Occupation and management of Bergerac territory between 250 and 35 Kans: testing a techno-economic overview

Gallia Préhistoire, 2023
. In this work, we propose to examine human activities from 72 occupations within a well-defined territory, the Bergeracois, during the Pleistocene between 250 and 35 ka. The study is based on bibliographical data stemming from programmed excavations and

The “Upper Paleolithic” of South Arabia

, 2009
The practice of assigning names to archaeological periods in Arabia is inherently problematic. Just as the Arabian subcontinent is the geographic bridge between Africa and Eurasia; similarly, it is wedged between the bifurcation of Eurasian and African taxonomic schema.

Deciphering the Palimpsest: Chronological Uncertainty and the Interpretation of Mining Landscapes at Písečný vrch (Czech Republic)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigated the Písečný vrch (Czech Republic), a site exploited for quartz mining in both prehistoric times and the 20th century. Due to their morphological similarity across all mining periods, the differentiation between pits with archaeological potential and recent ones is challenging.

Integrating ZooMS and taphonomy further highlights differential processing of animal and Neandertal carcasses in the Quina Mousterian at Les Pradelles (Marillac‐le‐Franc, southwest France)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cave of Les Pradelles (Marillac‐le‐Franc, France) was repeatedly visited by Neandertals ~55 000 years ago and is a key site in discussions of Neandertal cannibalism. Excavations between 1967 and 1980 (Vandermeersch) and between 2001 and 2013 (Maureille/Mann) produced a rich faunal assemblage (>20 000 bones), alongside Quina Mousterian ...

Stable isotope analysis of freshwater gastropod carbonates from Swanscombe: Insights into climate stability and seasonality during MIS 11c

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stable isotope analyses of freshwater mollusc carbonate can record environmental conditions at the time of mineralisation, yet this technique remains underused in British Middle Pleistocene fluvial sequences, despite the abundance of fossil shell material in these deposits.

L’ours au Paléolithique. Des études orientées ?

Archéopages, 2010
Archaeological deposits containing the remains of bears are frequent in Europe. Most of them are in caves where the animals hibernated however sites specific to brown bears, which are less common, are not always in caves.
