Holocene History of the Lower Seine Estuary and the Commerce Valley Tributary (Normandy, France)
The sediment infill deposits of the Lower Commerce Valley in the Seine estuary, located near the Roman city of Juliobona (now Lillebonne, Normandy), provide valuable data on environmental changes during the Holocene, including sea‐level changes, sediment supply and anthropogenic influences. A 10‐m deep sediment core was collected from the valley deposits, and a multidisciplinary geoarchaeological approach was applied, combining geophysical survey…
Low-cost automatic geochemical scanning of sediment cores using pXRF, XZ-axial translation stages, and the PyCoreX software
Current environmental changes are increasing the demand for analytical tools and procedures that are affordable, reliable, and time-efficient for use in various academic research projects as well as civil engineering applications. In this context, sediments are a major source of subsurface environmental data, and the accelerating growth of sediment core libraries has motivated the use of fast, low-cost, and quasi-continuous geochemical investigat…
Assessing the Vulnerability of an Inuit Archaeological Site in a Changing Periglacial Environment
With northern regions warming at twice the global rate, assessing the state of archaeological sites in these areas is critically important. In this study, we used a multimethod geophysical approach (ERT, GPR, and EMI) to characterize the current geocryological conditions of an Inuit archaeological site on South Aulatsivik Island (Labrador, Canada). Analysis of the geophysical surveys revealed a thin (~1 m) discontinuous layer of residual permafro…
Géoarchéologie et territoire, une approche culturelle des relations sociétés/paysages
Le territoire constitue un champ de réflexion et de recherche de la géoarchéologie qui s’est élaboré en archéologie préventive, depuis une trentaine d’années. Sa problématique, centrée sur les relations sociétés-sols, est abordée à l’échelle du site archéologique et de son environnement immédiat. La démarche, multi-échelles et transdisciplinaire, propose une lecture anthropologique du paysage, fondée sur deux de ses outils principaux, la géomorph…

Sourcing of chalkstone used in medieval buildings in the Eastern Duchy of Normandy (10th−14th centuries) through geological and geochemistry analyses
The provenance of medieval building stones links historic constructions with their quarrying areas, thereby revealing medieval trade routes and the spatial organization of past societies. In northern France, the Duchy of Normandy played a significant role in the medieval history of Europe, situated at the centre of the disputes between the English and French kingdoms. However, the historical documentation from this period is scarce, particularly …
New Visual Analytics Tool and Spatial Statistics to Explore Archeological Data
The archeological record of La Roche-à-Pierrot (France) is central to debates on the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition. To this day, it is the only site to have provided a relatively complete Neandertal skeleton associated with an industry identified as transitional, the Châtelperronian, which had been attributed until then to Homo sapiens . The site was the subject of several excavation campaigns led by F. Lévêque in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1…
The Potential of Micromammals for the Stratigraphy and the Timing of Human Occupations at La Roche-à-Pierrot (Saint-Césaire, France)
As micromammals are highly sensitive to changes in their habitat, variations in species representation are often used to reconstruct local environmental conditions. However, taphonomic aspects of micromammals are often overlooked, despite the fact that they can provide important information for our understanding of archaeological sites. La Roche-à-Pierrot, Saint-Césaire, is a major archaeological site for our understanding of the Middle-to-Upper …
The Palaeolithic site of Roc-en-Pail (Chalonnes-sur-Loire, Maine-et-Loire)
The paleolithic site at Roc-en-Pail was discovered by chance between 1870 and 1871, in the context of quarrying activities when Prehistoric Science was at its youth. Nevertheless the lithic industries were immediate linked to the Moustier type with reference to the pioneer work of É. Lartet and H. Christy. The site was only latter largely excavated by Dr Michel Gruet, in the 1940s and 1950s then in 1969. Excavations archives from Dr Gruet togethe…
Le site paléolithique de Roc-en-Pail (Chalonnes-sur-Loire, Maine-et-Loire)
Le site paléolithique de Roc-en-Pail a été découvert fortuitement entre 1870 et 1871, en marge de l’exploitation d’une carrière alors que la science préhistorique n’en est encore qu’à ses débuts. Néanmoins, dès sa découverte, les industries lithiques sont rapportées au type du Moustier, en référence aux travaux pionniers d’É. Lartet et H. Christy. Il faudra attendre les recherches du Dr Michel Gruet dans les années 1940-1950 puis en 1969, pour qu…
A geochemical investigation of an Early Inuit semi-subterranean winter dwelling in a periglacial context
Perturbation assessment in archaeological sites as part of the taphonomic study
In the context of archaeological taphonomy, perturbation assessment aims at characterizing the processes that have affected a set of archaeological remains (lithic pieces, faunal remains, plant material) after their abandonment, and at analysing the consequences of these processes on archaeological interpretations. The processes range from sedimentary to bio-pedological factors and weathering. The main questions that perturbation assessment attem…
Paaliup Qarmangit 1 site geoarchaeology
A multidisciplinary geoarchaeological investigation was performed at Paaliup Qarmangit 1 site (JjGj‐14), located in a valley affected by periglacial processes in Nunavik, Canada. A taphonomic approach was carried out to document site formation processes on the site of a single‐family semi‐subterranean winter Thule‐Inuit house. Off‐site geomorphological and stratigraphical analyses enabled us to reconstruct the sedimentary environment in the valle…

Las ocupaciones humanas finipleistocenas han sido confirmadas con nuevos hallazgos y fechados
Evidence supporting an intentional Neandertal burial at La Chapelle-aux-Saints
Significance For several decades, scholars have questioned the existence of burial in Western Europe prior to the arrival of Anatomically Modern Humans. Therefore, an approach combining a global field recovery and the reexamination of the previously discovered Neandertal remains has been undertaken in the site of La Chapelle-aux-Saints (France), where the hypothesis of a Neandertal burial was raised for the first time. This project has concluded …

Bone Weathering in a Periglacial Environment
Bone weathering analysis of the Palaeoeskimo Tayara site (Qikirtaq Island, Nunavik, Canada) documents site taphonomy in the Arctic periglacial environment. Like a majority of sites in the eastern Canadian Arctic, Tayara has a faunal assemblage dominated by marine mammals (seal, walrus, and beluga whale) and some terrestrial mammals (caribou, fox, and bear). Statistical and spatial analyses of five weathering stages reveal that large mammal bone p…
Paleoeskimo site taphonomy
A detailed taphonomic study was undertaken at the Tayara site in order to determine the impact of natural processes such as surface water flow on spatial patterning and site formation. The study focused on Paleoeskimo level II, which contains many lithics and significant faunal remains. Level II integrity was assessed through spatial analysis and by examining the size distribution of lithic artifacts and bone orientation. Experimental knapping ai…

Palaeoeskimo site burial by solifluction
The geoarchaeological study of the Palaeoeskimo Tayara site on Qikirtaq Island (Nunavik) has led to a better understanding of archaeological site formation in the arctic periglacial environment. The surrounding geomorphology (extra‐site) is characterized by fine‐grained, low plastic and leached postglacial glaciomarine sediments that have been reworked by sheet‐like solifluction. This process buried the northern part of the Tayara site with mean …
