For the past decade, the reevaluation of the Laborian, a chronocultural ensemble dated around 12,500- 11,000 cal BP and stratigraphically located between the Late Azilian and the Mesolithic Sauveterrian, has made it possible to revitalize the research of the Final Paleolithic, during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. Several works have thus been...
Recently recognized as part of Final Lateglacial tool-kits, trapezoids remain enigmatic tools. The analytical part of this paper focuses on macro and micro-wear traces observed on Late Laborian trapezoids (GS1-Holocene transition, Atlantic facade) and their meaning from a utilitarian point of view. The consistency in the nature and organization of...
Abstract:
Initially, in Northern Europe, research about the Final Palaeolithic-Early Mesolithic transition has mainly focused on the changes observed in the hunting weaponry, then on those in the blade production. All have emphasised the major typological and technological shift, often explained by the adaptation of hunting strategies and mobility...
During the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, the European archaeological records can be divided into two broad entities – the Epigravettian in the northern Mediterranean Basin and the industries characterized by the return of a well-developed blade technology in northwestern Europe. This large Western European techno-complex comprises several cultur...
A microwear analysis, using a combined low and high power approach, was performed on the lithic assemblage of the Lateglacial site of Ruien “Rosalinde”. Despite the excellent conservation of the artefacts and the exhaustive nature of the analysis, only ten artefacts displayed usewear traces. Although these represent a wide range of activities (incl...
Le programme collectif de recherche, « Réseau de lithothèques en Nouvelle-Aquitaine » existe depuis 3 ans. Il joue un rôle important dans la consolidation d’une structure coopérative de recherche à l’échelle régionale et nationale.
Le présent rapport expose un état de l’art des activités menées à bien en 2018 pour participer de façon efficace à la...
The recent discovery of the site of the Rocher de l’Impératrice at Plougastel-Daoulas in Finistère provides new data on the question of the early Azilian period, and on the first evidence of Late Glacial settlement in the west of France. This article aims to present the preliminary results obtained after a first survey in 2013, followed by a first...
Le campement de la Fosse (Villiers-Charlemagne, Mayenne) : un éclairage précieux sur la vie des derniers chasseurs-collecteurs paléolithiques
Recent Laborian of the Peyrazet cave-rock shelter (Creysse, Lot, France). New data for the end of Lateglacial in Quercy.
Discovered in 1990, Peyrazet cave-rock shelter (Creysse, Lot) lies in the Haut-Quercy region at the limits of the Martel limestone plateau, several hundred meters from the current Dordogne River valley. Excavations begun in 2008...
Après une simplification significative des méthodes de débitage durant l'Azilien, rompant progressivement avec les normes magdaléniennes, le retour au cours du Dryas récent à des productions lamino-lamellaires élaborées marque un tournant abrupt dans la tradition lithique. Bien qu'un certain flou pèse sur la chronologie des événements, les recherch...
Table-ronde en hommage à Guy Célérier : « Préhistoire du Périgord : les sociétés de la transition du Paléolithique final au début du Mésolithique »
This paper gives an overview of stone tool management processes identified from the techno-functional analysis of two Northwestern France sites attributed to the end of the Lateglacial. Investigating recycling, secondary use and maintenance processes on these two sites which are very different regarding both site status and raw material availabilit...

Blades with flat retouch in the Creswellian: a proxy to further characterize Lateglacial population dynamics of the British peninsula
This program aims to understand the first time of the Azilian techno-complex in Western France. It specifically search to describe technical, socio-economic and artistic changes and to characterize the timing of these phenomenon. The excavation of the Rocher de l'Impératrice rock shelter is the main source of data of this program.
