C. Marcigny & Cl. Mordant (dir.), Bronze. 20 ans de recherches. Actes du colloque international anniversaire de l'APRAB, Bayeux (19-22 juin 2019), Paris (Bulletin de l'APRAB, Supplément, n° 7)), 2021

Nonobstant les différents choix politiques, la recherche sur l'âge du Bronze a évolué dans plusieurs domaines. L'introduction de nouvelles technologies comme le Lidar a montré le potentiel de l'archéologie funéraire dans les régions sous-évaluées. Les datations radiocarbones ont également ouvert notre regard sur les pratiques funéraires et la chronologie des traditions en matière de construction domestique. Les fouilles à large échelle ont off ert un nouvel aperçu sur l'utilisation du paysage, mais il reste encore de nombreuses lacunes à combler. Les nouvelles découvertes de dépôts et les nombreuses trouvailles isolées ont changé nos idées sur la circulation du bronze et les réseaux d'échange existants.

the chronology of Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age urnfield cemeteries in Belgium. The growing amount of 14C dates
on these cremated remains led to new insights into the chronology, development, and disappearance of the urnfield phenomenon.
Consequently, ideas about cultural and historical processes need to be modified. Also, the internal chronology of the
cemeteries is much more complex than previously thought, stimulating the need for techniques to analyze and visualize the
internal development of an individual burial site. The application of centrographic methods like the mean center, standard distance
circle, and standard deviational ellipse illustrates the possibilities for analyzing the internal chronology of the cemeteries
based on the available 14C dates.
Ces questionnements seront déclinés en plusieurs sessions thématiques couvrant l’ensemble des domaines de recherches emblématiques de la période. Les communications de synthèse s’attachant à dresser un bilan des évolutions perçues ces vingt dernières années seront privilégiées (20 minutes de présentation). Des contributions plus spécifiques (par exemple sur un site de référence ou une thématique précise) sont également attendues sous la forme de posters qui feront l’objet de courtes présentations orales (5 diapositives en 5 minutes).

You’re not 20 every day! Since its creation in 1999, the Association for the Promotion of Research on the Bronze Age (APRAB) has worked to co-ordinate activity and to bring together researchers working on this period in France and the rest of western Europe. An anniversary conference to be held from 19 to 22 June 2019 will provide an opportunity to return to Bayeux, where APRAB was founded, and to review the activities of the Association, but also to take a look at the evolution of the discipline over this time. How have its methods and practices been developed? What perception do we have of the Bronze Age today, and what problems and issues should we foresee tomorrow?
These issues will be addressed in several thematic sessions covering aspects of research relevant to the period. Preference will be given to synthetic presentations that take stock of developments over the past twenty years (20 minutes per presentation). More specific contributions (for example, on an important site or a particular theme) are also invited in the form of posters, which will be the subject of short oral presentations (5 slides in 5 minutes).
Ghent University. His research interests covered a wide chronological range from the Neolithic to the medieval
period. Concerning the first part of the Bronze Age, his research focused on the Hilversum culture, mainly in cooperation with his Dutch colleague, W. Glasbergen. Another of his topics of research were the Urnfield cemeteries, mainly in western Belgium. His archaeological thinking about both subjects was strongly influenced by the idea of migrations
Besides the cooperation with local research groups, the laboratory has set up its own research projects; some of these on existing museum collections, some with new excavations. This includes studies on glass beads, paleodietary studies and pottery studies. Pioneering work was performed on the so-called lime burials.
the archaeological remains of many specific
military confrontations are still to be explored. This
article reports the results of fieldwork to document
the site of the Battle of the Bulge (16 December
1944–25 January 1945). The authors use dronemounted
1m-resolution LiDAR and very high-resolution
simultaneous localisation and mapping
(SLAM) methods to reveal more than 940 features
within the forested Ardennes landscape, many of
which were subsequently visited and confirmed. As
well as highlighting the potential of the LiDARSLAM
method, deployed here (both in this geographic
region and in conflict archaeology) for the
first time, the survey results emphasise the need for
a debate on managing the heritage of a key modern
conflict landscape in Europe.
