Archéopages 24 - Neighbourhoods and suburbs

To base itself on archaeology in order to rethink our ways of living together in one environment: Such is the editorial line of Archéopages, a scientific journal with a review panel. Each issue develops a specific theme by crossing the points of view of archaeologists of all backgrounds and those of other researchers in human sciences, thus taking stock of the recent contributions of archaeology to the knowledge of societies. A large space is also devoted to modern methods of archaeology. The journal is aimed at researchers, students and enlightened amateurs.
It had become customary to know ancient and medieval towns only by their monumental centres and major structures. Today, preventive archaeology allows a more systematic approach to the urban phenomenon. There, follows a constantly renewed discovery of the city, linked to the development of hierarchy and the specialization of urban society.
