In Western countries, the ways of life of forest artisans have left very few traces, either in the earth or in archives. The mobility of these persons, the fact that their activity was dependent upon the cycle of regeneration of the plant cover and their marginalization provide an explanation. The use of ethnoarchaeological sources is thus vital to guide the textual and archaeological interpretation (ACOVITSIOTI-HAMEAU 2005; FABRE 1996; LUGLI, PRACCHIA 1995; MUSSET 1996). This ethnoarchaeological approach helps the archaeologist to discover, identify and interpret the structures that he finds. From this standpoint, the study of post-depositional processes is necessary to better conduct archaeological excavation and better understand the series of operations that occurred and the associated technical actions. The Moroccan countryside today is a veritable repository of traditional ways of life and technical knowledge in Mediterranean lands, knowledge that has completely disappeared from Western Europe. This is particularly the case for the production of charcoal in the eucalyptus forests of the plain of Mârmora and in the evergreen oak forests of the Middle Atlas, studied in 2008 and 2009. In the latter case, the biogeographic and topographic situation is identical to that of the medieval sites for charcoal production being excavated in lower Provence"

The interweaving of historical (charters and notarial sources, literary sources, iconography), archaeological and ethnoarchaeological data focuses on three main questions : how are tools made partially from wood made to work this same material, how can they be identified and recognized in technical processes, and what are the technical gestures used . The results underline the great variability in the way of using the same tools in different stages of different technical processes. Technical innovation and intensive change in craft production during the late Middle Ages is also discussed.

The concept of marginal landscape is often used by historians and archaeologists to qualify peripheric lands, such as islands, and all non intensive agricultural lands, such as mountains, forests and wetlands. The use of this concept must be cautious and argued according to the complexity of the notions of margin and landscape. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate, throught a historical and archaeological cross-study of late medieval incultum landscape in Provence that a so-called marginal landscape may in fact be a spatial, economical and social integrated landscape.

Fuel supply is a critical element in the development of crafts and proto-industry in medieval and
post medieval Europe. Significant quantities of fuel are needed for activities such as metal
production and metal working, brick and tile manufacture, ceramics, lime burning, tanning and
dyeing, glass production, soap making, processing of salt, sugar and other products. Plant
resources (firewood, charcoal, straw…) are the main fuel resources until coal appears in Northern
Europe in the XIIth century. However, the use of coal remains limited and very unevenly
distributed between regions until the XVIIth century. As the use of mineral fuel becomes more
widespread in Europe, the role of forest changes, since when charcoal production decreases, less
wood is needed. At the same time, mining of fossil coal also has a heavy impact on the landscape.
Supply strategies are based on complex political and socio-economic relationships (regulation,
control, agreements) between industrial areas and their hinterlands, leading to supply and
transportation networks by land, river and sea. Fuel supply is a specific economic market involving
a large range of actors (woodcutters, miners, fuel sellers, fuel dealers, and clients). The increase
in demand for fuel impacts the availability of resources and sometimes leads to environmental
crises. Societies must adapt by changing the type of fuel used or by adopting different resource
management strategies.
Until now, research has been conducted according to discipline (history/archaeology/paleobotany),
geographical situation (Mediterranean/Continental or Northern Europe) or theme (plant
fuel/mineral fuel). This lack of a multidisciplinary approach has held back the development of
global research on fuel supply strategies. This session aims to gather researchers from different
disciplines in order to provide a comprehensive overview of fuel supply in medieval and postmedieval
crafts and industries, from acquisition to consumption of raw materials, in economic,
technical and social dimensions.

Contrasting with the Prehistory for which the question of the beginning of the consumption of dairy products is of critical importance, few studies are devoted to the production and consumption of these products during medieval and post-medieval periods. However, dairy products, especially cheese, are key components of the Mediterranean diet. Sometimes disregarded, sometimes recommended by dieticians, the latter are traded both at local and international scale. This workshop aims at gathering researchers from different disciplines (history, archaeology, iconography, organic chemistry, zootechny) to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic. We propose three main lines of reflection:
For a technical history ofdairy products
  -  From grass to milk : herding of dairy sheep, goat and cow
  -  Diversity of dairy products (milk, butter, cream, cheese) and their operational chain
  -  Structures of production /conservation and material culture

From local to international : the dairy products in the Mediterranean trade
  -  Dairy products from plains and mountains
  -  From local to International trade

From food to health:  diversity of dairy products consumption   
  - Milk consumption: from infancy to adulthood
  -  Butter and cheese at the table of the poor and the rich
  - The role of dairy products in the therapeutics and dietetics
