L'agriculture de l'age du fer

Author(s): Peter J Reynolds

Year: 1982

Summary

The Agriculture of the Iron Age

Experimental archaeology endeavors to improve the techniques of excavation and analysis by trying to find the conditions in which archaeological structures have been formed. Rather than simulating the lives of men at the Iron Age, Peter Reynolds' team preferred to develop an experimental farm to take into account and study all the farm activities of that period.

The temporal dimension of this project makes it possible to study the evolution of a plant or animal production, the aging process of a dwelling or the way in which a ditch is filled. These results provide lessons that are easily applicable in the field and can thus solve some of the difficulties experienced by all excavators.
