“…This is somewhat unusual for a Younger Dryas-period site in our region. Rather, a "warm" fauna seems to predominate (as is also known in the Laborian ancien / Laborien recent [ 141 ])–but, however, the determinable faunal remains are rare so that further analyses (and significant finds) are necessary.…”

Until now, it was considered certain that the last reindeer hunters of the Ahrensburgian (tanged point groups) existed exclusively in northwestern Central Europe during the Younger Dryas Cold Period (~ Greenland Stadial 1). The excavations carried out since 2006 on the forecourt (Vorplatz) of the small Blätterhöhle in Hagen on the northern edge of the Sauerland uplands of southern Westphalia (North Rhine-Westphalia, western Germany) have now changed this view. Beneath a surprisingly extensive sequence of Mesolithic find horizons, Pleistocene sediments could be reached whose excavations yielded a Final Palaeolithic lithic ensemble of the Younger Dryas, unusual for the region and beyond. It is characterised by numerous backed lithic projectile points of high variability. Comparisons suggest a typological-technological connection with the Western European Laborian / Late Laborian. Neither in the nearer nor in the wider surroundings has a comparable lithic find ensemble been found so far. In addition, there is a lack of clear evidence for the reindeer in the fauna. Surprisingly, the vast majority of radiocarbon dates of bones and charcoals from the investigated archaeological horizon of the Final Pleistocene proved to be significantly older than expected from their stratigraphic position. This phenomenon has not yet been clarified.

In order to track diachronic changes in archaeological sequences, researchers typically partition time into stratigraphic layers defined during fieldwork, which serve as the framework for ensuing analyses. These analytical units have a significant impact on archaeological inference, defining its resolution, and influencing both the study of cultural assemblages and the reconstruction of past environments. However, field layers are seldom re-evaluated after excavation despite the fact that archaeological deposits are now commonly recognised as often containing material ‘mixed’ together by site formation processes, excavation techniques, or analytical practices. Although the analysis of intra-site spatial data clearly offers a means to overcome these issues, our literature review of 192 journal articles revealed the potential of this data (notably vertical projections of piece-plotted artefacts) to be under-exploited in prehistoric archaeology. Here, we advocate for the development of a more spatially informed framework for interpretation that we refer to as post-excavation stratigraphy or PES. After proposing a definition for PES, we attempt to develop a framework for theoretical considerations underlying their implication, importance, and potential. Three main benefits of PES are highlighted: ensuring assemblage reliability, increased chronological and spatial resolution, and more reliable interpretations based on a multi-stratigraphic approach. We contend that the stratigraphy defined during fieldwork is insufficient and potentially misleading. By providing a different “stratigraphic view” of the same sequence, each specialist can contribute data that, when combined, produces a better understanding of interactions between changes in, for example, technological or cultural traditions, subsistence strategies, or paleoenvironments.

Résumé. Les questionnements abordés dans cet article portent sur l’homogénéité et les relations spatiales entre l’ensemble belloisien et le Laborien. Nous avons pris pour cadre géographique d’étude, la (réputée) marge méridionale du Belloisien : la France centrale. Cet espace est jalonné par plusieurs gisements clés de la transition Pléistocène-Holocène, notamment Muides-sur-Loire, Champ-Chalatras et le Cuze de Sainte-Anastasie. C’est à travers l’étude de l’industrie lithique de ces trois sites que nous questionnons les réseaux de relations à l’extrême fin du Paléolithique. Cet espace est également situé à l’écart des grandes dynamiques de recherche universitaire. Il nous faut donc interroger la notion de frontière à travers l’œil du « préhistorique » ou du « préhistoriens », suivant une analyse pétrotechno-typologique. Les résultats mettent en évidence une fréquentation de gîtes communs et une gestion économique des matériaux parfois semblables entre les trois sites étudiés. Ce réseau de relations complexes met en exergue la porosité entre les appellations préhistoriennes. De plus, l’identification de savoir-faire laboriens, à partir de silicites du sud du Bassin parisien, ainsi que la circulation de grands supports laminaires au sein de sites laborien, confirme cette perméabilité. Ces premières observations alimentent l’hypothèse d’une imbrication d’un sous-système technique belloisien à une tradition plus large : le Laborien.
