The Little Cottonwood stock in central Utah, USA, is a composite granitic pluton that hosts the White Pine porphyry Mo-W deposit towards its northeast margin. The deposit is centered on the smaller White Pine intrusion, and associated igneous units include the Red Pine porphyry, phreatomagmatic pebble dikes, and rhyolite dikes. Twelve new U-Pb zircon LA-ICP-MS ages, for samples from this deposit and in pebble dikes from the nearby East Traverse Mountains, give peak ages of about 30 Ma and 27 Ma for the Little Cottonwood stock and White Pine intrusion, respectively, which correlate well with ages from previous studies. Ages of about 26 Ma were obtained for the previously undated Red Pine porphyry.The ages of the Little Cottonwood stock, White Pine intrusion, and Red Pine porphyry, as well as disparities in whole rock elemental differentiation trends, suggest that these units are magmatically distinct, and are not simply derivatives of one another with varying degrees of differentiation. Quench textures and resorbed quartz in the Red Pine porphyry are evidence that the magma system vented, which probably produced volcanic eruptions and emplacement of pebble dikes nearly synchronously with quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration and Mo-W mineralization. The mineralogy and geochemistry of these units imply that the magmas formed in a subduction-related magmatic arc setting rather than in an extensional basin related to orogenic collapse.Pebble dikes in the East Traverse Mountains 17 km away contain igneous clasts that resemble the units in the White Pine deposit in texture, mineralogy, and in U-Pb zircon ages. This supports other recent studies that suggest that the East Traverse Mountains rested atop the White Pine deposit prior to being displaced in a mega-landslide, and the pebble dikes in both locations are the top and bottom of the same mineralized phreatomagmatic system.The construction of the pluton began with intrusion of the Little Cottonwood stock, then the White Pine and Red Pine magmas. Fluid exsolution from the Red Pine magma accompanied venting, inception of the mineralizing hydrothermal system, and quenching to a porphyritic stock. Pebble dikes intruded into the overlying East Traverse Mountain block, which catastrophically failed millions of years later and was emplaced in its current location.

In this thesis the pioneer settlement of northern Dalarna is investi­gated by means of a local study of lithic technology and raw material use on the Orsa 527 site in the area. This newly excavated site will be presented, for the first time in completion, in this thesis. The technological traits and raw material distribution on the site, which directly relate to the prehistoric people moving in this area during the Middle Mesolithic, are subsequently put into a larger regional perspective by comparing these results with other Middle Mesolithic sites in northern Dalarna and eastern Norway.             Through the theoretical framework of chaîne opératoire and methods, such as dynamical classification of blades, the study of knapping properties of local raw materials and the study of raw material composition on five other sites in the area, questions regarding cultural transition, mobility and contacts can be discussed.             The results of this work indicate that both technological and raw material parallels exist between eastern Norway and northern Dalarna during the Middle Mesolithic. This places these areas in a larger cultural sphere that was based on contacts and mobility during the pioneer settlement of the area.

Notre thèse en deux volumes vise à donner une traduction inédite du premier commentaire de Boèce à l’Isagogè de Porphyre à partir de l’édition critique de Samuel Brandt publiée en 1906. De fait, Boèce s’appuie sur la traduction latine de Marius Victorinus et non, comme le suggère le titre, sur le texte grec de Porphyre. Le premier volume contient une introduction générale articulée en quatre parties: examen critique des études secondaires; les sources matérielles du premier commentaire de Boèce à l’Isagogè; le traitement des questions de Porphyre sur les universaux; et l’Isagogè de Marius Victorinus et la tradition rhétorique latine. Les thèses que nous défendons sont les suivantes : le commentaire perdu de Porphyre sur les Catégories (A Gédalios) pourrait avoir été la source principale de ce traité logique de Boèce ; historiquement, les trois questions de Porphyre ont été apparentées à la réfutation porphyrienne de la position anti-aristotélicienne de Plotin ; et, contrairement à Victorinus qui considère l’Isagogè comme une introduction aux Topiques de Cicéron, Boèce la conçoit dans la perspective néoplatonicienne qui fait d’elle une introduction aux Catégories d’Aristote. Cette introduction est suivie de la traduction française accompagnée du texte latin de l’édition de Brandt. Notre commentaire à la traduction est développé dans le second volume qui contient également une traduction française inédite du commentaire d’Ammonius à l’Isagogè de Porphyre et une réfutation de la thèse soutenue par Brandt dans ses prolegomena de son édition critique à propos des parallèles textuels attestés dans les commentaires à l’Isagogè de Boèce et d’Ammonius (cf. appendices 1 et 2). / Our thesis in two volumes aims to give an original French translation of Boethius’s first commentary on Porphyry’s Isagoge based on the critical edition published by Samuel Brandt in 1906. Actually, Boethius commentary deals with the Latin translation of Marius Victorinus and not, as the title seems to suggest, with the greek treatise of Porphyry. The first volume contains a general introduction divided into four parts : a critical studies of the secondary sources; the material sources of the Boethian first commentary on Isagoge; the Boethian analysis of Porphyry’s three questions about universals; and Marius Victorinus’ Isagoge and the Latin rhetorical tradition. The thesis we defend in the introduction can be summarized as follows : Porphyry’s lost commentary on Categories (Ad Gedalium) may have been the main source of the first Boethian commentary on Isagoge ; historically, the three questions on universals had been related to the Porphyrian refutation of anti-Aristotelian position of Plotinus ; and, unlike Victorinus which considers Isagoge as an introduction to Cicero’s Topica, Boethius adopts the Neoplatonic perspective which makes it an introduction to Aristotle’s Categories. This introduction is followed by the French translation accompanied by the latin text edited by Brandt. Our commentary on the Boethian treatise is developed in the second volume, which also contains an original French translation of Ammonius’ commentary on Porphyry’s Isagoge and a full refutation of the thesis supported by Brandt in his prolegomena to his critical edition about the textual parallels attested in the Boethian and Ammonian commentaries on Isagoge (cf. appendix 1 and 2).

Os depósitos de tipo Cu-Au (Mo) pórfiro de Água Rica e Bajo de la Alumbrera, NW argentino, estão geneticamente associados às atividades do Complexo Vulcânico Farallón Negro, no Mioceno. Estes depósitos de classe mundial estão inseridos no contexto geotectônico dos Andes Centrais, Província Geológica das Serras Pampeanas Ocidentais e são do tipo Cu-Au (Mo) pórfiro, embora o depósito de Água Rica possua uma série de características epitermais e uma fase de enriquecimento supergênico. Estudos isotópicos e geocronologia de alta resolução foram propostos para os dois depósitos, objetivando investigar a fonte da mineralização e a influência crustal em sua gênese, além de idades para os pórfiros de Água Rica. Os isótopos de Pb mostram que as amostras de rocha total de Bajo de la Alumbrera são menos radiogênicas, com valores de razões muito próximos e apresentam-se menos radiogênicas do que as amostras de rocha total de Água Rica. As amostras de rocha total de Água Rica mostram maior dispersão, mas de certo modo alguma relação com o material analisado (pirita, ou rocha total). As amostras de pirita, de ambos os depósitos apresentam valores de razões similares, o que permite agrupá-las. As composições isotópicas de Pb em sulfetos e em rochas hospedeiras para os depósitos de Água Rica e Bajo de la Alumbrera indicaram que, apesar da diferença nas litologias presentes nos dois depósitos, os valores obtidos são próximos e muito homogêneos. As amostras de sulfetos de Bajo de la Alumbrera apresentam razões \'ANTPOT.206 Pb\'/ \'ANTPOT.204 Pb\', \'ANTPOT.207 Pb\'/ \'ANTPOT.204 Pb\' e \'ANTPOT.208 Pb\'/ \'ANTPOT.204 Pb\' muito próximas das razões de rocha total, porém com discreto enriquecimento em Pb radiogênico. As amostras de sulfetos de Água Rica apresentam distribuição pouco mais variável, no entanto, observa-se que as amostras de pirita de diorito e pirita do metarenito encaixante ficam próximas entre si e próximas das razões de pirita de Bajo de la Alumbrera Isto pode ser interpretado como fonte e condições de formação similar para estes sulfetos. Os isótopos de Sr e Nd obtidos e combinados com dados da literatura podem sugerir mais evidências na fonte dos magmas e fluidos para estes depósitos, onde as rochas foram divididas em grupos por afinidades isotópicas. Percebe-se que há rochas de padrão juvenil, incorporadas durante a orogenia Andina, mas também há rochas que indicam a presença de contaminação crustal, não homogênea, com variações nos valores de épsilon Nd(t) positivos e negativos. Idades de U-Pb em zircão SHRIMP-IIe nos pórfiros Trampeadero e Quebrada Seca, do depósito de Água Rica, apresentaram idades de 6,20±0,16 Ma e 5,66±0,22 Ma, respectivamente. Estas idades indicam um intervalo tempo muito curto, de cerca de 0,54 Ma, entre as intrusões que contém as mineralizações de maior teor e sendo as primeiras idades obtidas para as intrusões de Água Rica, por meio de datação por U-Pb SHRIMP em zircão. Estas idades sugerem que as intrusões associadas a mineralizações do depósito Água Rica são as mais jovens das que ocorrem na área do Complexo Farallón Negro. Uma isócrona Re-Os obtida em pirita para o depósito de Água Rica de 6,4±2,8 Ma é condizente com a história evolutiva deste depósito. Esta idade, combinada com a idade U-Pb em zircão condiz com a principal fase magmática ocorrida neste depósito e que é tida como a fase principal da mineralização. Com base nos dados, sugere-se que a gênese do depósito de Água Rica ocorreu concomitantemente aos estágios magmáticos finais de Bajo de la Alumbrera, e que esta marca as idades mais jovens para as rochas do Complexo Vulcânico Farallón Negro. Além disso, a participação crustal foi significativa durante a gênese desses depósitos, com uma componente maior no depósito de Água Rica, devido a maior interação dos fluidos magmáticos e mineralizantes com o embasamento Paleozoico. Com base neste estudo, indicamos que em zonas de subducção com baixo ângulo de mergulho, os depósitos minerais gerados podem apresentar maior interação com fluidos crustais do que aqueles em áreas de com placa de alto ângulo. / The Agua Rica and Bajo de la Alumbrera Cu-Au (Mo) porphyry-type deposits, NW Argentina, are genetically associated with the Farallón Negro Volcanic Complex, Miocene age. These world-class deposits of Bajo de la Alumbrera and Agua Rica, located into the tectonic context of the Central Andes, Geological Province of the Sierras Pampeanas, are Cu-Au (Mo) porphyry-type, although the Agua Rica deposit has a number of epithermal features and a supergene enrichment phase. Isotopic studies and high-resolution geochronology were carried out for the two deposits, aiming to investigate the source of the mineralization and crustal influence in its genesis, and ages for the Agua Rica porphyries. Pb isotopes show that the whole-rock samples from Bajo de la Alumbrera are less radiogenic than those from Agua Rica, with close ratio values. The whole-rock samples from Agua Rica show higher dispersion compared to Bajo de la Alumbrera. The pyrite samples from both deposits present similar ratios, which allows grouping them. The Pb isotopic compositions of sulfides and host rocks for the Agua Rica deposit and Bajo de la Alumbrera indicated that, despite the difference in the lithology present in the two deposits, the values obtained are close and very homogeneous. Sulfide samples from Bajo de la Alumbrera show ratios of \'ANTPOT.206 Pb\'/ \'ANTPOT.204 Pb\', \'ANTPOT.207 Pb\'/ \'ANTPOT.204 Pb\' and \'ANTPOT.208 Pb\'/ \'ANTPOT.204 Pb\' very close to the whole-rock ratios, but with a slight enrichment in radiogenic Pb. Sulfide samples from Agua Rica present variable distribution, however, the pyrite samples from diorite and from metasandstone present ratios close to the pyrite from Bajo de la Alumbrera. This ratios similarity could be interpreted as similar conditions and sources to these sulfides. The Sr and Nd isotopes obtained and combined with literature data may suggest more evidence on the source of magmas and fluids for these deposits. Rocks with juvenile pattern, incorporated during the Andean orogeny, are one group observed, but there are also rocks that indicate the presence of crustal contamination, not homogeneous, with variations in Epsilon Nd(t) positive to negative. U-Pb SHRIMP-IIe zircon ages in the porphyries Trampeadero and Quebrada Seca, from the Agua Rica deposit, presented ages of 6.20 ± 0.16 Ma and 5.66 ± 0.22 Ma, respectively. These ages indicate a short time interval between these intrusions, of about 0.54 Ma, and represent the youngest ages obtained for Agua Rica by U-Pb SHRIMP zircon. A Re-Os isochron obtained in pyrite to the Agua Rica deposit of 6.4 ± 2.8 Ma is consistent with the evolution of this deposit. This age, combined with the U-Pb SHRIMP zircon ages matches the main magmatic phase and shows that the main mineralization phase is coeval to the intrusions. Based on these data, it is suggested that the genesis of the Agua Rica deposit was coeval to the last magmatic stages of Bajo de la Alumbrera, and this marks the youngest ages to the Farallón Negro Volcanic Complex rocks. In addition, the crustal participation was significant in the genesis of these deposits, with a major component in the Agua Rica deposit, because the fluids interaction with the Paleozoic basement. Based on this study, we indicated that in flat-subduction zones, the mineral deposits generated present more significant interaction with the crustal fluids than those normal subduction zones.

O evento sensu lato Uatumã é caraterizado pelo intenso magmatismo de afinidade cálcio-alcalina, relacionado com a presença de arcos vulcânicos continentais Paleoproterozóicos no período 2,1 a 1,88 Ga, associados com as suítes magmáticas Cuiú- Cuiú, Creporizão, Parauari, com significativa relevância no potencial metalogenético na porção sul do Cráton Amazônico, especificamente na Província Mineral do Tapajós. Inclui também as rochas vulcânicas alcalinas do tipo-A, predominantemente fissurais, de ca 1,87 Ga. Estes arcos magmáticos continentais nomeados Arcos Tapajônicos, tem rochas excepcionalmente bem preservadas de processos tectônicos e metamórficos, o que tem permitido caracterizar os sistemas geológicos, os ambientes tectônicos de formação, os sistemas magmáticos-hidrotermais do tipo epitermal e pórfiro associados, por vezes mineralizados em metais preciosos e de base. Estes arcos são compostos por rochas graníticas diversas, faneríticas e porfiríticas, granófiros, pórfiros riolíticos a andesíticos, andesitos, dacitos, riodacitos e riolitos, estes em maior volume. As rochas vulcânicas compõem derrames, domos e diques, comumente com fácies variadas de rochas vulcanoclásticas associadas, incluindo grandes depósitos de ignimbritos, assim como rochas sedimentares clasticas típicas de ambiente continental deposicional incluindo depósitos de leques aluviais e fluviais compostos por arenitos, conglomerados, siltitos e argilitos junto com unidades lacustres, representadas por lamitos vermelhos com leitos de chert contemporâneas aos eventos vulcânicos paleproterozóicos. As rochas destes arcos são em geral peraluminosas a metaluminosas e pertencem à serie cálcio-alcalina enriquecida em potássio, com tendências shoshoníticas, e mostram semelhança às geradas pelo magmatismo sin- a pós-orogênico em ambiente de arco vulcânico continental maturo, desenvolvido em margens continentais ativas. Dados isotópicos de Sm-Nd de um conjunto representativo de amostras da região indicam valores de \'\'épsilon\'IND.Nd\' negativos e valores baixos de 87Sr/86Sr, indicando a existência de importante contaminação de crosta continental. As idades modelos TDM indicam participação de crosta paleoproterozóica e arqueana na formação dos magmas. Tanto os dados isotópicos como os de magnetometria e de gravimetria indicam que estruturas profundas da região têm orientação geral aproximadamente E-W que parecem constituir extensões das zonas de cisalhamento arqueanas presentes na Província Mineral de Carajás até a altura do rio Tapajós. Em diversos litótipos sub-vulcânicos e vulcânicos mais ou menos evoluídos foram identificadas inúmeras ocorrências de alterações hidrotermais do tipo quartzo-sericita, por vezes com adulária, e argílica, está dominantemente em estilo fissural, que podem ser associadas a mineralizações epitermais do tipo low-sulfidation. Também estão presentes rochas hidrotermalizadas com pirofilita e alunita, caracterizando zonas de alterações argílicas avançadas em estilos pervasivo e fissural, típicas de mineralizações epitermais high-sulfidation. Em todos os litótipos, mas predominantemente em granitoides e pórfiros, foram identificadas alterações potássicas, sericítica, sericita-clorítica, propílitica e clorítica nos estilos pervasivo e fissural, as quais são representativas de típicos sistemas do tipo pórfiro. As fontes dos fluidos responsáveis pela alteração hidrotermal associada aos sistemas epitermais high- e low-sulfidation foram determinadas utilizando análises de isótopos de oxigênio e deutério em pares de minerais (quartzo-sericita e quartzo-caulinita) constituintes das zonas de alteração hidrotermal. Estes resultados indicam fluidos de origem magmática com misturas subordinadas de fluidos meteóricos de baixa latitude, sem a influência de água de degelo. Os valores de ?34Ssulfetos de pirita da rocha hidrotermalizada variam de +0,8 e +9,4 ?, confirmando a hipótese de fonte magmática também para o enxofre. Essas características são semelhantes às observadas em pórfiros cenozoicos de arcos magmáticos continentais e insulares. Estes resultados indicam um importante potencial para ocorrência de mineralizações de metais preciosos (Au e Ag) e de base (Cu, Pb, Zn e Mo) dos tipos epitermal e pórfiro na região, o que abre possibilidades para existência de mineralizações de grande porte nos arcos Tapajônicos, semelhantes àquelas presentes em arcos modernos, como os Andes, México e oeste dos Estados Unidos. E, caso isto venha a se confirmar, haverá um significativo impacto positivo para região, tanto econômico como social. A evolução geotectônica que deu origem aos eventos magmáticos continentais desenvolvidos no período 2,1 a 1,86 Ga definem a evolução metalogenética da Província Mineral do Tapajós. Os dados geocronológicos obtidos neste estudo mostram a existência no embasamento de rochas com idades de ca. 2,12 a 2,02, de 1,97 a 1,95 e de 1,89 Ga, que podem ser correlacionadas às rochas das suítes intrusivas Cuiú-Cuiú, Creporizão e Parauari, assim como rochas hipoabissais (pórfiros) de idades ca. 1,98 a 1,95 e 1,87 correlacionadas com a suíte intrusiva Creporizão e Parauari. As rochas vulcânicas cálcio-alcalinas tradicionalmente reconhecidas como pertencentes ao Grupo Iriri apresentam neste estudo idades de ca. 2,0 Ga, de 1,97 a 1,95 Ga e de 1,90 a 1,88 Ga, enquanto que vulcânicas alcalinas do tipo-A evidenciam idades de 1,87 a 1,85 Ga, indicando que há mais de um evento vulcânico além do magmatismo que deu origem ao Grupo Iriri. Estes resultados indicam uma evolução complexa do magmatismo paleoproterozóico das unidades reconhecidas como suítes magmáticas Cuiú-Cuiú, Creporizão e Parauari, dentro do evento magmático sensu lato Uatumã. Foram reconhecidas ao menos quatro épocas metalogenéticas potencialmente férteis para mineralizações magmáticas-hidrotermais relacionadas com os arcos Tapajônicos gerados no evento sensu lato Uatumã, associadas a períodos de aumento da espessura cortical durante o Peloproterozóico no sul da Província Mineral de Tapajós, quais sejam: a) o período de 2,1 a 1,97 Ga onde se dá a evolução dos arcos magmáticos continentais Cuiú- Cuiú e Creporizão, correlacionáveis com duas épocas de mineralizações magmáticas- hidrotermais de ca. 2 Ga e de 1,97 Ga; b) O período ao redor de 1,95; e c) o período de 1,90 a 1,88 Ga, relacionado ao arco continental Parauari. / The lato sensu Uatumã event is characterized by intense magmatism of calc-alkaline affinity, related to the presence of Paleoproterozoic continental volcanic arcs in a period between 2.1 to 1.88 Ga, associated with the magmatic suites Cuiú-Cuiú, Creporizão, Parauari, with significant relevance in the metallogenic potential in the southern portion of the Amazonian Craton, specifically in the Tapajós Mineral Province. It also includes alkaline volcanic rocks (A-type) of fissural predominance, about 1.87 Ga. These continental magmatic arcs named Tapajônicos arcs, have exceptionally wellpreserved rocks from tectonic and metamorphic processes, which has allowed to characterize the geologic systems, tectonic settings of formation of the associated epithermal- and porphyry-types magmatic-hydrothermal systems, sometimes mineralized in precious and base metals. These arcs are composed of several granitic rocks, phaneritic and porphyritic, granophyres, rhyolitic to andesitic porphyries, andesites, dacites, rhyodacites and rhyolites, these in larger volume. Volcanic rocks make up lava flows, domes and dikes, commonly with varying facies of associated volcanoclastic rocks, including large deposits of ignimbrites, as well as clastic sedimentary rocks of a continental depositional environment including deposits of alluvial and fluvial fans composed of sandstones, conglomerates, siltstones and argillites along with lacustrine units, represented by red mudstones with beds of chert, contemporaneous with the Paleoproterozoic volcanic events. The rocks of these arcs are generally peraluminous to metaluminous, belonging to the high K calc-alkaline series, trending to the shoshonitic series, and they show similarity to those generated by syn- to post-orogenic magmatism in a mature continental volcanic arc, developed in active continental margins. Sm-Nd isotopic data of a representative set of samples from the region indicate negative \'\'épsilon\'IND.Nd\' values and low values of 87Sr / 86Sr, indicating the existence of important continental crust contamination. The TDM model ages indicate participation of Paleoproterozoic and Archaean crust in the formation of magmas. Both isotopic, magnetometric and gravimetric data indicate that deep structures in the region have roughly E-W orientation that appear to constitute extensions of the Archaean shear zones present in the Carajás Mineral Province up to the Tapajós River. Numerous occurrences of quartz-sericite hydrothermal alterations, sometimes with adularia and argillic type, predominantly in fissural style, have been identified in several evolved volcanic and volcanic lithotypes that could be associated with low-sulfidation epithermal mineralizations. Hydrothermalized rocks with pyrophyllite and alunite are also present, characterizing zones of advanced argillic alteration in pervasive and fissural styles, typical of high-sulfidation epithermal mineralizations. In all lithotypes, but predominantly in granitoids and porphyries, were identified potassic, sericitic, sericitic-chloritic, propylitic and chloritic alterations in pervasive and fissural styles, which are representative of typical porphyry-type systems. The sources of the fluids responsible for the hydrothermal alteration associated with high- and low-sulfidation epithermal systems were determined using oxygen and deuterium isotope analyses in minerals pairs (quartz-sericite and quartz-kaolinite) constituents from hydrothermal alteration zones. These results indicate fluids of magmatic origin with subordinate mixtures of low latitude meteoric fluids, without the influence of de-icing water. The values of ?34Ssulfide values of pyrite from hydrothermalized rock range from +0.8 and +9.4 ?, confirming also the hypothesis of a magmatic sulfur source. These characteristics are similar to those observed in Cenozoic porphyries from continental and island magmatic arcs. These results indicate an important potential for the occurrence of precious metals (Au and Ag) and base metals (Cu, Pb, Zn and Mo) of the epithermal and porphyry types in the region, which opens possibilities for large mineralizations in the Tapajônicos arcs, similar to those present in modern arcs, like the Andes, Mexico and western of the United States. And, if this is to be confirmed, there will be a significant positive impact for the region, both economic and social. The geotectonic evolution that gave origin to the continental magmatic events developed in the period between 2.1 to 1.86 Ga define the metallogenic evolution of the Tapajós Mineral Province. The geochronological data obtained in this study show the existence in the basement of rocks with ages of ca. 2.12 to 2.02, from 1.97 to 1.95 and 1.89 Ga, which can be correlated to rocks of the Cuiú-Cuiú, Creporizão and Parauari intrusive suites, as well as hypoabissal (porphyries) rocks of ca. 1.98 to 1.95 Ga and 1.87 Ga correlated with the Creporizão and Parauari intrusive suites. Calc-alkaline volcanic rocks traditionally recognized as belonging to the Iriri Group present in this study have shown ages range of ca. 2.0 Ga, from 1.97 to 1.95 Ga and from 1.90 to 1.88 Ga, while A-type alkaline volcanics yield ages from 1.87 to 1.85 Ga, indicating that there is more than one volcanic event besides the magmatism that gave rise to the Iriri Group. These results indicate a complex evolution of the paleoproterozoic magmatism of the units recognized as Cuiú-Cuiú, Creporizão and Parauari magmatic suites, within lato sensu Uatumã magmatic event. At least four potentially fertile metallogenic epochs were recognized for hydrothermal-magmatic mineralizations related with the Tapajônicos arcs generated in the lato sensu Uatumã event, associated with periods of increase of crustal thickness during the Peloproterozoic in the southern area of the Tapajós Mineral Province, which are: a) the period from 2.1 to 1.97 Ga with the evolution of Cuiú-Cuiú and Creporizão continental magmatic arcs, correlated with two periods of magmatic-hydrothermal mineralizations of ca. 2.0 Ga and 1.97 Ga; b) The period around 1.95 Ga; and c) the period from 1.90 to 1.88 Ga, related with the Parauari continental arc.

Dados isotópicos de Sm-Nd de um conjunto representativo de amostras da região indicam valores de \'\'épsilon\'IND.Nd\' negativos e valores baixos de 87Sr/86Sr, indicando a existência de importante contaminação de crosta continental.

Estes resultados indicam um importante potencial para ocorrência de mineralizações de metais preciosos (Au e Ag) e de base (Cu, Pb, Zn e Mo) dos tipos epitermal e pórfiro na região, o que abre possibilidades para existência de mineralizações de grande porte nos arcos Tapajônicos, semelhantes àquelas presentes em arcos modernos, como os Andes, México e oeste dos Estados Unidos. E, caso isto venha a se confirmar, haverá um significativo impacto positivo para região, tanto econômico como social. A evolução geotectônica que deu origem aos eventos magmáticos continentais desenvolvidos no período 2,1 a 1,86 Ga definem a evolução metalogenética da Província Mineral do Tapajós.

As rochas vulcânicas cálcio-alcalinas tradicionalmente reconhecidas como pertencentes ao Grupo Iriri apresentam neste estudo idades de ca. 2,0 Ga, de 1,97 a 1,95 Ga e de 1,90 a 1,88 Ga, enquanto que vulcânicas alcalinas do tipo-A evidenciam idades de 1,87 a 1,85 Ga, indicando que há mais de um evento vulcânico além do magmatismo que deu origem ao Grupo Iriri. Estes resultados indicam uma evolução complexa do magmatismo paleoproterozóico das unidades reconhecidas como suítes magmáticas Cuiú-Cuiú, Creporizão e Parauari, dentro do evento magmático sensu lato Uatumã. Foram reconhecidas ao menos quatro épocas metalogenéticas potencialmente férteis para mineralizações magmáticas-hidrotermais relacionadas com os arcos Tapajônicos gerados no evento sensu lato Uatumã, associadas a períodos de aumento da espessura cortical durante o Peloproterozóico no sul da Província Mineral de Tapajós, quais sejam: a) o período de 2,1 a 1,97 Ga onde se dá a evolução dos arcos magmáticos continentais Cuiú- Cuiú e Creporizão, correlacionáveis com duas épocas de mineralizações magmáticas- hidrotermais de ca. 2 Ga e de 1,97 Ga; b) O período ao redor de 1,95; e c) o período de 1,90 a 1,88 Ga, relacionado ao arco continental Parauari. / The lato sensu Uatumã event is characterized by intense magmatism of calc-alkaline affinity, related to the presence of Paleoproterozoic continental volcanic arcs in a period between 2.1 to 1.88 Ga, associated with the magmatic suites Cuiú-Cuiú, Creporizão, Parauari, with significant relevance in the metallogenic potential in the southern portion of the Amazonian Craton, specifically in the Tapajós Mineral Province. It also includes alkaline volcanic rocks (A-type) of fissural predominance, about 1.87 Ga. These continental magmatic arcs named Tapajônicos arcs, have exceptionally wellpreserved rocks from tectonic and metamorphic processes, which has allowed to characterize the geologic systems, tectonic settings of formation of the associated epithermal- and porphyry-types magmatic-hydrothermal systems, sometimes mineralized in precious and base metals. These arcs are composed of several granitic rocks, phaneritic and porphyritic, granophyres, rhyolitic to andesitic porphyries, andesites, dacites, rhyodacites and rhyolites, these in larger volume. Volcanic rocks make up lava flows, domes and dikes, commonly with varying facies of associated volcanoclastic rocks, including large deposits of ignimbrites, as well as clastic sedimentary rocks of a continental depositional environment including deposits of alluvial and fluvial fans composed of sandstones, conglomerates, siltstones and argillites along with lacustrine units, represented by red mudstones with beds of chert, contemporaneous with the Paleoproterozoic volcanic events. The rocks of these arcs are generally peraluminous to metaluminous, belonging to the high K calc-alkaline series, trending to the shoshonitic series, and they show similarity to those generated by syn- to post-orogenic magmatism in a mature continental volcanic arc, developed in active continental margins. Sm-Nd isotopic data of a representative set of samples from the region indicate negative \'\'épsilon\'IND.Nd\' values and low values of 87Sr / 86Sr, indicating the existence of important continental crust contamination. The TDM model ages indicate participation of Paleoproterozoic and Archaean crust in the formation of magmas. Both isotopic, magnetometric and gravimetric data indicate that deep structures in the region have roughly E-W orientation that appear to constitute extensions of the Archaean shear zones present in the Carajás Mineral Province up to the Tapajós River. Numerous occurrences of quartz-sericite hydrothermal alterations, sometimes with adularia and argillic type, predominantly in fissural style, have been identified in several evolved volcanic and volcanic lithotypes that could be associated with low-sulfidation epithermal mineralizations. Hydrothermalized rocks with pyrophyllite and alunite are also present, characterizing zones of advanced argillic alteration in pervasive and fissural styles, typical of high-sulfidation epithermal mineralizations. In all lithotypes, but predominantly in granitoids and porphyries, were identified potassic, sericitic, sericitic-chloritic, propylitic and chloritic alterations in pervasive and fissural styles, which are representative of typical porphyry-type systems. The sources of the fluids responsible for the hydrothermal alteration associated with high- and low-sulfidation epithermal systems were determined using oxygen and deuterium isotope analyses in minerals pairs (quartz-sericite and quartz-kaolinite) constituents from hydrothermal alteration zones. These results indicate fluids of magmatic origin with subordinate mixtures of low latitude meteoric fluids, without the influence of de-icing water. The values of ?34Ssulfide values of pyrite from hydrothermalized rock range from +0.8 and +9.4 ?, confirming also the hypothesis of a magmatic sulfur source. These characteristics are similar to those observed in Cenozoic porphyries from continental and island magmatic arcs. These results indicate an important potential for the occurrence of precious metals (Au and Ag) and base metals (Cu, Pb, Zn and Mo) of the epithermal and porphyry types in the region, which opens possibilities for large mineralizations in the Tapajônicos arcs, similar to those present in modern arcs, like the Andes, Mexico and western of the United States. And, if this is to be confirmed, there will be a significant positive impact for the region, both economic and social. The geotectonic evolution that gave origin to the continental magmatic events developed in the period between 2.1 to 1.86 Ga define the metallogenic evolution of the Tapajós Mineral Province. The geochronological data obtained in this study show the existence in the basement of rocks with ages of ca. 2.12 to 2.02, from 1.97 to 1.95 and 1.89 Ga, which can be correlated to rocks of the Cuiú-Cuiú, Creporizão and Parauari intrusive suites, as well as hypoabissal (porphyries) rocks of ca. 1.98 to 1.95 Ga and 1.87 Ga correlated with the Creporizão and Parauari intrusive suites. Calc-alkaline volcanic rocks traditionally recognized as belonging to the Iriri Group present in this study have shown ages range of ca. 2.0 Ga, from 1.97 to 1.95 Ga and from 1.90 to 1.88 Ga, while A-type alkaline volcanics yield ages from 1.87 to 1.85 Ga, indicating that there is more than one volcanic event besides the magmatism that gave rise to the Iriri Group. These results indicate a complex evolution of the paleoproterozoic magmatism of the units recognized as Cuiú-Cuiú, Creporizão and Parauari magmatic suites, within lato sensu Uatumã magmatic event. At least four potentially fertile metallogenic epochs were recognized for hydrothermal-magmatic mineralizations related with the Tapajônicos arcs generated in the lato sensu Uatumã event, associated with periods of increase of crustal thickness during the Peloproterozoic in the southern area of the Tapajós Mineral Province, which are: a) the period from 2.1 to 1.97 Ga with the evolution of Cuiú-Cuiú and Creporizão continental magmatic arcs, correlated with two periods of magmatic-hydrothermal mineralizations of ca. 2.0 Ga and 1.97 Ga; b) The period around 1.95 Ga; and c) the period from 1.90 to 1.88 Ga, related with the Parauari continental arc.

La Vie de Porphyre de Gaza (BHG³ 1570) se présente comme un texte hagiographique de l’époque protobyzantine écrit par Marc le Diacre. Ce personnage se désigne lui-même comme le disciple du saint qui raconte la vie de son maître après sa mort en 420. Pourtant, à cause d’un emprunt à l’Histoire Philothée de Théodoret de Cyr, la Vie dans son état actuel est certainement postérieure à l’année 444 et ne peut pas provenir de la plume de Marc, qui n’est que le narrateur. Selon l’hypothèse des éditeurs Grégoire et Kugener, la Vie actuelle est le fruit du remaniement d’un texte plus ancien. Le texte nous offre un témoignage unique sur l’histoire du paganisme et du christianisme à Gaza à la fin du IVe et au début du Ve s. Ordonné évêque de Gaza en 395, Porphyre contribue activement à la christianisation de la ville, qui était alors majoritairement païenne. Le point culminant de son activité est la démolition du Marneion et la fondation sur ses débris de la « Grande Église » de Gaza. Cependant, outre les problèmes concernant l’identité de son auteur et sa datation, la Vie s’est trouvée dès l’époque de Tillemont au centre d’un grand débat concernant sa valeur historique, à cause des anachronismes qui ont été relevés. Dans le cadre de notre thèse, nous avons entrepris une nouvelle édition critique du texte, accompagnée d’une traduction française. La brève étude littéraire du texte est suivie par un commentaire historique guidé par le problème d’authenticité que pose la Vie. L’édition critique est précédée d’un examen de la tradition directe et indirecte du texte. Finalement, les notes de la traduction visent à faire ressortir sa valeur documentaire. / The Life of Porphyry of Gaza (BHG³ 1570) is a hagiographical text of the protobyzantine period written by Mark the Deacon. He introduces himself as the saint’s loyal disciple, who narrates his master’s life after his death in 420. However, due to the plagiarism of Theodoret of Cyrrhus’s Philotheos History, the current form of the Vita dates certainly later than 444 and cannot have been written by Mark, who is just the narrator. According to the hypothesis of the editors Grégoire and Kugener, the current form of the Vita is the result of the revision of an older text. The text provides us with a unique account of the history of paganism and christianism in Gaza at the end of the 4th and the beginnings of the 5th century. Appointed bishop of Gaza in 395, Porphyry contributes actively to the christianisation of the city, which was largely pagan. The peak of his activity is the demolition of the Marneion and the erection of the “Great Church” of Gaza on the site of the former temple. However, in addition to the problems concerning its authorship and its datation, the Vita was found in the centre of a great debate concerning its historical value since the time of Tillemont. In the frame of our PhD thesis, we undertook a new critical edition, accompanied by a french translation. The brief literary study of the text is followed by a historical commentary guided by the problem of the Vita’s authenticity. The critical edition is preceded by an examination of the direct and the indirect text tradition. Finally, the notes of the translation aim to reveal its documentary value.

Samli Fe-oxide (+Cu&plusmn / Au) deposit is hosted by Samli pluton and rocks of Karakaya Complex in western Anatolia. The pluton consists of both mafic and felsic phases showing magma mixing textures. 40Ar/39Ar geochronology yielded an age range of 23.2&plusmn / 0.5 to 22.42&plusmn / 0.11 Ma for the Samli pluton, overlapping with 40Ar/39Ar age of 22.33&plusmn / 0.59 Ma and U-Pb age of 23.34&plusmn / 0.19 Ma from alterations. Sr-Nd isotope data are suggestive of a metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) source for the magma. Alteration-mineralization pattern is defined by a series of overlapping halos characterized by sodic-calcic (plagioclase-pyroxene&plusmn / scapolite), calcic (garnet-pyroxene&plusmn / epidote), potassic (biotite+magnetite+chalcopyrite), hematite-limonite, and late stage (chalcedony-calcite+native Cu) alterations. Stable (&delta / 18O, &delta / 34S) and radiogenic (87Sr/86Sr,143Nd/144Nd) isotope compositions suggest a magmatic source for the fluids responsible for alteration-mineralization. Given the spatial-temporal association of alteration- mineralization with magmatic rocks, the hydrothermal system that controls mineralization in Samli appears to be linked with emplacement and cooling of Samli pluton. Samli Fe-oxide (+Cu&plusmn / Au) deposit has features characteristic for both skarn- and Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG) type deposits. The spatial and temporal association with a porphyritic intrusion, widespread calc-silicate assemblage, metal content (abundant Fe-oxide with high copper content) are similar to calcic Fe-Cu skarns, whereas low-Ti (&le / 0.05% TiO2) magnetite/hematite, low-S sulfides (chalcopyrite&gt / pyrite), high Cu (up to 6.78%) and moderate Au (up to 8.82 ppm) grades, local structural control in alteration-mineralization, and the derivation of the causative magma from a SCLM resembles the features pertinent to IOCG type mineralization. Therefore, Samli deposit is defined as a skarn type Fe-Cu mineralization with a potential for IOCG type deposit.

MAX is a porphyry Mo deposit located near Trout Lake village in southeastern British Columbia. Mo mineralization is hosted by variably-altered calc-alkaline granodiorite dikes. Quartz veins have been subdivided into a paragenetic sequence based on vein style and crosscutting relationships. Post-magmatic Pb-Zn-Ag-bearing veins crosscut Mo-bearing veins. Similarities in fluid chemistry from both vein types suggest a genetic link between porphyry Mo mineralization and base-metal veins. Three molybdenite samples were collected from early and late Mo-bearing veins for Re-Os dating to constrain the timing of Mo-mineralizing events within the paragenetic sequence. All three dates overlap within analytical error, and yield a weighted average age of 80.3 ± 0.2 Ma. These dates are in excellent agreement with two 206Pb/238U weighted-average ages of the Trout Lake stock at 80.2 ± 1.0 Ma and 80.9 ± 1.6 Ma, indicating that the magmatic and hydrothermal ore-forming events were coeval and cogenetic.
