#archéologie: retour sur les 1ers résultat des fouilles exceptionnelles dans le quartier de Sainte Colombe dans les faubourgs de la Vienne antique en Isère en 2017 par Archeodunum: c'est tout une place de marché avec des artisanats et des boutiques au rdc et des logements au Ier étage, ravagée par un incendie en 69 après JC qui a en quelque sorte été scellée dans son état d'abandon les objets non récuperés en place.
Parmi ceux-ci, le paquetage complet d'un soldat romain est une découverte rare (il n'y a que 2 autres découvertes du même niveau dans le monde) : dans un coffre en bois, dans un appartement au nord ouest de la place, on a trouvé une armure complète segmentée (lorica segmentata), un glaive de type Mayence, un poignard (pugio) encore dans son fourreau, un pilum complet, un élément de casque en bronze ainsi que des clous de chaussures caractéristiques des caligae portées par l’armée romaine. Il s'agit très vraisemblablement de l'équipement d'un vétéran ayant été recruté sous Auguste ou Tibère au début du Ier siècle et venu s'installer à Vienne.
L'armure segmentée à été restaurée par le CREAM de Vienne (Centre de Restauration et d’Études Archéologiques Municipales) de Vienne mais compte tenu de sa grande fragilité, elle a également été numérisée par la Maison des sciences humaines et environnementales dont voici les premières images (lors de sa découverte /après restauration)..

So glad to see this out in the world. The volume seeks to introduce a new field of intervention in social and labour historiography, that connects studies of labour with that of punishment and a global history of power.

[🅰ntiquity Journal @AntiquityJ]

NEW Archaeologists discover a major New Kingdom (c. 1550–1069 BC) settlement at Kom el-Nugus, Egypt!
The region was thought to have only been occupied from the Hellenistic period (332–31 BC) onwards, prompting re-evaluation of northern Egypt's history.

The volume asks how do punitive practices contribute to shape the processes of labour extraction and workers’ mobility? It is based on empirically grounded research from a wide range of geographical and temporal contexts.

The German mission that is excavating at the site of the city of Uruk (Al-Warka) found an archaeological boat in the ruins of the city that dates back to the yearly Sumerian dynasties (around 3000 to 2350 BC), and it is in very good condition.
