Abstract EN:
The purpose of this dissertaion is the study of the retaining walls and of the enclosure walls of delphi, build on dressed stones. In the first part, we are talking about the nature of the materials used : their nature, the quarries, the quarrying and transport process. The second part contains the treatment of the materials : the successif stages of each construction from its foundations to its crowning, the development of the building technics (processing of all the sides of a block, masonry choosed, technical solutions adopted in order to make the constructions more resistant, different phases of the work) as well as the definition of the general tendances of each period. The study of the architectural environment occupies the 3rd part of this study ; we are talleing about the regional and urban system of roads as well as of the main stages of the development of the principal architectural groups.

Le but de cette these est d'etudier les soutenements et les periboles de delphes, construits en pierres travaillees. Dans la premiere partie, il est question des materiaux utilises : de leur nature, des carrieres, des procedes d'extraction et de transport. La deuxieme partie comprend la mise en oeuvre des materiaux, c'est-a-dire les etapes successives de chaque construction depuis les fondations jusqu'au couronnement, ainsi que le developpement des techniques de construction : traitement des toutes les faces de blocs, appareils choisis, solutions techniques adoptes en vue de la resistance aux diverses agression, differentes phases du travail, et enfin definir les tendances generales de chaque epoque. L'etude de l'environnement architectural occupe la troisieme partie de cette etude : il est question du reseau de routes regional et urbain ainsi que des grandes etapes de developpement des principaux ensembles.
