The Joint Research Unit (UMR) 6566 CReAAH “Centre de Recherche en Archéologie, Archéosciences, Histoire” created in 1991 is an interdisciplinary unit at the crossroads of human and social sciences, environmental sciences and physical and chemical sciences. The project will be part of Team of Archaeology of coastal, maritime and river areas. This team aims to develop innovative coastal observation systems, to gain knowledge of how the coast was occupied and exploited, to understand how coastal, maritime and fluvial landscapes were formed and evolved and how they were developed.
The desired theme is maritime archaeology applied to the evolution of the coastal landscape. There are several possible approaches: 1. the modification of the oceanic coastline by the exploitation of marine resources (adaptation to the environment, resilience, transformation of the territory over the long term); 2. the evolution of navigation practices induced by environmental changes (displacement of port areas, networks, new forms of naval architecture); 3. the diffusion of cultural practices between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans (social and comparative approach, adaptation of practices, empirical knowledge and methods of diffusion).
