Paleorelief detection and modelling – a case of study in eastern Languedoc (France)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main objective of the paper is paleo digital elevation model (paleoDEM) detection and modelling, a multidisciplinary approach involving geodesy, archaeology, and paleoenvironmental studies. The digital elevation model (DEM) is an important data layer to understand settlement pattern and socioenvironmental contexts and evolution that archaeologists are using together with GIS analysis. It can, for example help to analyze viewsheds, to define travel time between places, to simulate ancient paths, etc. Considering a period of several millennia, some topographical areas can be considered without fundamental change. Within littoral zones or fluvial areas, however, the situation is different. Sedimentation and erosion change the relief permanently, due to alluvial and sea level dynamic. A nowadays-flat area could be hilly in prehistoric times and the application of present DEM for the analysis is therefore unsuitable, since it would distort the expected result completely.

Nomenclatural issues in the Psammodromus hispanicus (Squamata: Lacertidae) species group.
The Psammodromus hispanicus species group has been recently shown to include three lineages that differ in morphology (San-Jose et al. 2012), have largely parapatric range but exhibit little evidence of historical gene flow (Fitze et al. 2011), leading to the recognition of these three lineages as distinct species (Fitze et al. 2012). The eastern species can be unambiguously associated with the...

Artificial neural network is considered one of the most efficient methods in processing huge data sets that can be analyzed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, prediction, forecasting etc. It has a great prospective in engineering as well as in medical applications. The present work employs artificial neural network-based curve fitting techniques in prediction and forecasting of the Cov...
متن کاملTime and Modernity in the Mediterranean: a Case Study from Languedoc
This article develops a critical perspective on ‘modernity’, derived from an interest in the anthropology of time. Drawing on social scientific and philosophical work on time and temporality, I seek to unravel the temporal dimension of this term, both through an initial theoretical analysis and subsequent ethnographic interrogation. The ethnographic component of the article draws on a year’s fi...
متن کاملResources classification using fractal modelling in Eastern Kahang Cu-Mo porphyry deposit, Central Iran
Resources/reserves classification is crucial for block model creation utilised in mine planning and feasibility study. Selection of estimation methods is an essential part of mineral exploration and mining activities. In other word, resources classification is an issue for mining companies, investors, financial institutions and authorities, but it remains subject to some confusion. The aim of t...
متن کاملModelling of the kaolin deposits and reserve classification challenges of Charentes Basin, France
The kaolinitic clays have been exploited for more than a hundred years, in the western part of the Charentes Basin, France, and belong to a paleo-deltaic network. The recent deposits are relatively richer in alumina in comparison with the older ones. The genesis of the kaolin deposits of the Charentes Basin follows simple geological rules, but their detailed geometry has a great complexity, rei...
