Utilising data from qualitative research into the career biographes of creative industries workers in a small coastal town in England, we posit that we are witnessing an emerging working society of leisure. This involves a shift from a consumption to a production focus: 'doing leisure' is now about cultural production. Class remains a major determinant of the leisure experience - the most successful tend to be those with significant external sources of economic and cultural capital. As such, we conclude by arguing that the emergent working society of leisure is neither the social democratic project of classic leisure studies, nor the meritocratic project of liberal democracy, but an inherently classist and exclusionary project of the 'post-work' era.

The situation of Marseilles at the mouth of small watersheds creates an especially protected location which permits precise measurements of human impact and environmental changes. Human habitation of the area appears early and remains continuous. Fos is a Roman port, artificially constructed on a low coastline near the mouth of the Rhone delta. The site has thus been exposed to fluvial dynamics. Constructions along this part of the coast lasted a relatively short time. The differing relastionship between men and their environment in Fos and in Marseilles reflects a difference in natural conditions of the two sites and the limited ability of ancient societies to control these conditions, particulary in the case of lowlands.
