This book brings together young researchers in the sciences of Antiquity, from different European countries, around the question of sources which lies at the origin of any scientific approach in this field of research. Philologists, historians and archaeologists were thus invited to present, based on specific case studies, the difficulties encountered in the constitution and exploitation of their documentary corpora, as well as the different methodologies developed to try to overcome them. These reflections are presented here, organized around three major axes: establishment of the documentary corpus, cross-referencing of sources and multidisciplinary approaches, distance between the researcher and his "sources" this is a clear testimony to the current dynamism of the sciences of Antiquity, whose young representatives intend to evolve the questions and methods without departing from the requirements of erudition and versatility which have characterized this field of research since its origins.
