Three rescue excavations conducted in the years between 2007 and 2012, covering a total surface of 17 790 m2, and a campaign of geophysical prospection conducted in 2014 (total surface investigated: ...20 000 m2) allowed to investigate extensively the archaeological remains of a Roman villa at the locality Entre Deux Cours, municipality of Laquenexy (Moselle, Lorraine, France). While the rescue excavations focused principally on the remains of the pars rustica, the geophysical prospection made it possible to investigate the maximal extension of the villa and to obtain first results concerning the features and architectural organization of the pars urbana. The architectural plan of the villa is well-fitting into the established typology of the villae of northeastern Gaule: the villa of Laquenexy belongs to the type of the villae “à pavillons multiples alignés” (villae of axial organisation, characterized by opposite rows of annexe buildings surrounding the central courtyard of the pars rustica). The agricultural part of the villa complex is characterized by five buildings constructed on stone foundations, but there have been also some wooden, probably timber-framed buildings, and, furthermore, the excavation revealed several postholes, hearths and ditches. These remains are characterizing this extended villa and agricultural exploitation, covering a total surface of about 4 hectares. Several features (circular oven constructions with straight fireying pit and corn drying kiln are indicating the importance of cereal production within the agricultural economy of the Gallo-Roman site. Archaeobotanical analysis has revealed valuable information concerning the agricultural activities and cereal production. The archaeological finds unearthed during the different excavations (iron tools, small metal objects, stone-made objects) have been studied extensively. This focus of the archaeological research enables us to characterize the find assemblage. Furthermore, a paleo-metallurgical study of slags has delivered remarkable results concerning activities like blacksmithing and metalworking. Stratigraphic information confronted with the results of the find analysis (ceramics, coins…) and two radiocarbon dates enable us to fix the chronological time frame of the Gallo-Roman occupation between the 1st and the 4th c. AD.

Trois fouilles de sauvetage menées entre 2007 et 2012 (surface totale fouillée : 17 790 m2) et une campagne de prospection géophysique réalisée en 2014 (surface totale étudiée : 20 000 m2) ont permis ...l’identification en intégralité d’une villa gallo-romaine sur la commune de Laquenexy (Moselle), au lieu-dit Entre Deux Cours. Alors que les recherches archéologiques ont porté principalement sur la pars rustica, la prospection a révélé l’extension maximale du domaine et a fourni des indices sur la nature des vestiges enfouis de la pars urbana. Le plan que dessine cet établissement l’inscrit dans une typologie courante dans le nord-est de la Gaule : les villae « à pavillons multiples alignés ». Dans la partie agricole, cinq bâtiments édifiés sur des fondations en pierre, des constructions en matériaux périssables ainsi que des poteaux, des fosses, des foyers et des fossés indiquent l’existence d’un vaste établissement de près de 4 ha. Plusieurs structures (fours circulaires à alandier droit et séchoir) soulignent l’importance de la céréaliculture dans cet établissement antique. L’étude des carporestes a apporté des précisions sur la nature des activités agricoles. Les artéfacts découverts lors des différentes opérations archéologiques (quincaillerie, petit mobilier métallique, céramique, mobilier en pierre) sont étudiés dans leur globalité. Cette démarche fait ressortir la spécificité du corpus. Une étude paléométallurgique sur les scories a livré des résultats significatifs permettant d’argumenter en faveur d’activités artisanales de forgeage. La confrontation des données stratigraphiques avec l’étude du mobilier archéologique (céramique, monnaie) et deux datations radiocarbone ont permis de fixer l’occupation gallo-romaine entre le ier s. apr. J.-C. et le début du ve s. apr. J.-C.
The current cadastral system in the province of Quebec is a graphical one in the sense that it presents the limits and the official measures of the property on a 2D digital map. To be able to ...represent superimposed properties like condominium, the Quebec cadastre uses “le cadastre vertical” that is a polygon with a number that refers to an external complementary plan (PC). This plan shows vertical profile of the properties and a detail draw of each floor (private and common parts). A single PC-number could refer to hundreds of lots and plans depending on the geometric complexity of the building. The understanding of the spatial arrangement of all superimposed properties contained in the PC file is a tricky mental exercise. To help users of the cadastre vertical, a semi-automatic procedure is proposed that enables the construction of a volumetric representation from the PC image file. In this specific constraint situation, the various data processing steps are described starting with the vectorization (from image to vectors), the 3D modeling (the construction of the volumetric representation) and finally the data exchange. The ins and outs of every data processing, the time and efforts required to achieve each step are discussed, and we conclude with remarks made by the end users about potential usages of such cadastral volumetric representation.
In several Middle Paleolithic assemblages in Western Europe, cores and bifaces with percussion zones that are not related to their usual mode of functioning have been observed. We used experimental ...cores and bifaces as percussion tools on different materials. The stigmata produced during percussion on stone materials closely resemble those observed on archaeological objects. Though the use of these pieces as hammerstones or retouchers is difficult to firmly demonstrate, this is the most probable hypothesis. The characteristics of the traces observed are similar to those observed on classic hammerstones. While the recycling of bifaces and cores into hammerstones, sometimes followed by their reuse, depending on their original function, is infrequently observed in Middle Paleolithic assemblages, it appears to be a recurrent characteristic that is independent of environmental constraints or economic or technical contexts. This practice thus seems to be associated with cultural choices, perhaps of a universal nature.
Dans plusieurs séries du Paléolithique moyen d’Europe occidentale, des nucléus et des bifaces présentent des plages de percussions qui ne sont pas liées à leur fonctionnement classique. Nous avons ...utilisé des nucléus et des bifaces expérimentaux comme outils de percussion sur différents matériaux. Les stigmates obtenus lors de la percussion sur des matières minérales présentent de fortes analogies avec ceux observés sur les pièces archéologiques. L’utilisation de celles-ci comme percuteurs ou comme retouchoirs est difficile à démontrer formellement mais cette hypothèse est la plus vraisemblable. Les caractéristiques des traces observées sont par ailleurs similaires à celles observées sur des percuteurs plus classiques. Le recyclage comme percuteurs de bifaces et de nucléus, suivi parfois de leur réutilisation selon leur vocation initiale, même si elle est observée de manière anecdotique au sein de séries du Paléolithique moyen, semble être une caractéristique récurrente indépendante des contraintes environnementales ou du contexte économique ou technique. Ce comportement semble donc relever de choix culturels revêtant un caractère assez universel.
The skilled labour shortage in the natural resource sector is a major issue in North America, particularly in the Canadian forestry sector. In the province of Quebec alone, 15 000 positions will need ...to be filled by 2022. At the same time, many Indigenous communities are seeking to develop employment opportunities, as they have high unemployment rates and a young and growing population. But are forestry employers creating an environment conducive to the recruitment, integration, and retention of an Indigenous workforce? We interviewed 22 directors and human resource managers from 19 forestry businesses (16 non-Indigenous and 3 Indigenous) in Quebec, with a view to answering this question. Employer narratives suggest that they have only just begun to see the potential of the Indigenous workforce and put in place diversity management practices. Partnerships between Indigenous communities and forestry businesses, development of alternative training and skill development methods, and awareness-raising among employees and employers were found to favour recruitment, integration, and retention of Indigenous workers. Conversely, according to participants, stereotypes, discrimination, lack of inclusion measures, drug and alcohol use, and lack of training reduce the potential for Indigenous people to join the forestry workforce.
