La place des restes humains au sein de l’étude des sépultures préhistoriques : approche épistémologique et historique du XIXe siècle à nos jours

L’archéologie de la mort s’intéresse à la gestion des morts et de la mort par les populations du passé. Pour les temps reculés de la Préhistoire, les principaux vestiges de cadavres à disposition sont les ossements. Cependant, l’histoire de la discipline révèle que ces restes osseux n’ont pas toujours constitué les principaux objets scientifiques sur lesquels les archéologues et préhistoriens ont construit leurs interprétations des sépultures préhistoriques. Ils s’appuyaient essentiellement ..

THE MESOLITHIC SITE OF LES FIEUX (MIERS, LOT): a Hunting Camp on the Gramat Karst Plateau?

The Mesolithic site located in the western entrance of the cave of Les Fieux (Miers, Lot), excavated in the 1970’s by F. Champagne, has often been interpreted as a hunting camp. This hypothesis is mostly based on features of the lithic industry, which is largely dominated by weapon elements. The results of a multidisciplinary study of the Mesolithic assemblages now provide an opportunity to question the validity of this hypothesis. While the data collected (in the fields of anthracology, zooarchaeology, carpology, lithic technology and usewear, bone technology, sedimentology, etc.), do not completely invalidate it, they do suggest a few nuances. The activities identified are more varied than would be expected for a simple hunting camp, as are the animal carcass exploitation strategies, indicating an in situ consumption of animal products and thus a functional complexity that is not fully compatible with this interpretation

Artificial Neural Network based surrogate modelling for multi-objective optimisation of geological CO2 storage operations

AbstractAn Artificial Neural Network surrogate modelling approach was used to optimise CO2 storage into a highly heterogeneous semi- closed saline aquifer which exhibits considerable pressure increase due to injection. The methodology was implemented to minimise the overall field pressure and well bottom-hole pressures, and to maximise the amount of dissolved and trapped CO2 in the storage aquifer. Different realisations of permeability and porosity were stochastically generated to represent the uncertainty in the model. Artificial neural networks were used to reduce the computational time of the optimisation procedure by approximating the objective functions for CO2 storage as surrogates to the expensive solutions of flow by the simulator. A multi- objective evolutionary algorithm was run on these approximators to generate solutions of the multi-objective optimisation's Pareto front. These solutions were compared with the solutions obtained by the computationally expensive optimisation and they were found to give satisfactory results, illustrating that this methodology can be a viable, and low computational cost alternative for optimisation in CO2 storage design
