Paul Arthur, Naples: a case of urban survival in the early Middle Ages?, p. 759-784.Working from both written sources and from a body of new archaeological evidence, the paper intends to demonstrate the quality of Naples through early medieval times.It is argued that the evidence demonstrates its continued urban status at a time when many old Roman towns effectively vanished or become minor centres, no longer possessing urban characteristics. The reasons for the singular status of Naples are discussed and an attempt is made to review its importance within the context of the changing European and Mediterranean worlds of the later first millennium.

Despite the ambitious number of inventories and editions made over the last thirty years concerning the acts of the dukes ofNormandy, only a handful of unidentified copies of previously known acts have been found. The recent discovery of a new ducal act for the period up to 1066 thus merits a thorough presentation, since it was produced by the most famous of all dukes of Normandy and in favor of Avranches Cathedral, one of the most neglected ecclesiastical institutions in the historical literature on Normandy. The present article has two objectives : to render accessible the text of the new act, the first of William’s charters to be discovered in fifty years ; and to improve our knowledge of ducal activity in a region whose history in the first half of the eleventh century is still relatively obscure.

The caves into the "Massif des Calanques" and their sedimentary fillings are assignable in function of several phases in the karstification processes from Oligocene down the quaternary time. The oldest observed are some paleokarsts sealed by masses and calcitic veins with deformations and faults in relation to the Marseilles's Basin collapsing and meridional breakdown sectors.At the upper Miocene, compressive reactivation assigns some parts of mdured fillings calcareous silts (red-brick color) from reshaped and trapped powdery altentes This deposit is continued down early quaternary time. At Pliocene, the karstic holes are filled by thick speleothems (calcite complex) marking several long and war-wet periods at lower Pleistocene ago. Some faults reactivations are observed with sismic stalactic falls. Middle and upper quaternary epochs shows the last stalagmitic zoned flowstones and the former cave-filling. These formations are eroded by a digging restarting into talwegs in the relation to the last glacial regressive marine level Cryoclastic screes and eolianites forms many slopes from the cliffs down lower marine sea-level toward -115m, whereas the prehistoric men (Upper Paleolitic , Cosquer's cave) are established in the caves down to Neolitic, Chalcolitic and Bronze periods. The last stages of sedimentary karstic fillings are marked by grey-ashed silts . Iron Age, Greek, roman and High Medieval times At the Little Ice Age (from XVe C. to XIXe C), the last screes forms a covering upon the archeological layers.
