This thesis uses experimental archaeology as a method to discover the functional differences between Clovis and Folsom projectile points filtered through a behavioral ecology paradigm. Porcelain is used as a substitute for tool stone for its consistency and control value. The experiment was devised to find out which technology, Clovis or Folsom, was more functional, had a higher curation rate and contributed to increased group subsistence. Paleoindian tool technology transitions can be seen as indicators for adaptation triggered by environmental conditions and changes in subsistence. Folsom technology, when compared to Clovis technology, was functionally superior in performance, refurbishment and curation. Technological design choices made by Folsom people were engineered toward producing a more functional tool system as a sustainable form of risk management. The Clovis Folsom Breakage Experiment indicates that Folsom tool technology was specifically adapted to bison subsistence based on increased functionality and curation.

Alors qu’à la fin du Ve siècle s’effaçait le pouvoir impérial de Rome sur l’ensemble de ses territoires occidentaux, le pouvoir en Gaule se retrouva entre les mains de deux groupes de dirigeants : il y avait, d’une part, les évêques, issus pour la plupart de la classe aristocratique gallo-romaine, qui s’étaient donné comme mission de maintenir la romanité et la foi catholique vivantes dans les cités dont ils étaient les véritables chefs, et, d’autre part, les rois d’origine germanique qui occupaient différents royaumes, taillés à même les territoires cédés par Rome quelques décennies auparavant. Supporté par l’épiscopat, le règne de Clovis, roi d’origine franque et fondateur de la première dynastie catholique en Gaule, s’imposa à ce moment critique de l’histoire gallo-romaine. Malheureusement, les sources écrites qui décrivent l’avènement et la postérité du règne sont rares. Ce travail s’attachera à présenter les lettres qui établirent les fondements du royaume franc ainsi que la première œuvre qui, plusieurs années après la mort de Clovis, fit état de sa carrière afin de constater dans quelle mesure et dans quelles circonstances les évêques qui les écrivirent purent influencer la foi et la politique du roi franc.

The temporal closeness of Western Clovis, dated roughly from 11,500 to 11,000 B.P., to Western Stemmed complexes known as early as 11,140 to 10,800 B.P., has generated debate over the age and historical relationship of these cultures. The frequent co-occurrence of fluted and stemmed points along the lowest strandlines in pluvial lake basins has also led scholars to hypothesize an early development of the characteristically "Archaic" lake-marsh adaptations known from later periods. Geoarchaeological research in the northern Alkali Lake Basin of south-central Oregon has addressed these issues of cultural chronology and economy by seeking data to test a paleoecological model of human land use in the basin from 11,500 to 7,000 B.P. The model posits a late Pleistocene Western Clovis settlement oriented to a small, shallow lake or pond, followed by an early Holocene Western Stemmed occupation around a much larger lake and marsh fringe. Data gathered through basin-wide site survey, stratigraphic studies, and high-resolution mapping of lake features and artifacts, support the model as proposed, and reveal a settlement pattern indicative of a "tethered" focus on local lake-marsh habitats. Research also verifies the horizontal separation of fluted and stemmed artifacts on different, sequent shorelines, indicating that Western Clovis occupation precedes Western Stemmed, although the two are close in time. Data from Alkali Basin, and elsewhere, support the notion that Far Western cultures developed broad-spectrum adaptations much earlier than was once thought. This implies that the foundations of the Western Archaic were already in place by 11,000 B.P. In keeping with the adaptive flexibility embodied within the Desert Culture concept, environmental data further suggest that this "paleo-Archaic" lifeway developed quickly, not gradually, in response to punctuated climatic change and the emerging mosaic of regional habitats which characterized the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary, at a time when the desert as we know it was just coming into being. / Adviser: Aikens, C.

Bevilaqua’s correspondence is an important source of understanding of his trajectory: a forgotten name of transition between Empire and Republic , but its name is present in brazilian intellectual, juridical and literary fields.

Jusqu'à la fin du XIIe siècle, la vie de Clovis, roi mérovingien et premier roi chrétien qui a régné sur le royaume franc sûrement à partir de 481 et jusqu'à sa mort, le 27 novembre 511, ne paraît avoir été que rarement transposée en images. À partir de 1200, en revanche, l'iconographie figurant le souverain mérovingien se développe, diffusée de plus en plus largement dans le royaume de France. Cette évolution traduit un changement qui s'opère dans l'intérêt porté à Clovis durant les trois derniers siècles du Moyen Âge. Afin de saisir la teneur de ce changement, la présente étude se propose d'analyser l'importance octroyée à l'image de Clovis dans le royaume de France entre 1200 et 1500. Pour ce faire, l'examen de l'iconographie clodovéenne encore connue a été effectué. Celui-ci permet d'abord, grâce à l'évaluation de l'abondance et de la propagation de l'imagerie clodovéenne dans le royaume, de rendre compte de l'importance de la diffusion de l'image du roi et de cerner l'étendue et la diversité du public auquel celle-ci s'adressait. Cet examen permet ensuite d'analyser les modalités de la mise en images de l'histoire du souverain, renseignant sur les variations du discours diffusé par l'iconographie. Enfin, l'étude de la signification des images et de leur fonction permet, à une époque où se forme ce que Colette Beaune nomme le « sentiment national » et où l'histoire du royaume est traversée par un des conflits majeurs de la période, la guerre de Cent Ans, de comprendre les raisons du développement de l'imagerie figurant Clovis et des variations de la place conférée au roi dans le discours iconographique diffusé, entre 1200 et 1500, dans le royaume de France. / Until the end of the 12th century, the life of Clovis, a Merovingian king and the first Christian king of the Frankish kingdom, who reigned from about the year 481 until his death on November 27, 511, seems to have been rarely depicted in images. From 1200 onwards, however, iconography picturing the Merovingian king expanded, spreading more and more widely in the kingdom of France. This evolution reflects a change in the interest accorded to Clovis over the last three centuries of the Middle Ages. In order to grasp the substance of this change, this study analyzes the importance attributed to the image of Clovis in the kingdom of France between 1200 et 1500. To this end, an examination of known Clodovian iconography has been conducted. First, this evaluation of the quantity and spread of Clodovian imagery in the kingdom allows us to determine the magnitude of the dissemination of the king’s image as well as the scope and diversity of the public to which it was addressed. This examination then allows us to analyze the modalities of depicting the sovereign’s history, based on variations in the message spread by the iconography. Finally, the study of the meaning of the images and of their function yields – at a time when what Colette Beaune calls the “national sentiment” is forming and when the kingdom encounters one of the major conflicts of the period, the Hundred Years War – an understanding of the reasons for the development of the imagery depicting Clovis and for the variations in the place accorded to the king in the iconographic discourse spread between 1200 and 1500 in the kingdom of France.
