Article
he designation, under the name of Epigravettian, of all industries in Central and Eastern Europe from the last glacial maximum and up to the end of isotopic stage 2, masks the variety of industries and prevents an understanding of the adaptations of hunter-gatherer societies to climate variations. - For Eastern Europe (Dnieper, Boug and Don basins)...
Article
The upper Palaeolithic settlement of Gontsy (near Lubny, Poltava region, Ukraine) is owned to the Mezinian culture, which occupied the middle and upper Dnieper basin in Eastern Europe during a short period around 15 000-14 000 BP. The Mezinian is characterized by semi-sedentary settlements organized around mammoth bone dwellings (6 huts in Gontsy),...
Chapter
Le chapitre ii présente une synthèse des progrès théoriques, méthodologiques et techniques en archéologie préhistorique et protohistorique depuis 1976. Ces progrès concernent la prospection archéologique (prospection géophysique, échantillonnage, images satellites), les fouilles de terrain (avec la généralisation de l’usage du décapage de surface),...
Article
At the last glacial maximum, the Gravettian human groups moved to southern European Peninsulas: Iberian, Italian, Balkan and the gulfs: Tyrrhenian, Adriatic, Aegean and around the Black Sea (a lake at this time). There, they differentiated: Solutrean in Western Europe, Epigravettian in Central Europe and in Eastern Europe. Human groups, constrained...
Article
Mammoth bone beds associated with Palaeolithic settlements were reported in the Pavlovian, the Eastern Gravettian, and the Mezinian. Several points of method are posed:. - How to identify and differentiate without ambiguity the remains of mammoth bone beds from the remains of dwelling structures built in part from the bones of these bone beds?- How...

The present paper is aimed to reveal the useful role that the archaeologist, evading from the ivory tower of his erudition of the societies of the past, may play for the change of the societies in the future. From two examples chosen in the XIX degrees century, we are focalizing on the very deep impact the archaeology may have in the society at a r...
Article
European transition between MP and EUP industries is generally explained by the replacement of Neanderthals by Modern humans between 45,000 BP and 35,000 BP. Recent results have shown such a transition could be more complex than expected: after a phase of stability during the pleniglacial period of 75,000–60,000 BP with MP industries, a phase of la...

This article concerns, first, the development of an approach to data analysis of sedimentological, micro- and macrofaunal, and artifactual data obtained from analysis of geoarchaeological sediment core samples and, second, an algorithmic ordering of resulting sediment groups to arrive at a definitive stratigraphic sequence. Correspondence analysis...

The Boccard cave is located in the Créancey municipality of the Côte-d’Or. A clear stratigraphy has been defined with a Mousterian layer in which three human permanent teeth were discovered: a lateral upper left incisor, an upper second right premolar and a lower second right molar. The metrical and morphological, descriptive and comparative studie...

The paper introduces the concept of webmapping in the archaeological and historical sciences. The interest in offering an online mapping service is developed in terms of collaborative working, technical support, e-learning, mapping functions, and hardware and software architecture. The integration of the webmapping functions in the more general cas...

For several years now the concept of virtual museum has had an important role among the means being used for the diffusion of cultural information, as it offers an important extension to the traditional museum. In this paper we briefly discuss the concepts of the applications of virtual museums, by studying the transformation of a real museum into...

Preliminary results of the new excavations realised during the past 10 years at the Gontsy site (Ukraine) are given here, placed in the context of the famous late Upper Palaeolithic mammoth bone dwelling settlements of Eastern Europe. The knowledge of the area of the mammoth bone dwelling settlements is today limited to the middle and upper Dnepr b...

The results of several sea- and ice-cores and pollen sequences of peat bogs, for the last 40.000 years, permits today to give evidence of palaeoclimatic oscillations of this period. A method of palaeoenvironment reconstitution, based on transfert functions computation, issued from pollen diagrams, is proposed. The method is building a palaeotempera...

The state of the art concerning intrasite spatial analysis is given here, with the potentialities and the limits of the methods. In the first part, the interpretability of the spatial structures is questioned, focusing on the influence of cleaning and deserting of sites, and also the existence of post-depositional process, which can more or less ca...

It is discussed if the technological evolution of computer science in the nineties has resolved the methodological problems of the Archaeology, known since the sixties. It is concluded that the two first levels of cognitive methodology (recording and structuring) are resolved but the third and last level (reconstitution) is always the subject of so...

The improvement of the excavation's methods and the results of the quaternary studies allows to accumulate many stratified magdalenian levels, which are well replaced in an accurate chronological frame.

Depuis quelques années, l’amélioration des méthodes de fouilles et des études quaternaires a permis d’accumuler un nombre important de données de niveaux magdaléniens stratifiés, bien replacés dans un cadre chronostratigraphique et paléoclimatique précis. Cela justifie, à nos yeux, une tentative de reconsidérer le problème de la structuration du Ma...

RESUME Les apports des techniques quantitatives et de l'informatique en archéologie sont discutés ici, non pas en termes de résultats de nouvelles applications, mais en termes d'influences sur l'évolution des méthodes et des théories en Archéologie. Il y est particulièrement mis en évidence le fait que la contribution des technologies modernes ne p...
