Beskrivning

This volume presents the proceedings of the HOMER 2021 international conference, held in September/October 2021 on the Island of Oléron, France. The conference focused on recent advances in coastal and island archaeology across a wide geographical area, covering the Atlantic north of the equator. From the 55 oral presentations and 24 posters, 49 papers emerged, contributed by scholars from seven countries.The publication showcases the diversity of maritime archaeology, spanning fieldwork to specialized analysis, and from exploratory to synthesis studies. This volume is crucial for the archaeological community as it addresses both methodological issues and the new challenges facing coastal archaeology, reflecting diverse political perspectives.It also presents new research findings, a decade after the Homer 2011 conference was published in 2013 (BAR), and emphasizes the importance of coastal archaeological heritage. The volume engages with current global challenges and serves as a valuable tool for raising awareness among the public and decision-makers about the future of maritime heritage in the face of rising sea levels. It demonstrates that archaeology is a dynamic discipline, adapting daily to political decisions and natural events.Most of the case studies presented are previously unpublished. A key feature of this volume is its diachronic approach, ranging from prehistoric sites to historical ones.

Mer om författaren

Catherine Dupont is an archaeomalacologist and a senior researcher in the CNRS (French national centre for scientific research). She works at the Research Center in Archaeology, Archaeosciences, History (CReAAH) at the Rennes University (France). Her primary research specialism is marine invertebrate and in shell-middens from prehistoric fisher-hunter-gatherers, with a focus on the Atlantic European coasts. She develops methods in the field on shell-middens and analyses on shells in a diachronic perspective from the past to the present day, highlighting the diversity of their uses (food, ornament, dyeing, wall decoration, tools, symbolic items, etc.). Anna Baudry is an archaeozoologist at Inrap (French national Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research) and a member of the CNRS’s CReAAH joint research unit (Center in Archaeology, Archaeosciences, History). Her research focuses on the study of animal resources and the role of meat consumption in Bronze Age and Iron Age cultures of north-western and central-western France. She works on the acquisition, management and consumption of animal resources in populations with territories largely open to the Channel-Atlantic coast (pastoral practices, eating habits, trade circuits, etc.). Marie-Yvane Daire is an archaeologist and senior researcher in the CNRS’s CReAAH joint research unit (Research Center in Archaeology, Archaeosciences, History). Her research focuses on the protohistoric societies of Europe’s Atlantic seaboard. In addition to a growing interest in the exploitation of maritime and coastal resources (fishing, salt, etc.) and a conceptual approach to coastal and island societies, for several years she has been developing a diachronic analysis of the impact of environmental coastal change s and the vulnerability of coastal and island heritage through national, international and collaborative research projects (Arch-Manche, ALeRT, ALOA, etc.). She is also President of AMARAI (Association Manche Atlantique pour la Recherche Archéologique dans les Îles).
