The workshop proposes to compare and discuss the diversity of past water management practices in the Mediterranean basin. It is proposed to analyse the differences existing between ancient hydraulic systems in relation with ecological, climatic, historical and cultural factors. The main objective is to show that a great variety of perceptions and uses of water which existed in the Mediterranean basin and to determine the causes of this diversity. With this aim, several specialists have been invited to present their studies and discuss about the archaeology of water as an expression of the diversity of “Cultures of Water”. Case studies from Eastern to Western Mediterranean, and from Neolithic to Medieval periods will be presented.
