Apports du pénétrométre à la connaissance d'un site préhistorique. Le cas de l'abri de Diepkloof, province du Cap, Afrique du Sud.

Abstract

HAL is a multidisciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés. Apports du pénétromètre à la connaissance d'un site préhistorique : le cas de l'abri de Diepkloof, Province du Cap, Afrique du Sud.

Evidence for historical human-induced extinctions of vertebrate species on La DÉsirade (French West Indies)

“…Sediment descriptions were based on soil (colour, texture, structure) and sedimentological criteria (bedding, clast type and orientation) complemented by the geometry of the deposits and the nature of the contact between layers. Tests with a PANDA light dynamic penetrometer were carried out to sound the absolute depth of the deposits and document layers undetected during excavations (Lenoble and Martinaud, 2003). A radiocarbon date obtained on fish bones was calibrated with Calib software 7.1 (Stuiver and Reimer, 1993) using the Marine 13 calibration curve provided by Reimer et al (2013) assuming an averaged reservoir effect Delta R value of −27 years based on the ten nearest data points.…”

Thermoluminescence dating of a Stillbay–Howiesons Poort sequence at Diepkloof Rock Shelter (Western Cape, South Africa)

“…2), with a focus on squares L-M6, where the deposit was expected to be the thickest (Lenoble and Martinaud, 2003). Currently ca.…”

Thickness Estimation of the Soil‐Sedimentary Cover Inside Causewayed Enclosures to Locate an Occupation Layer: Map of the Archaeological Potential of the Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure of Le Pontet

“…The penetration resistance values are presented as a function of the depth (penetrogram). The PANDA 2 penetrometer was diverted from its traditional use to be used in archaeology (Laurent 2007; Lenoble and Martinaud 2003).…”

“…The model was calculated using the root mean square error (RMSE). The depth of appearance provided by the penetration tests was isolated and showed a very high variability related to the presence of limestone blocks or cragginess in the substratum (Lenoble and Martinaud 2003). Moreover, the integration volume of the penetration resistance (a few centimetres around the cone; Breysse et al 2002) is very small compared to the integration volume of the apparent resistivity.…”
