Abstract
Inrap’s internal learning aims to present the benefits of the different disciplines (bioarchaeology and geoarchaeology) used for a better understanding of human activities oven time. Cross-cutting examples are presented by theme, such landscape restitution, exploitation of environments, funeral practices, handcrafts, agro-pastoral and food practices. The different themes are treated in a transversal way, by ranking the contributions and limits of each discipline: geomorphology, pedology, micromorphology, palynology, malacology, carpology, xylo- and anthracology, study of phytoliths, entomology, palaeoparasitology, archaeozoology and ichthyology. The stage is also a time for exchanges between the speakers and trainees (excavation managers, technicians, scientific and technical assistant directors), but also with the “decision-makers” and people in charge of the prescriptions, so that the most appropriate studies can be envisaged, upstream, according to the contexts and scientific issues.
