L’Homme ! Voilà le cœur du sujet pour ce numéro 17 des Chroniques d’Altaride, la revue rôliste gratuite et mensuelle. Pour octobre, nous vous proposons d’entrer dans la tête de ces messieurs pour tenter de comprendre ce qui s’y passe quand ils jouent autour d’une table… Et quand ces dames se mettent à jeter des dés avec eux. Ça cogite aussi au niveau de la définition du jeu de rôle comme du rôle des hommes, de la musique, de la crise de la quarantaine ou même un peu sur les conventions à venir. Parce que le jeu de rôle, c’est avant tout une histoire de rencontres. Et d’ailleurs les Chroniques d’Altaride vous invite à une rencontre des Altariens aux Caves Alliées, le deuxième mercredi de chaque mois, à partir de 19h (Paris VIe). Alors dévorez ces 17e numéro et venez nous en parler !
This first monograph in the EARTH series, The dynamics of non-industrial agriculture: 8,000 years of resilience and innovation, approaches the great variety of agricultural practices in human terms. It focuses on the relationship between plants and people, the complexity of agricultural processes and their organisation within particular communities and societies. Collaborative European research among archaeologists, archaeobotanists, ethnographers, historians and agronomists using a broad analytical scale of investigation seeks to establish new common ground for integrating different approaches. By means of interdisciplinary examples, this book showcases the relationship between people and plants across wide ranging and diverse spatial and temporal milieus, including crop diversity, the use of wild foodstuffs, social context, status and choices of food plants.
This book combines findings from archaeology and anthropology on the making, use and distribution of hand-made pottery, the rhythms of mobility involved and the transformations triggered by such processes, discussing different theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches.

But paleolithic cave paintings, stunning as they are, form just a part of a story that begins with the arrival of the first humans to Europe 1.3 million years ago, and culminates in the achievements of Greece and Rome. In Europe before Rome, T. Douglas Price takes readers on a guided tour through dozens of the most important prehistoric sites on the continent, from very recent discoveries to some of the most famous and puzzling places in the world, like Chauvet, Stonehenge, and Knossos. This volume focuses on more than 60...
Discusses both the revolutionary cultural, social, and economic impact of Bronze Age textile production in Europe and innovative methodologies for future studies.
There is evidence that ever since early prehistory, textiles have always had more than simply a utilitarian function. Textiles express who we are - our gender, age, family affiliation, occupation, religion, ethnicity and social, political, economic and legal status. Besides expressing our identity, textiles protect us from the harsh conditions of the environment, whether as clothes or shelter. We use them at birth for swaddling, in illness as bandages and at death as shrouds. We use them to carry and contain people and things. We use them for subsistence to catch fish and animals and for transport as sails. In fact, textiles represent one of the earliest human craft technologies and they hav...
