“…Cumes est un archétype. On aurait aussi pu rappeler les travaux pionniers de Kraft et al (1977) sur les milieux côtiers égéens et parmi d'innombrables exemples, les établissements ou les ports de Lattara (Bagan et al, 2010), de Luni dans le delta du fleuve Magra (Fazzini & Maffei, 2000 ;Bini et al, 2012), d'Aulis en Béotie (Ghilardi et al, 2013), de la plaine de Xanthos en Turquie (Ecochard et al, 2009), ou de Tel Akko en Israël (Zviely et al, 2006 ;Kaniewski et al, 2013). A chaque fois, les analyses paléo-écologiques mettent en évidence des séries sédimentaires régressives qui traduisent le passage d'une lagune de plus en plus confinée qui se transforme progressivement en un marécage dulçaquicole.…”

“…The settlement pattern changed from open-air settlements located on the plains to fortified villages located on hilltops with incresingly complex defensive structures (e.g. Dedet and Py, 1985;Beylier and Gailledrat, 2009;Gailledrat, 2010;Bagan et al, 2010;Gailledrat, 2014;etc). Other evidences are the growing presence of warrior equipment in the tombs and severed heads nailed to walls and gate spaces (e.g: Janin, 1992;Dedet 1992;Dedet 1995;Arcelin et al, 2003;Beylier, 2012).…”

Mobility is crucial in animal husbandry to overcome scarcity of food and the related over-grazing of pastures. It is also essential to reduce the inbreeding rate of animal populations, which is known to have a negative impact on fertility and productivity. Complex societies with a strong territorial component developed during the Iron Age in Southern France and across Europe. The impact of this phenomenon over animal husbandry is not yet fully understood, but a general small size of animals is attested in different parts of Europe at that time. This paper presents the main zooarchaeological results (main domesticates species representation, mortality profiles, osteometry, pathologies) of two major Iron Age sites in Languedoc-La Monédière (Bessan) and Lattara (Lattes). In addition, the strontium isotopic ratios (87 Sr/ 86 Sr) of 44 sheep and 16 cattle teeth from these sites are provided together with some baseline isotopic data. La Monédière and Lattara represent good case studies to characterise the geographic range of meat provisioning in coastal urban centres in the mid Iron Age (6th-4th c. BC). Their archaeological record enables us to analyse whether different species may have had different mobility patterns. In addition the strontium ratios of 4 Roman cattle from these sites were analysed for comparative purposes. The results are contextualised with other archaeological and zooarchaeological data from Languedoc and neighbour Catalonia, and suggest that the socio-political context has a major influence on animal production.

“…This site was situated at the mouth of the River Lez on the edge of the lagoon "stagnum latera" mentioned by Pliny the Elder's Natural History [52]. During the ancient occupation of the site, the Lez embraced the site with two channels (Lez occidental and oriental) forming a lobate delta, leading to the site's position as a peninsula within the lagoon [52,76] (Fig 1), but during the Roman times the port area, situated outside of the southern city walls, was already partially silted up and new installations were built [57].…”

The past natural surroundings evidenced in the above mentioned studies include oak and riparian forests, close-canopy forests, as well as fresh, brackish and saline water environments.…”

A new method to evaluate archaeological wetland sites in a more objective way was tested. Different wetland environments have been sampled in areas of a nature reserve and their macroremain content analysed to build a modern analogue dataset. This dataset was then used to characterise archaeological samples from a navigation channel from the Roman port city Lattara. In the modern analogue samples, the different wetland types (saline/brackish or fresh water) could be differentiated in the correspondence analysis. Within these groups, the sampled area of the littoral (submerged, shoreline, unsubmerged) could also be differentiated. This dataset can therefore provide a basis for the interpretation of the nature and degree of aquatic influence and layer formation processes in archaeobotanical records of coastal sites. In the tested archaeological samples from the navigation channel of Lattara, changes in space and time could be tracked using the modern analogue dataset and geoarchaeological information. The channel lost its fresh water supply and silted up over a short period of time (approx. 100 years).
