Circulation de géomatières sur de longues distances au Paléolithique supérieur : le cas des silex du Turonien du Sud du Bassin parisien

Habitat suitability and the genetic structure of human populations during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in Western Europe

“…Procurement distances > 200 km were very rare in Western Europe (Fig 11 in [48]) but did occur. In a more recent study, Delvigne et al [49] traced the distribution of flint from a specific flint source in the Paris Basin and report similar figures to Féblot-Augustin, with average transfer distances of 100 km during the Upper Palaeolithic. Regular transfers of up to 200 km occurred but were relatively rare during the LGM, which the authors attribute to the northerly location of the source [49].…”

Finally, Wiessner [50] documents reciprocal exchanges between hunter-gatherers in the Kalahari over distances of up to 200 km.…”

Petroarcheológiai tanfolyam a szilicit nyersanyagokról – elméleti és gyakorlati képzés a Schelde és a Rajna közötti terület kőzetein

“…Az így azonosított nyersanyagforrások pedig hiteles képet tudnak nyújtani a régészeknek, hogy az őskori pattintók pontosan honnan gyűjtöttek és milyen helyzetű (pl. kolluviális vagy alluviális) forrásokat használtak kőnyersanyag beszerzés céljából (Fernandes 2006;Fernandes 2012;Fernandes & Raynal 2006;Delvigne et al 2017;Delvigne et al 2019, 94).…”

Breaking bad? Discarding the solutrean norms: Chronology, evolution and geographical extent of the badegoulian phenomenon in Western Europe

“…-There is no reliable archaeological sequence documenting the transition between the Upper Solutrean and the Salpetrian: Upper Solutrean is lacking at La Salpêtrière (Bazile, 1990;Boccaccio, 1999) and other Salpetrian assemblages are from undatable single-layered open-air sites (Boccaccio, 2006a;2006b;Bazile and Boccaccio, 2008); -Upper Solutrean is poorly documented in the Rhône valley, both typo-technologically and chronologically: Baume d'Oullins (Bazile and Bazile-Robert, 1979) is the only known evidence, yielding Salpetrian-type shouldered points together with "pointes à face plane" (Bazile and Boccaccio, 2007) suggesting a possible mix between Early Solutrean and Salpetrian components; -Evidence of Salpetrian-type shouldered points within Upper Solutrean assemblages is documented and vice versa: as pointed out by G. Boccaccio (2005, p. 458), scarce but clear evidence from Le Fourneau-du-Diable, Dordogne, shows high typotechnological similarities with Salpetrian standards; similarly, the Salpetrian assemblage of the La Rouvière open-air site, Ardèche, gave a typical Atlantic-type Upper Solutrean shouldered point manufactured with flat and invasive retouch applied on a non-Salpetrian blank (Boccaccio, 2005, p. 231); note that the raw material used to produce the latter artifact was potentially acquired from the Turonian outcrops of the Cher valley (Delvigne et al, 2017); -The archaeological succession between Salpetrian and raclette-yielding Badegoulian is known at the Petite Grotte de Bize, Aude: despite the limitation of these old excavations (see table 1), Bize provides a unique relative chronology confirming this succession; the challenge is now to give an age to this transition in order to know if it occurred prior to the emergence of Lassac-type assemblages ca. 21,5 cal ka BP (figure 2 and 6b; ongoing research in the framework of the LA_BA project, Ducasse and Sacchi dir.…”
