“…The site of Le Rozel (49°28′20.92″N, 1°50′25.58″W) (Manche, France) is part of a paleodune system formed during the Upper Pleistocene, between ∼115,000 and ∼70,000 y ago (33)(34)(35)(36). It currently lies in a creek between the beach of Surtainville to the south and a Cambrian schist cliff to the northwest (SI Appendix, Figs.…”

Footprints represent a unique snapshot of hominin life. They provide information on the size and composition of groups that differs from osteological and archeological remains, whose contemporaneity is difficult to establish. We report here on the discovery of 257 footprints dated to 80,000 y from the Paleolithic site at Le Rozel (Normandy, France), which represent the largest known Neandertal ichnological assemblage to date. We investigate the size and composition of a track-maker group from this large set by developing a morphometric method based on experimental footprints. Our analyses indicate that the footprints were made by a small group comprising different age classes, from early childhood to adult, with a majority of children. The Le Rozel footprints thus provide direct evidence for the size and composition of a Neandertal social group.

“…These events are also recorded offshore along the Reykjaness ridge (Eynaud et al, 2004). The occurrence of two distinct highstands during MIS 5e is common in western Europe and has been dated at <125 and >115 ka in Normandy (Van Vliet-Lanoë et al, 2006) and along the Mediterranean (Orszag-Sperber et al, 2001;Bardají et al, 2009;Mauz et al, 2009). The short regression probably corresponds to the lowstand at approx.…”

Volcanism in eastern Iceland has controlled the changes in glacier-and river-drainage patterns and the sedimentary budget, particularly during the Middle and Late Pleistocene. The glacial extent in NE Iceland appears to be related to the impact of volcanic activity, not only on the ice-stream dynamics, but also on the sedimentary successions. Analysis of the Jökuldalur and Jökulsa á Brù records results in a new interpretation of the changes in ice extent and flow direction for at least the last two glaciations. From MIS 8 onward, the development of the Snaefell volcano apparently forced the ice stream that derived from the Vatnajökull ice cap to take another course; it also affected the offshore sedimentary budgets at the new outlet at Vopnafjördur. The MIS 6 ice sheet was thick and extensive, and associated with an icestream diversion to the North. The thick sedimentary complex of palaeolake Halslón was formed close to an outlet of the Vatnajökull, the Brùarjökull, during Termination II and a part of the MIS 5e interglacial. The deposits formed during MIS 5e record two climate optima interrupted by two successive glacial advances correlated with the mid-Eemian cooling. The deposits of the Weichselian deglaciation (Termination I) are much more limited in thickness. During the Last Glacial Maximum and the Late Glacial, glaciers also seem to have been restricted in the Jökulsa á Brù area. Valley glaciers issued from the Brùarjökull re-advanced several times in the Jökuldalur only during at least the Older Dryas, the Younger Dryas and the Preboreal. NE Iceland has undergone considerable deglaciation since the Bølling. In contrast to the conclusions of previous studies, the results presented here are consistent with data on the glaciations in other Nordic regions and can increase the understanding of the mid-Eemian cooling.

“…Les nombreuses fracturations d'os longs et les traces de découpe témoignent d'une récupération maximum de nourriture (viande, langue et moelle osseuse). Par contre la saisonnalité indique des occupations de l'abri et de la dune à des périodes différentes de l'année : l'abri est occupé à la fin de l'hiver ou au début du printemps, alors que la dune est fréquentée durant l'automne ou l'hiver (Auguste in Van Vliet-Lanoë et al, 2006).…”
