"Preparing and conditioning ancient samples in order to understand the interactions between past environments and societies" Now an assistant engineer, Alain contributes to studies on the interactions between past human societies and natural environments. He analyzes samples taken from archaeological layers and selects certain remains that will be studied by researchers, such as charcoal and seeds by archaeobotanists, animal bones and mollusk shells by archaeozoologists. In parallel with this activity, he manages the storage of archaeological collections studied in his laboratory, participates in excavation sites in France and abroad and carries out experiments on the heat treatments of materials.
