Irish Stone Age
The Irish Stone Age
Originally published in 1942, this book was based upon archaeological fieldwork carried out by the Harvard Archaeological Expedition to Ireland from 1932 to 1936. The aim of the Expedition 'was to embody in the field three of the techniques of modern anthropology - physical anthropology, social anthropology and archaeology - directed towards research on the same problem: the origin and development of the races and cultures of Ireland.' Numerous i…
Inventaire analytique des sites aurignaciens et périgordiens de Dordogne
L’étude de l’Aurignacien et du Périgordien, entreprise par H. L. Movius à l’occasion des fouilles de l’abri Pataud, impliquait une connaissance approfondie des travaux antérieurs et des recherches en cours. C’est dans ce but qu’il réalisa une recherche documentaire objective, détaillée, précise et rigoureuse sur le terrain et dans différentes collections publiques et privées. Il analysa de la même façon une littérature abondante et bien souvent m…
Stone Tools, Toolkits, and Human Behavior in Prehistory [and Comments and Reply]
Stone artefacts are usually privileged witnesses, and often the sole preserved witnesses, of prehistoric man and his activities. The study of artefacts is ordinarily restricted to typology, i.e., description, classification, and comparison of these artefacts clustered into assemblages with a view to defining industries and, hence, prehistoric cultures. This approach is somewhat limited, as it registers differences or resemblances between the asse…
Toward a New Outline of the Soviet Central Asian Paleolithic [and Comments and Reply]
The ideas about the distribution of the earliest sites in Soviet Central Asia and the character of Paleolithic industries which have been formed by Western archaeologist through the works of Movius, Klein, and Chard are now in need of revision because of the appearance of new material. The increasing possibility of worldwide synchronization of geological and climatological events permits the comparison of the subdivisions of the Soviet Central As…

The Analysis of Certain Major Classes of Upper Palaeolithic Tools
The attributes to be defined in this paper have been designed to characterize the main areas of variation of those scrapers which have been termed ‘Aurignacian’ (de Sonneville-Bordes, 1960, 29), owing to their numerical pre-eminence in Aurignacian assemblages. These attributes were worked out primarily on the Aurignacian assemblages (Levels 6–14) from the Abri Pataud, Les Eyzies (Dordogne), although to test the general applicability of the method…

The Châtelperronian in French Archaeology
The Grottes d'Arcy, situated on the main road (RN 6) between Auxerre and Avallon, are the closest big caves to Paris (FIG. I). Between the 16th and the 19th centuries the most distinguished visitors, from Louis XI11 to M. de Buffon (1740), marvelled at the immense galleries adorned with stalactites at the Grande Grotte. The caves still attract many tourists. All nine of the Arcy caves have a generally southerly exposure, and they have been cut in…

Transition From Mousterian to Perigordian
At the terminal period of the Mousterian, the Upper Palaeolithic artifacts became more abundant in a number of beds. Some deposits present a tool assemblage dominated by small, odd, worn flakes, more or less denticulated either intentionally, through wear, or because of geological phenomenon. ost horizons, however, are marked by polymorphism and are evidence of a trend towards the longer blade. At the Audi rock-shelter, we find that the heavy Mou…

The Lascaux Cave
The Lascaux Cave, one of the most important single sites of upper Palaeolithic art ever discovered, is located near Montignac (Dordogne), 16 miles up the Vézère River from the famous town of Les Eyzies. It was found in September 1940 by two French schoolboys out rabbit hunting. Called the “Versailles of Prehistoric Man,” Lascaux ranks among the world's oldest and most remarkable art galleries. It has been completely sealed off from the outside wo…
