From Hydrology to Hydroarchaeology in the Ancient Mediterranean

Abstract

This work appears as part of an interdisciplinary programme, supported by the Foundation A*Midex between 2018–2021, which encourages cross-interdisciplinary initiatives on complex issues to advance knowledge in fields previously exploited by parallel disciplines, and to build knowledge shared by people from different backgrounds.1 It follows on from a previous programme that led to the creation of an international network on water issues in pre-Roman societies: HYDRΩMED.2 Within this framework, a scientific meeting was organised at Aix-Marseille University in May 2019 to strengthen links between archaeology and environmental sciences around water resources in ancient times, in terms of selected topics.
