. In Reinecke’s system of dating, this period is known as Hallstatt C and D. Hallstatt C (earliest phase) is characterized by rich horse and wagon burials (containing ornate horse tack) and includes the region from western Hungary to the Upper Danube. Hallstatt D is represented by a chiefdom zone and elite burials further to the west, with settlements concentrated near the headwaters of every major river from the Loire, to the Seine, Rhone, Rhine and Danube. The geographical re-alignment was likely a function of the establishment of a Greek (Phoecian) trading center in Massilia (Marseilles), circa 600 BC.

It is a long-term project, planned until 2030. Located between two rivers, Rhône and Saône, and long restricted to industry and transport facilities, the Perrache peninsula is undergoing a transformation. The impacts on Lyon vitality and way of life for the Greater Lyon’s inhabitants are significant. And that’s why it represents a great challenge that the city should overcome. We propose another view of this project which was a building & land use approach: study of the whole urban renewal operation.
