Abstract This article sheds an entirely new light on the study of the plague thanks to contributions from disciplines that are only seldom brought together around the same research topic: anthropology, archaeology, historical demography, history, microbiology and paleodemography. It confronts two types of documents: biological archives (the skeletons) and historical archives, the comparative study of which has provided new and original information.Distribution of the casualties by sex, age and intensity of the epidemic phase has been established and compared with previous results. The age distribution of deaths from the plague differs from “natural” mortality profiles and from deaths resulting from other epidemics or other demographic crises. The plague epidemic may be characterized as “non selective”, given that the bio- or paleodemographic sample may be considered as a reflection of the structure of the living population, something which is rarely observed.The results that we present concern a recent period for which the historical archives are of exceptional richness and provide a great deal of information on modern plague epidemics. The results from anthropological fieldwork and microbiology enable us to envisage similar research on more ancient epidemics, even in the absence of written documents.

Cet article apporte un eclairage totalement nouveau a l’etude de la peste grâce aux apports de disciplines qui ne se rencontrent que rarement autour d’un meme sujet de recherche : anthropologie, archeologie, demographie historique, histoire, microbiologie et paleodemographie. Il confronte deux types de documents : les archives biologiques (les squelettes) et les archives historiques, dont la mise en parallele a apporte des informations originales et inedites.La repartition des victimes par sexe, par âge et selon l’intensite de la phase epidemique a pu etre etablie et comparee a des resultats anterieurs. La repartition des deces par peste selon l’âge differe des profils de mortalite « naturelle » et de ceux resultant d’autres epidemies ou d’autres crises demographiques. On peut qualifier l’epidemie de peste de « non selective », l’echantillon bio- ou paleodemographique pouvant etre tenu comme un reflet de la structure de la population vivante, cas de figure qui est rarement observe.Les resultats que nous presentons concernent une periode recente pour laquelle les archives historiques sont d’une richesse exceptionnelle, ce qui nous offre une tres bonne connaissance des epidemies de peste modernes. Les resultats obtenus en anthropologie de terrain et en microbiologie nous permettent d’envisager des recherches similaires sur des epidemies plus anciennes, meme en l’absence de documents ecrits.

Seguy (Isabelle).- La encuesta de poblacion en Francia de 1500 a 1700 de J.N. Biraben: Presentacion, fuentes y bibliografia La encuesta retrospectiva llevada a cabo por J.N. Biraben para estimar los movimien- tos de poblacion en Francia desde 1500 se basa en los primeros registros de estado civil. Una presentacion detallada del periodo considerado y de las fuentes utilizadas es necesaria para aclarar las dificultades encontradas y el porque de la seleccion de ciertas metodolo- gias. Este articulo tambien describe la colecta de datos numericos (finalizada) y nominati- vos (en curso).

At the beginning of the 18th century, the Provence region was hit by several severe epidemics whose causes are still not clearly understood. To draw up epidemic profiles and to identify the pathogenic agents concerned, we constituted a large onomastic database and built a geographic information system for Martigues, a medium-sized community in the south of France. The cross-linking of epidemiological, spatial and demographical data allows us to propose a new diagnosis for the epidemic which reached Martigues in the autumn of 1705.
