La Grotte du Portel-ouest située en Ariège sur la commune de Loubens a été fouillée de 1949 à 1987 par Joseph et JeanVézian. Les fouilleurs ont identifié 20 couches réparties en quatre ensembles archéo-stratigraphiques : un ensemble de base, un premier ensemble moustérien, un deuxième ensemble moustérien et un ensemble du paléolithique supérieur correspondants aux stades isotopiques 5, 4, 3, début 2. Le remplissage a livré 34 restes humains néandertaliens et plus de 200000 vestiges correspondants à de l’industrie, de la macrofaune et de la microfaune. L’étude paléontologique a porté sur les 4495 restes de Bovinae et d’Equidae ; l’étude paléo-environnementale a été réalisée à partir des 12963 restes de macro faune et de 896 rongeurs (NMI) enregistrés à ce jour. L’étude paléontologique des Bovinae (1486 restes) a permis d’identifier deux genres : Bos et Bison. Les comparaisons diachroniques et synchroniques ont conduit à la détermination de Bison priscus mediator et de Bos primigenius primigenius. L’étude paléontologique des Equidae a permis de confirmer la première détermination : Equus caballus germanicus (Gardeisen, 1998). Les comparaisons synchroniques et diachroniques avec les tests statistiques associés (Analyse en Composantes Principales, Classification Ascendante Hiérarchique, et le Test de k means) ont permis de rapprocher ce cheval de ceux de Combe Grenal (couches 1 à 35) et de la Grotte Tournal (niveaux II moyen et II B). Quelques restes trouvés dans le paléolithique supérieur ont pu être attribués à Equus caballus gallicus ; ce cheval est proche des chevaux de Camiac et de Jaurens (Würm récent inférieur) et aussi de Solutré (niveau aurignacien) L’étude paléo-environnementale a révélé à la base du sondage un paysage semi-ouvert, plutôt forestier tempéré correspondant au stade isotopique 5 (interglaciaire Riss-Würm et début Würm ancien) ; le stade 4 est très peu représenté. L’occupation principale du site (F à D) correspond au stade isotopique 3 caractérisé par de très forts changements climatiques avec une succession d’événements de Heinrich (H4, H5) et de phases de réchauffement ou de refroidissement des cycles de Dansgaard-Oeschger (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) dans un paysage très ouvert. La couche B présentant une industrie gravettienne et de l’aurochs correspond certainement à la phase de réchauffement du cycle de Dansgaard-Oeschger 2. / The West cave of the Portel located in Ariége in the commune of Loubens has been excavated between 1949 and 1987 byJoseph and Jean Vézian. The excavators identified 20 layers spread in 4 archeologically stratified groups : the basic group, the first Mousterian group and the second Mousterian group and an ensemble of the superior Paleolithic group corresponding to the isotopic stages 5, 4, 3, beginning 2. The contents excavated from this cave gave us 34 Neanderthal human remains and more than 200 000 artifacts corresponding to the industry, the macrofauna and the microfauna. Paleontological studies have been realized on the 4495 Bovinae and Equidae remains. Environmental Paleolithic studies have been completed from 12963 remains of the macrofuna and from 896 rodents registered to this day (NMI). Bovinae paleontological studies (1486 remains) allowed identification of two genre : Bos and Bison. The diachronic and synchronic comparisons have led to determination of Bison priscus mediator and Bos primigenius primigenius. Equidae paleontological studies have allowed confirmation of the first determination: Equus caballus germanicus (Gardeisen,1998).The diachronic and synchronic comparisons with the statistical tests associated (ACP, CAH, and the test of k means)allowed to bring closer the horse from the Portel to those of the Combe Grenal (layers 1 to 35) and the horses of the Tournal cave (stages II middle and II B). Some remains found in the superior Paleolithic have been attributed to Equus caballus gallicus. This horse resembles the horses of Camiac, of Jaurens (inferior recent Würm) and of Solutré (stage of the Aurignacian). Environmental Paleolithic studies has shown, at the bottom of the contents excavated, a landscape semi open, rather temperate forest corresponding to the isotopic stage 5 (interglacial Riss-Würm and to the beginning or ancient Würm). The isotopic stage 4 is rarely represented. The principal occupation of the site by Neanderthal (F à D) is during the isotopic stage 3 characterized by very great climatic changes with a succession of Heinrich events (H4, H5) and phases of warming or cooling phases of the cycle Dansgaard-Oeschger (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) in a landscape very open, far reaching and vast. The layer B presents one gravettian industry and some Bos, and certainly corresponds to the phase of warming of the cycle Dansgaard-Oeschger 2.

The focus of this thesis is Firmicus Maternus, his text the Mathesis, and their place in the intellectual culture of the fourth century AD. There are two sections to this thesis. The first part considers the two questions which have dominated the scholarship on the Mathesis and relate to the context of the work: the date of composition and Firmicus' faith at the time. Chapter 1 separates these questions and reconsiders them individually through an analysis of the three characters which appear throughout the text: Firmicus, the emperor, and the addressee Mavortius. The second part of the thesis considers the Mathesis within the intellectual culture of the fourth century. It examines how Firmicus establishes his authority as a didactic astrologer, with an emphasis on Firmicus' use of his sources. Chapter 2 examines which sources are credited. It considers the argument that Manilius is an uncredited source through an analysis of the astrological theory of the Mathesis and the Astronomica. In addition, the astrological theory of Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos is compared to the Mathesis to assess Firmicus' use of his named sources. The methods that Firmicus uses to assert his authority, including his use of sources, are compared to other didactic authors, both astrological or Late Antique in Chapter 3. This chapter examines whether Firmicus' suppression and falsifying of sources is found in other didactic literature. Chapter 4 considers possible reasons for the omission of Manilius' name and also the effect that this has had on intellectual culture and the place of the Mathesis within it.

This thesis offers a new contextualisation of weather signs, naturally occurring terrestrial indicators of weather change (from, for example, animals, plants and atmospheric phenomena), in antiquity. It asks how the utility of this method of prediction was perceived and presented in ancient sources and studies the range of answers given across almost eight hundred years of Greek and Roman civilisation. The presentation of weather signs is compared throughout to that of another predictive method, astrometeorology, which uses the movement of the stars as markers of approaching weather. The first chapter deals with the presentation and discussion of weather signs in a range of Greek texts. It sees hesitant trust being placed in weather signs, lists of which were constructed so as to be underpinned by astronomical knowledge. The second chapter assesses how these Greek lists were received and assimilated into Roman intellectual discourse by looking to the strikingly similar practice of divining by portents. This lays the foundations for the final chapter, which describes and explains the Roman treatment of weather signs. Here, the perceived utility of weather signs can be seen to reduce rapidly as the cultural significance of astronomy reaches new heights. This thesis provides new readings and interpretations of a range of weather-based passages and texts, from the Pseudo-Theophrastan De Signis, to Lucan's Pharsalia, to Pliny's Natural History, many of which have previously been greatly understudied or oversimplified. It allows us to understand the social and scientific place of weather prediction in the ancient world and therefore how abstract and elaborate ideas and theories filtered in to the seemingly commonplace and everyday. I argue that between the 7th century BC and the end of the 1st century AD, the treatment of weather signs changes from being framed in fundamentally practical terms to one in which practical considerations were negligible or absent. As this occurred, astrometeorology comes to be seen as the only predictive method worthy of detailed attention. These two processes, I suggest, were linked.
