Vous êtes un habitué des sites et des musées archéologiques ? Alors ce livre est fait pour vous ! En professionnelle confirmée, Anne Lehoërff, après avoir raconté l'histoire des premiers archéologues et des grandes découvertes depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle, décrit les méthodes d'enquête et les étapes de la chaîne opératoire en archéologie. Enseignants du primaire ou du secondaire, étudiants, acteurs des politiques d'aménagement au contact de l'archéologie préventive, amateurs des Journées du patrimoine et des Journées nationales de l'archéologie ou simplement férus de vieilles pierres, vous trouverez dans ce guide tout ce qu'il faut savoir en matière d'archéologie. Vous y apprendrez, par exemple, que la loi française interdit de fouiller son jardin.

This collection of papers by an international chort of contributors explores the nature of the maritime connections that appear to have existed in the Transmanche/English Channel Zone during later prehistory. Organised into three themes, Movement and Identity in the Transmanche Zone ; Travel and exchange ; Identity and Landscape , the papers seek to articulate notions of frontier, mobility and identity from the end of the 3rd to the beginning of the 1st millennium BC, a time when the archaeological evidence suggests that the sea facilitated connections between peoples on both sides of the Channel rather than acting as a barrier as it is so often perceived today. Recent decades have since a massive increase in large-scale excavation programmes on either side of the Channel in advance of major infra-structure and urban development, resulting in the acqusition of huge, complex new datasets enabling new insights into later prehistoric life in this crucially important region. Papers consider the role of several key archaeologists in transforming our appreciation of the connectivity of the sea in prehistory; consider the extent to which the Channel zone developed into a closely unified cultural zone during later Bronze Age in terms of communities that serviced the movement of artefacts across the Channel with both sides sharing widely in the same artefacts and social practices; examine funerary practices and settlement evidence and consider the relationship between communities in social, cultural and ideological terms; and consider mechanisms for the transmission of ideas and how they may be reflected in the archaeological record.
