L’étude de la formation du tissu urbain dans l’emprise de l’amphithéâtre antique de Tours propose une lecture différente de la topographie historique traditionnelle, en s’attachant moins aux situations qu’aux relations fonctionnelles, spatiales et temporelles qu’entretiennent les objets urbains. La modélisation des dynamiques du tissu urbain (les rues, le parcellaire mais aussi les constructions, hérités de l’ancien édifice de spectacle) permet d’identifier et de décrire le fonctionnement des processus yant conduit à la formation de l’espace urbain au Moyen Âge et à l’Époque moderne. Face au reste de la ville, la singularité du site s’explique non seulement par la présence de l’amphithéâtre antique, mais surtout par la destination sociale de l’espace qui, après avoir été occupé par un habitat aristocratique au haut Moyen Âge, forma, à partir du 13e s., une partie du quartier canonial de la cathédrale. / This survey of the urban fabric on the site of the Roman amphitheatre at Tours leads to a different lecture beside the traditional historical topography, by stressing less on the situations than on the functional, spatial and temporal relationships between the urban objects. The modelling of the dynamics of the urban fabric (streets, plots but also buildings that emerge from the ancient amphitheatre) allows to identify and to describe the processes resulting in the formation of the urban space in the Medieval and Modern Periods. Compared with the rest of the city, the peculiarity of the site lies not only on the presence of the antique amphitheatre, but especially on the social destination of the space which first was occupied by an aristocratic housing in the Early Middle Ages then formed, from the 13th century onwards, part of the canonial precinct of the cathedral.

This paper concentrates on the role of women in science, specifically in archaeology of past centuries. The women{\crq}s access to education and scientific career had been restricted by then notion of woman{\crq}s proper standing in society {--} educated and independently intellectually active woman didn{\crq}t fit in the required role of the custodian of family hearth, of spouse and mother. So the women interested in science had to overcome various prejudices and obstacles. The introduction of this work briefly informs about traditional women{\crq}s standing in the society and about possibilities of their education in the setting of high schools and universities in the flow of centuries. It presents also a short insight into the history of archaeology as a discipline to show in which stage it was in the time these women worked in it. This paper finds in these women pre-archaeologists three kinds of leading motivations. The first, most typical model, were women influenced by their husbands. Women of the archaeologists often participated on their work either from marital solidarity or of one{\crq}s own interest that survived the spouse{\crq}s death. The second biggest group was formed by the daughters of archaeologists that grew up amongst prehistoric relics and, as kids, attended archaeological research with their fathers. In this group we also find either a short time fascination or lifelong influence. The third group is formed by the women from non-archaeologist families. Some of them familiarized with prehistoric relics through their commercial interests, others, and this group was bigger, displayed purely personal passion for this science. This latter group made friends with important archaeologists of their time and engaged in this trade under their leadership. The last part of the work is formed by the succinct reference on educated professional women archaeologists who followed this pioneers on the area of interest {--} though in fact they don{\crq}t fit into epoch and topic investigated.

This thesis in archeological point of view deals with civilization of burgher house No. 55 in Latrán - Český Krumlov. In the backyard of municipal house a well was revealed in the year 1998, which secured plentiful and varietal collection of early modern ceramic, glass, leader, metal and wooden artefacts. Beside that also animal bones were founded and botanical macro-remnants were detracted. On the basisof komparative research especially with scientific literature and written and inconographic sources the thesis tries to set archaeological findings into historical kontext and upgrade archaeological find classification and also to make dating of set more accurate and there by learn everyday life in burgher house in Český Krumlov from 16th to 18th century.

Thank to an interdisciplinary approach involving archaeology and scientific analysis, Merovingian ceramic and glass found in the Meuse-valley have been studied. This approach allowed us to elaborate a typochronology for these type of artifact and moreover to shed some light on the history of craft, economic aspects and the cultural impregnations of this particular time. Aside from the darkness that can be associated to this period, Merovingian craftmen still mastered specific skills and technological evolutions took place. Until the middle of the VIth century, trade networks were not abandoned. For glass production, raw material seems to be imported from Mediterranean regions and glass final products as well as clay vessels were still exported at a regional scale. Between the end of the VIth and the VIIth century, glass becomes rare and new types of ceramic locally made appears. In cemeteries, living settlements and productions sites, both crafts underline economical and cultural modifications in the Meuse-valley. Finally, at the end of the Merovingian period, ceramic and glass reflect new consumptions behavior that came into sight announcing the transition to the Carolingian world.

It also mentions their origins and the way how they came to Roman Empire.
