Identité technique et comportements économiques des groupes proto-aurignaciens à la grotte de l’Observatoire (principauté de Monaco)

Abstract: Mots-clés. Arc méditerranéen, approvisionnement minéral, production lithique, schéma de mobilité, diffusion, hommes anatomiquement modernes. Résumé. Cet article présente de premiers résultats et réflexions sur l'assemblage lithique proto-aurignacien de la grotte de l'Observatoire (principauté de Monaco) et fait valoir l'intérêt de ce contexte régional pour l'étude de la diffusion du Paléolithique supérieur en Europe occidentale. Cette étude confirme l'attribution des niveaux G et F au complexe proto-aurignacie… Show more

“…Here we will discuss the role of rock selection in lithic technology and how it affected the territorial organizations of groups. Using examples from the Upper Paleolithic of the Liguro‐Provençal Arc and focusing on the Proto‐Aurignacian of the Observatoire Cave and the Epigravettian of the Fanciulli Cave, we have obtained results showing that regional groups favored high‐quality flints introduced from distances greater than 100 km . We argue that incidental or embedded raw‐material procurement cannot explain the long‐distance procurements we have observed.…”

“…This is well illustrated by the Observatoire Cave (Principality of Monaco). Within this sequence, we observe a clear change in the raw‐material procurement strategies with the selection of large volumes of silicified limestone during the Lower Paleolithic, diversified siliceous rocks during the Middle Palaeolithic, and high‐quality flints during the Upper Palaeolithic . These changes may reflect different capacities of adaptation and different territorial organizations.…”

“…The size of the bladelet cores as well as the absence of blade scars on them may indicate that these bladelet cores are not reduced blade cores (Bon, 2002). Independent bladelet production has been described in the Protoaurignacian of the Grotte du Renne, level VII (Bon and Bodu, 2002), of Isturitz, level C4dIII (Normand, 2006) of l'Observatoire (Porraz et al, 2010,) and of Mandrin (Slimak et al, 2006). Retouched tools are mainly retouched bladelets which are almost always Dufour sub-type Dufour (44% of the 195 retouched tools).…”

“…This region was a narrow corridor even during glacial times according to the bathymetry of the sea bottom (IBCM, 2014). Consequently, from an archaeological perspective, the Liguro-Provençal Arc should have been a natural axis channelling the circulation of both humans and animals between central Italy and Southern France (Porraz et al, 2010).…”
