    International audienceL'architecture de terre est l'une des expressions les plus originales et les plus puissantes de notre capacitĂ© Ă  crĂ©er un environnement construit avec des ressources locales facilement disponibles. Elle inclut une grande variĂ©tĂ© de structures, allant des mosquĂ©es, palais et greniers aux centres villes historiques, paysages culturels et sites archĂ©ologiques. Son importance culturelle dans le monde entier est Ă©vidente et a menĂ© Ă  sa considĂ©ration en tant que patrimoine commun de l'humanitĂ©, mĂ©ritant par suite la protection et la considĂ©ration de la communautĂ© internationale. En 2011, plus de 10% des biens culturels inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial incluaient des structures en terre. La disponibilitĂ© et la qualitĂ© Ă©conomique du matĂ©riel contribue Ă  la lutte contre la pauvretĂ© et au dĂ©veloppement durable. Toutefois, ces architectures de terre sont de plus en plus menacĂ©s par des impacts naturels et humains (e.g. inondations et sĂ©ismes, industrialisation, urbanisation, technologies modernes de construction, disparition des pratiques traditionnelles de conservation, ....), et mĂ©ritent par consĂ©quent une attention particuliĂšre en termes de conservation et d'entretien ; environ ÂŒ des sites inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial en danger sont des sites en terre. Le Programme du patrimoine mondial pour l'architecture de terre (WHEAP) vise Ă  l'amĂ©lioration de l'Ă©tat de conservation et de gestion des sites architecturaux en terre Ă  travers le monde. Des projets-pilotes menĂ©s sur des sites en terre inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial ou inclus dans les Listes indicatives d'Etats parties Ă  la Convention aideront Ă  identifier les meilleures pratiques. Ils fourniront des exemples pour le dĂ©veloppement et la diffusion de mĂ©thodes et techniques appropriĂ©es dans la conservation et la gestion, et Ă  renforcer les capacitĂ©s locales. La recherche scientifique permettra en outre de promouvoir et d'amĂ©liorer le savoir-faire dans ce domaine. Les rĂ©sultats attendus visent Ă  une meilleure comprĂ©hension des problĂšmes auxquels est confrontĂ©e l'architecture de terre, au dĂ©veloppement de politiques de conservation, Ă  la dĂ©finition de lignes directrices pratiques et Ă  l'organisation d'activitĂ©s de formation et de sensibilisation, en particulier auprĂšs des communautĂ©s locales, Ă  travers des ateliers, des expositions, des confĂ©rences et des publications techniques. Le programme cherche Ă  accroitre la reconnaissance de l'architecture de terre et Ă  crĂ©er un rĂ©seau mondial actif pour l'Ă©change d'informations et d'expĂ©rience

    Natural hazards, disasters and local development

    International audienceThis publication is aimed at individuals and institutions aware of the need to integrate reconstruction programs as part of a strategy to achieve the sustainable improvement of the living conditions of populations. The objective of this document is to show the interest, relevance and potential of local materials in at-risk situations but also and particularly to demonstrate that ignoring or banning the use of local materials and their associated know-how, as part of reconstruction, risk prevention and management or development projects, inevitably leads to even more vulnerable and dependent affected (or likely to be affected) populations. Beyond housing reconstruction, the idea is to implement sustainable conditions for better prevention and risk preparedness, for and by local populations, by taking into account and valorizing their knowledge and know-how: their own building culture. Through the organization of seminars and international meetings, and with the proliferation of operational partnerships in the field, our team was able to begin structuring the knowledge in the field. This document is therefore intended to present the conclusions of a shared reflection process. The theoretical and methodological elements proposed are illustrated by case studies of several recent initiatives, reflecting the different approaches developed and their results. This document does not provide instructions to be followed, but is intended as a basis for reflection. It opens new doors into more effective programs of reconstruction and prevention in high-risk area

    Second season of the Saudi-French mission in al-Yamāma, al-Kharj area (11 November - 18 December 2012)

    Report of the archaeological, geophysical, archaeozoological and topographical activities of the French-Saudi mission in the oasis of al-Kharj, 80 km South of Riyadh, in the Central Province of Saudi Arabia carried out from November 11 to December 18 2012. It includes chapters on: - The geographic and historical setting - Description on the Registration system - Report of the exploration of the site of al-Yamāma (geophysical survey, topographical survey, archaeological sounding, , excavation of a mosque, zooarchaeological study, restoration process) and a geomorphological study of al-Kharj area

    Archaeoseismology in the Inka Sacred Valley and in the Cuzco region, an interdisciplinary approach for past seismic impacts characterization on Cultural Heritage as a new marker for paleoevents?

    Too often, the seismic hazard evaluation in the Andes is limited to the subduction zone. While it is true that the most powerful earthquakes that affected the Pacific fringe (Lima, 1746; Arica, 1868) had little impact on the Altiplano, this area exhibits a combination of strong seismic hazard and high vulnerability through the presence of active fault segments in densely populated areas (Benavente et al., 2013). Nonetheless, unlike the coastal region where resilience is taken increasingly in account, as a result, in particular, of the violent 2007 Pisco earthquake (D’Ercole et al., 2007), the seismic risk remains largely overlooked in the Highlands. In a such iconic city like Cuzco, the erratic population growth and its consequences on the organisation of the urban landscape represents a further challenge that enhance the risk exposure. The incomplete knowledge of the Quaternary geological settings of the Cuzco region as well as the low recurrence of devastating earthquakes on crustal faults in general lead to a progressive loss of the “risk culture” achieved by the Inkas and their megalithic architecture. To face such difficulties, archaeoseismological approaches demonstrated that disturbed architectural remains may be used as valuable markers (Rodríguez-Pascua et al., 2011) to extend the catalog of palaeoseismological studies (Rosell Guevara, 2018). Moreover, the huge consequences of the damaging events that struck Cuzco in 1650 and 1950 might suggest a similar impact of earthquakes during pre-Hispanic times. Registering and mapping the past seismic effects in Inka citadels like Machu Picchu and Choquequirao as well as sudden variations in constructive techniques of monumental heritage is therefore an interesting tool to provide additional data (recurrence, social impacts) to properly assess the seismic risk and detect “prehistoric” events. Based on an interdisciplinary program, our results will complement other evidences of deformation, issued from fault trenching and proximal lake coring (PATA project). The overall purpose is to extend the knowledge and time window for the local crustal fault activity and emphasize the importance of the seismic risk in the area. Raising awareness will be the first step towards developing risk management policies and implementing mitigation measures to preserve the local Cultural Heritage. Within the framework of this meeting, we aim to present the preliminary results obtained during the two field campaigns in 2019, which are confirming the relevance of Inka sites as good “seismoscopes”
