Archéopages 31 - Sweet and salty

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.
Archaeology is not stingy with testimonies on the production of salt and sugar. To obtain these two essential products, men have competed with technical ingenuity, both domestically and in trade.
