Abstract

[fre] Résumé La documentation relative à l'impact des sociétés antiques sur l'environnement est essentiellement d'ordre archéologique. Elle est liée au développement d'une forme nouvelle des disciplines archéologiques, l'archéologie des paysages, dont l'objet est précisément la relation homme/milieu. Par sa fragilité, le milieu méditerranéen permet ce type de recherche. Cet article présente une série d'exemples de l'impact de la Romanisation enregistrés par les dépôts sédi- mentaires en Gaule du Sud. Il a pu exister des exemples de dégradation rapide du milieu sous l'effet d'activités agricoles ou artisanales qui constituent des précédents à ce que connaissent nos sociétés. Mais le principal intérêt que présente une observation dans la « longue durée » est de mettre en évidence l'importance du seuil franchi avec l'âge industriel. [eng] Abstract The documentation related to the impact of ancient societies on environment is essentially archaeological. This can be linked with the development of a new archaeological approach, landscape archaeology, whose subject matter is precisely the relationship between man and milieu. Because of its fragility, the Mediterranean environment allows this kind of research. This paper presents a series of examples on the impact of Romanization recorded by the sedimentary deposits in Southern Gaul. Some examples of quick degradation of the milieu due to the effect of agricultural or craft activities exist. These represent some precedents to current environmental situations. But the main interest that observation of the "longue durée" presents is to highlight the importance of the threshold crossed by industrial societies.
