Changement d'ampleur de l'exploitation des oiseaux entre le Magdalénien et l'Azilien : l'exemple du Taï 2 (Brome) [Difference in the extent of the exploitation of birds between the Magdalenian and Azilian : the example of Taï 2 (Drome).] [PDF]

open access: yesQuaternaire, 2002
Le Taï 2 a livré une avifaune chassée par l'homme, riche en lagopèdes {Lagopus mutus et L. lagopus) et concentrée dans les niveaux magdaléniens. L'étude de la représentation anatomique, de la fracturation, de la fragmentation, et des traces d'outils, donne des indications sur les méthodes de traitement des lagopèdes et ses objectifs probables.

A comparison of the Lithic industries from two Azilian sites in Aquitaine: how to interpret different degrees of technical simplification?

open access: yesPalethnologie, 2018
The Azilian is generally characterized by a simplification of lithic industries, associated with a regional exploitation of raw materials. The variability of these manifestations is studied here through an analysis of the lithic assemblages of two regions where this culture appears to have evolved differently.

Les vestiges lithiques sont étudiés dans cette thèse pour interroger la caractérisation régionale par rapport aux ...
