Salle Duguesclin, Palais de la Raymondie The emergence of the bastides in southern France
The creation of bastides affected the whole of south-western France in the 13th century. The closest bastide is the royal bastide of Puybrun which received its charter of customs and privileges on 2nd May 1282 and was confirmed by the king in July of the same year. With Jean-Pierre Laussac, secretary of the Association of the bastide of Puybrun, former director of research at the CNRS*. * National Centre for Scientific Research |
Saturday 9th April 2016 at 5pm
Salle Duguesclin, Palais de la Raymondie Niederlander and Arnal, two independent reseachers With Jean Gasco, responsible for research at the CNRS, UMR 5140, who led the archeological excavations of the sinkhole (or doline) of the Roucadour cave at Thémines. |
After the discovery of the body of the hermit Amadour in 1166, Martel became a stopover point for pilgrims to Rocamadour coming from the north. So it is not surprising that many hostels and inns thrived in the town. There were also hospitals, whose function was to welcome not only the poor and sick of the town but also needy or exhausted travellers. Three hospitals flourished - Saint Marc, de la Vere Croix, and Saint Esprit, without counting the mythical Templar hospital and the consuls' large hospital.
After a time of great prosperity in the Middle Ages, this tradition of hospitality waned during the wars of the 15th and 16th centuries. Later the numbers of merchants passing through Martel diminished as they turned to the post road through Souillac, where the salt traders kept the salt traffic for themselves. As pilgrimage became less fashionable, Martel, now a town of law makers, slept behind the severe facades of its smart houses. It is the distant past that we will attempt to make come to life." |

Conference

TEN years of research at
Cuzoul, Gramat : Appraisal and perspective Nicolas Valdeyron, professor of prehistory at the University of Toulouse Jean-Jaurés, talks about his ten years of research carried out at the site of Cuzoul with a team of student volunteers, young people who are studying the history of art and archeology. The deposit at Cuzoul is one of the rare sequences of reference for the Mesolithic in the south of France. The deposit was first explored from 1923 by R. Lacam and A. Niederlender. Their first work covered only the interior of the cavity and demonstrated the presence, under around 2m of sediments, of a unique amount of accumulated archeological material. It was only in 1927 that a much more important and interesting archeological sequence was identified, qualified as dating from the Azilo-Sauveterrian to the Iron Age, passing through Mesolithic and ancient Neolithic. |
Nicolas Valdeyron, professor of prehistory at the University of Toulouse, deputy director of the Traces laboratory and specialist in the Mesolithic.
