Ajaccio The territory has for some years a significant increase in archaeological operations authorized by the Regional Archaeology Service (DRAC Corsica). Surveys, inventories, surveys, diagnostics and preventive excavations have been carried out on common Afa Ajaccio, Alata, Appietto, Bastelicaccia, Coti-Chiavari-Prugna Grosseto, Pietrosella, Sarrola-Carcopino and Villanova. The results of this work deserve to be presented today to institutional partners supporting and authorizing the archaeological operations in the scientific community and the general public. Twenty university stakeholders, scientists and professionals have returned during this conference a varied picture of archaeological, historical and architectural land surrounding the Gulf of Ajaccio. We have included six millennia of occupation from prehistoric times to modern times in a territory rich in nine districts.
The symposium was held from November 12 to 14 by presenting lectures in days , films, documentaries and two evening shows: children's work and posters. November 14 was devoted to visiting heritage sites in the towns of Alata, Ajaccio and Villanova.

The LRA was established in 2004 under the leadership of Daniel Istria (charge Research at the CNRS) and was supported from its inception by the Territorial Community of Corsica to be a key link between scientists and the general public. Archaeologists from the LRA's main tasks conducting prospecting operations inventories diachronic-hiking in order to search for new archaeological sites and monuments. These archaeological operations can expand and update the national archaeological map and enrich the knowledge of the island's heritage. These features enable to trace and understand the process of occupation of these towns.
illustration was one of their missions:
• Valuation of discoveries from the field work in the tourism and economic dynamics,
• public awareness,
• Extension of the results and thanks to a tour of major archaeological sites,
• the establishment of conferences in hotels,
• educational workshops in schools or outside of school (kindergarten to high school) ,
• writing scientific publications,
• participation in national events such as the annual Festival of Science and Heritage Days.
The symposium began with opening statements from the deputy mayor of the Ajaccio, Simon Renucci, and the regional curator of archeology, Joseph Cesari.
The chairpersons, Mr Vincent Maliet (Conservative Heritage to CTC), Mr. Philippe Colombani (medievalist) and Mr. Sebastien Ottavi (Associate Professor of History) were thanked warmly.
This conference was an opportunity to present the work of the LRA for the past five years. This work was supplemented by studies conducted by researchers who worked on the microwave region. Thus it was possible to get an idea of all assets archaeological, historical and architectural planning Ajaccio on a period of time ranging from prehistoric to modern times .

The class of kindergarten Martine Lebaud (Loretto School in Ajaccio) has started to reproduce a Neolithic village of 6 th millennium. Construction methods and materials are identical to those of our earliest ancestors.
class graduate of Jean-François Olivesi (school-Petreto Bichisano) reconstituted the torre Balestra, a threshing floor (the Aghja) and old cultivation terraces. Among the many works of workshops on Wednesday afternoon, we have exhibited paintings representing the Paleolithic rock art.
Visiting sites Sunday, November 14, 2010
The symposium was closed by November 14th visit several heritage sites assembled in a circuit. Nearly a forty people gathered at the junction leading to the castle of Punta. After carpooling, we headed towards the castle of Punta located on the town of Alata. The tour began with an explanation of the origin of this iconic building family Pozzo di Borgo. We crossed the "little Africa", that is to say, the upper gardens of the castle, to circumvent punta Pozzo di Borgo to the south. We observed threshing floor in the late nineteenth century or early twentieth century, backed by archaeological structures enigmatic. The ascent to the punta di Lisa (common Villanova) started, to discover the mega-structures built of large stones of granite, evidence of accommodation of fortifications. A menhir, slightly away from the path, is an eloquent testimony of this past due during the second millennium protohistoric about. Arrived off the shelf punta di Lisa, a well-deserved picnic was enjoyed under a bright sun. We then close the ruins of castellu di in Moneta, medieval fortress of the XIV century. Some sherds and rock-shelters built were used to trace the lives of these men of the past. One of the many fountains erected under Napoleon was observed to return. The visit ended at 17h with walkers and seekers of new excited heritage trails in the territory Ajaccio.
