A Larsa (Iraq du Sud), site de 200 hectares qui domina la Mésopotamie au début du 2e millénaire av. J.-C., l’étude du système hydraulique, urbain et péri-urbain, est en cours. Elle s’appuie notamment sur l’approche géophysique, moyen privilégié d’identification et d’interprétation des structures enfouies et de leur cartographie. L’étude des signatures magnétiques des ouvrages d’adduction (canaux et canalisations), de stockage (bassins) et de protection (digues) permet, au-delà de leur caractérisation typologique (architecturale et architectonique), l’analyse fonctionnelle d’un système aussi vaste que complexe.
Abstract
In Larsa (Southern Iraq), a 200 hectares site which dominated Mesopotamia at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC, the study of the hydraulic system, urban and peri-urban, is in progress. It relies in particular on the geophysical approach, a preferred means of identification and interpretation of buried structures and their mapping. The study of the magnetic signatures of conveyance (canals and pipes), storage (basins) and protection (dykes) works allows, beyond their typological characterization (architectural and architectonic), the functional analysis of a system as vast as it is complex.
