Archéopages 42 - Build in raw clay

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.
What is the status of this building material compared to others? Is its use linked to specific functions of construction? To the social status of the resident? To economic and political situations? To particular natural environments? To what other materials is it associated to and in which contexts? What developments and technical inventions did it promote?
