"New Guinea, and especially Papua New Guinea, is the last country in the world where ethnologists were able to closely observe, film and photograph the whole manufacturing chaînes opératoires of polished stone felling tools, from quarry extraction to finished tool use. Research on the polished blades of PNG has evolved over the years, following changing philosophies and research agendas. While it is clear that an exceptional sum of information has been gathered, it remains centered on that small part of the Highlands where conditions for field research were more pleasant than elsewhere. Our presentation of Irian Jaya axes therefore tackles a topic that remains mostly unexplored. Until now, stone tool research in New Guinea has followed an anthropocentric approach, in which tools are seen more as vectors for social exchanges than as means of acting on the environment. This monograph will take a different approach. Here, polished stone blades are placed at the center of the world, between, on one side, the transformed natural environment, and, on the other, the social and economic environment. This approach will allow us to suggest new avenues of inference in archaeology, as well as to test and abandon existing ones.In this volume, the stone blade is considered as a living being, existing in balance within its biotope. This idea is not far removed from the beliefs of Irian Jaya farmers, for whom life animates certain objects of their material culture. Following a brief presentation of Irian Jaya, we will describe the function of polished stone blades in Irian Jaya societies and the distribution of hafting styles, define and study the quarrying zones and the areas of diffusion and use of their production, and, if possible, the different trends noted in each area of polished blade production and exchanges. Finally, we will conclude with a discussion of the ethnoarchaeological potential of these contemporary observations"--

Depuis huit millénaires au moins, les sociétés agricoles ont considéré le sel comme une source de vie et de richesse dont l'origine s'inscrivait dans les mythes. Les approches croisées des ethnologues, des archéologues, des historiens et des environnementalistes permettent aujourd'hui de renouveler profondément nos connaissances sur l'exploitation généralisée de l'eau de mer, des sources salées, des terres salées et du sel gemme. Ainsi, d'extraordinaires techniques ont été mises en œuvre, tandis que les logiques sociales plaçaient le sel au centre des systèmes de croyance, un peu partout dans le monde. Les vingt-quatre contributions regroupées dans cet ouvrage ont été présentées en octobre 2006 lors d'un colloque international du bicentenaire de la mort de Claude Nicolas Ledoux, l'architecte génial de la Saline Royale d'Arc-et-Senans. Rompant avec les limites entre disciplines scientifiques et les cloisonnements géographiques, les auteurs proposent une nouvelle lecture de l'exploitation du sel en abordant la longue durée, depuis la Chine et le Mexique préhispanique jusqu'à l'Europe préhistorique, ou encore des salines médiévales continentales au sel antique méditerranéen. C'est donc d'histoire technique et sociale qu'il s'agit, en relation avec les modifications environnementales.
