Hi Benjamin, could you point me to some explanations of this xtent model 
and how to use it in grass ?

In France, even if it has been teach in the mid'90s there is now only an 
handful of people using GRASS. The main sofwares used are MapInfo and 
Arcgis, with gvsig being the new frontend to the gov archeological 
register. GIS are used to study the repartition of the material and 
sites, the relation between sites and mainly the production of maps.

The volumetric's abilities of GRASS would often be a godsend but too few 
knows about it.
