About the Book

English summary: This book deals with the archeology of ancient landscapes in the Egyptian and Mediterranean regions. Geoarchaeological methodologies have emerged as a major component in any archaeological approaches to better understanding both the dynamics of the establishment of ancient environments and the variety of settlement patterns adopted by human societies. Thirteen contributions are grouped into four parts entitled "Geoarchaeology and reconstitution of the ancient landscape"; "Geographic Information Systems (GIS)"; "Historical Geography"; and "Geoarchaeology Case Studies". The examples highlighted in this book address the following themes: rural site formation; water management strategies; paleo-environment reconstruction; land occupation; and settlement location. The authors give an overview of the complex relationships between landscape dynamics and the logics of human occupation through the results of recent studies carried out in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Greece and Portugal. French description: Le present ouvrage s'interesse a l'archeologie des paysages antiques, en Egypte et sur le pourtour mediterraneen. L'approche geoarcheologique s'est imposee comme une etape majeure de toute demarche archeologique pour mieux comprendre tant la dynamique du peuplement des milieux anciens que les differents systemes d'amenagements proposes par les societes humaines. Treize contributions sont regroupees dans quatre parties intitulees "Geoarcheologie et reconstitution des paysages anciens", "Systemes d'information geographiques (SIG)", "Geographie historique" et "Etudes de cas en geoarcheologie". Ces differents cas d'etude permettent d'aborder les questions suivantes: la formation de sites ruraux, les politiques de gestion de l'eau, la reconstitution des paleoenvironnements, l'occupation des territoires et la localisation du peuplement. Les auteurs dressent un panorama des relations complexes entre les dynamiques et les processus paysagers et les logiques d'occupation humaine a travers l'exemple d'etudes recentes menees en Egypte, en Tunisie, au Maroc, en Grece et au Portugal.
About the Author: Yann Tristant est maitre de conferences a la Macquarie University (Sydney, Australie). Archeologue et protohistorien, il s'interesse a la periode pre- et protodynastique en Egypte et aux relations entre l'homme et son environnement dans le cadre nilotique. Chef de chantier pour l'Ifao a Abou Rawach et dans le Ouadi Araba, ses recherches se portent aussi sur la geoarcheologie du Delta du Nil et de la region de Dendara en Haute-Egypte. Matthieu Ghilardi est charge de recherche au CNRS (CNRS, CEREGE, UM34 & UMR 7330, Aix-en-Provence). Geographe et geomorphologue, il etudie plus particulierement les iles de la Mediterranee (Corse, Chypre, Eubee, Crete, Baleares, Thasos et Sardaigne). Ses recherches portent egalement sur la geoarcheologie des grands fleuves du pourtour mediterraneen, et notamment le Nil dans le secteur de Karnak- Coptos.
