International audience ; Our recent research on the settlement of Ikaros in the Arab/Persian Gulf brings a new contribution to the knowledge of the networks to which the island belonged from the Hellenistic period to the Parthian period: Seleucid, regional or "international". In particular, the study of the fortifications, which confirms the foundation of the fortress by the Seleucids, highlighted the existence of phases of abandonment which show that the island should then be excluded from the Seleucid kingdom. At the same time, the perennial breeding and consumption of pigs, a practice that we believe to have been introduced on the island by the Seleucids, did not stop even during the phases of absence of this political power. The pottery clearly indicates a coexistence of practices linked to both "Greek" and regional influences. ; Nos recherches récentes sur l'établissement d'Ikaros dans le golfe Arabo-Persique apportent une nouvelle contribution à la connaissance des réseaux auxquels l'île a appartenu, de la période hellénistique à la période parthe : réseaux séleucide, régional ou « international ».

International audience ; Archaeologically, only little is known of the prehistoric, ancient, and medieval periods of central Arabia, the Riyadh Province in particular. And yet, as one of the few watered areas in the Najd, it has played a significant role in the political, economic, and religious history of the Peninsula. In order to throw new light on this region, in 2011 a French-Saudi archaeological mission started work in the Kharj oasis, surveying the area. Several types of site have been located: middle Palaeolithic workshops, Bronze Age necropoleis, and late antique/early Islamic settlements and irrigation systems. The main results of this survey are presented here, focusing on two sites: al-Kharj 22, a middle Palaeolithic site, and the late antique/early Islamic site of al-Yamāma, which was one of the majo
