Understanding hunting technology is pivotal in the study of adaptive and innovative forces that influenced the evolution of prehistoric societies. The manufacture, design and use of hunting weapons involve technical processes such as those of tool miniaturization, blank standardization and projection modes, but also influence broader demographic st...
Proposer une synthèse sur la préhistoire d’un archipel et de ses assemblages lithiques n’est pas chose facile, d’une part à cause de l’immensité de l’espace concerné mesurant 2 millions de km2, d’autre part du fait que la notion de Paléolithique y est difficilement applicable et notamment celles de « Paléolithique supérieur » ou d’Epipaléolithique-...

This study analyzes these assemblages in their regional techno-complex taking into consideration the environment...

New Insights on the Late Pleistocene-Holocene Lithic Industries from East Kalimantan (Borneo)
Le référentiel MP-ALP est issu d’un travail de prospection initié dans les années 1990. Plusieurs campagnes de terrain entre 1991 et 1997 dirigées par D. Binder et des prospections régulières menées par P. Simon dans la même période ont permis un inventaire des ressources siliceuses de la région Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur (France). Dans le cadre du...
Island Southeast Asia has been the location of important archaeological discoveries regarding human evolution and recent human population history. Since 2003, a French-Indonesian archaeological research project has been developed in the karstic area of East Kalimantan (Indonesia), which has notably led to the discovery of caves with unique rock art...
Liang Abu rock shelter is located in a karstic region of Eastern Borneo (East Kalimantan, Indonesia), a poorly studied region despite its value in understanding human prehistory in Island Southeast Asia. Our multidisciplinary project has involved an archaeological survey of this area, and recently the excavation of the Liang Abu rock shelter (2009...
The Tassili-n-Ajjer plateau is famous for its tens of thousands of pictographs discovered in the mid-XXth century.
