Acknowledgments
This book has its origins in the professoral thesis, or HDR1, which I defended on January 9, 2020 at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne2.
I would like to thank Lena Sanders, my supervisor for this work, and the members of the review committee: Étienne Anheim, Jean-Marc Besse, Claude Raynaud, Magali Reghezza-Zit and Sander Van der Leeuw.
This work owes much to valuable discussions and exchanges within research groups I have attended, notably the GDR 2137 TESORA, Traitement de l’espace des sociétés rurales anciennes, coordinated by Gérard Chouquer (CNRS); the ANR program, Alpage; Analyse diachronique de l’espace parisien: approche géomatique, coordinated by Hélène Noizet (University of Paris 1); and the Dynamique des systèmes de peuplement dans la longue durée group, coordinated by Lena Sanders, Marie-Vic Ozouf-Marignier, and Patrice Brun at the Laboratoire d’excellence: Dynamiques territoriales et spatiales (LabEx DynamiTe, ANR project overseen by the University of Paris 1). The ArchéoFab program, Archéologies du Bassin parisien, réseau de sites et réseau d’acteurs at the ArScAn (UMR 7041), directed by Laurent Costa and Christophe Petit, has also provided constant support since 2003. On an international scale, discussions within the Theory and Methods in Landscape Archaeology-Archaeogeography group, which I founded in 2011 under the umbrella of the International Union of Prehistoric and Proto-Historic Sciences (UISPP), have also been a rich source of information and inspiration.
The École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS), to which I belong, is a multi-disciplinary institution, providing a stimulating and wide-ranging research environment. My colleagues, notably Nicolas Verdier and Marie-Vic Ozouf-Marignier, provided constant encouragement and support over the course of this project and for that I am truly thankful.
I would also like to thank Sébastien Le Pipec for his help with my translations, and to Marta Berbès-Blàzquez, William Found, Lance Gunderson, Marten Scheffer and Brian Walker who allowed me to translate and make use of their illustrations, in some cases with my own additions; François Durand-Dastès, who kindly provided me with an updated version of his systemogenesis diagram; and Laurent Costa, who was able to transform my somewhat abstract ideas into helpful diagrams, leading to the illustrations to be found in this book.
Finally, heartfelt thanks to Laurent, Hadrien and Jean-Baptiste, my support team throughout the whole process. To them I dedicate this book.
1 1 In the French university system, the Habilitation à diriger les recherches (HDR) is a postdoctoral qualification that gives access to higher level university teaching posts (e.g. professorships). Obtained on the basis of a reviewed publication (thesis), the HDR is also a prerequisite for directing PhD students.
2 2 Original title: Résiliences et circulations dans les formes du paysage. Parcours en archéogéographie. This book is based on volume 2, entitled La résilience : un cadre pour penser la persistance et le changement dans les formes du paysage.
