International audience ; In the last fifteen years, the "archeology of memory" has become increasingly important in the studies of ancient Mediterranean societies. Social practices related to the reuse of the past are highlighted and hold an important place in the reconsideration of notions such as continuity, break and transmission. Despite this, in the study of Minoan and Mycenaean cultures, antiquities get very little of all the attention drawn on material production. Regarding the early Iron Age, whereas various memorial phenomena, such as settlement permanence, religious "continuity", heroes or ancestors worships or the reuse of ruins for cultic or funerary purpose, enjoyed quite the attention, very little has been paid to the long conservation of ancient artefacts. This lack of interest comes from the fact that few of those artefacts are recognized as such, and that hardly ever a parallel is drawn between them and other relevant circumstances. The aim of this contribution is to introduce a method of defining and analyzing these antiquities, using archaeological definitions, by using the tool social sciences provide us with, as well as ethnographic parallels. We will see how the analysis of a corpus of antiquities allow us to understand, from a different point of view, the political, cultural and social phenomena in the Aegean world during LBA and EIA. This requires to take into account the various contexts of social interaction, such as the ritual aspect, the funerary one, but also the domestic and the community-based one. The island of Euboea will be addressed as a regional study, through the sites of Lefkandi and Eretria where several antiquities, bronze-aged as well as iron-aged, have been found. The contextualization of these different antiquities, in conjunction with other forms of remembrance, shows how the memory of the Ancients Greeks could be embodied in objects of the everyday life, as well as in luxurious productions, sometimes exotics. In the same way, the role they might have played in the ...

International audience ; Since the last decade, scholars in archaeology have taken a keen interest in the concept of "network", renewing their approaches of ancient societies. The consideration and analysis of these networks allowa more elaborate study of interactions between the components of theses societies, and a better understanding of economic, social, political and religious structures in specific geographic context. This article introduces the concept of "network" first with a discussion of the definition of the term and its implications, then witha presentation of the history of research as well as by the development of the "science networks" within humanities;with a special focus on its applications in the field of archaeology. We will see which problems this term implies, and the methods that have been developed and used to analyzearchaeological remains with this new way. This article is a methodological introduction to thematic dossier "Archaeology of Networks", stemming from an interdisciplinary seminar held in Strasbourg on 7th and 8thJanuary 2015, on "Archaeology networks: cartography, economy and territory". ; Depuis maintenant plus d'une décennie, les recherches archéologiques intègrent dans leur réflexion la notion de « réseau », renouvelant ainsi leurs approches des sociétés antiques. En effet, la prise en considération et l'analyse de ces réseaux permettent une étude plus approfondie des liens qui existent entre les composants de ces sociétés, et une meilleure compréhension des structures économiques, sociales, politiques et religieuses dans un contexte géographique donné. Cette introduction s'intéresse au concept de réseau en revenant sur la définition de ce terme et sur ses implications, sur l'histoire de la recherche ainsi que sur le développement de la « science des réseaux » au sein des sciences humaines, plus particulièrement dans le domaine de l'archéologie. Nous verrons quelles problématiques le terme sous-entend, et quelles méthodes ont été développées et utilisées pour permettre ...
