The Trans-Evol project: Mapping Evolution in the South-West of the Turkana Basin (Kenya)
L’apparition d’Homo sapiens il y a plus de 233 ka en Afrique (Vidal et al., 2022), est le fruit d’un processus évolutif long et complexe qui a donné naissance à de nombreuses espèces d’hominines. Le bassin du Turkana, dans le rift Est-Africain, contient une multitude de preuves archéologiques et paléontologiques illustrant ce processus. Celles-ci sont inégalement réparties sur le territoire dont de nombreuses zones restent encore largement inexpl…
New modern and Pleistocene fossil micromammal assemblages from Swartkrans, South Africa: Paleobiodiversity, taphonomic, and environmental context
The oldest deposit at the hominin-bearing cave of Swartkrans, South Africa, is the Lower Bank of Member 1, dated to ca. 2.2 million years ago. Excavations of this unit have produced a diverse and extensive mammalian fossil record, including Paranthropus robustus and early Homo fossils, along with numerous Oldowan stone tools. The present study focuses on the taxonomic analysis of the micromammalian fossil assemblage obtained from recent excavatio…
Opportunities to synchronise and date archaeological and climate records in Northwest Africa using volcanic ash (tephra) layers
Archaeological sites in Northwest Africa are rich in human fossils and artefacts providing proxies for behavioural and evolutionary studies. However, these records are difficult to underpin on a precise chronology, which can prevent robust assessments of the drivers of cultural/behavioural transitions. Past investigations have revealed that numerous volcanic ash (tephra) layers are interbedded within the Palaeolithic sequences and likely originat…
Qaleh Kurd Cave (Qazvin, Iran): Oldest Evidence of Middle Pleistocene Hominin Occupations and a Human Deciduous Tooth in the Iranian Central Plateau
Medium and large-sized Glires (Rodents and Lagomorphs) from the early Pleistocene Cooper's D locality in the Cradle of Humankind, Gauteng, South Africa
First asserted record of the house mouse in Morocco: Application of a multidisciplinary approach to the site of Rirha (5th − 1st c. BC)
Towards a better knowledge of the molar morphology and ecology of extant and fossil grass rats (Muridae: (Arvicanthis Lesson, 1842)
African rodents of the genus Arvicanthis are presently restricted to sub-Saharan savannas and to the Nile Valley. In contrast, their distribution during the Quaternary included most of northern Africa, leading to the emergence of local fossil species. To date, there have been no comprehensive studies of Arvicanthis populations in northern Africa, neither to clarify their taxonomy nor their paleoecology. The present study aims to explore both morp…

Revue bibliographique des travaux des dix dernières années en taxonomie et taphonomie des petits vertébrés en Afrique du Nord-Ouest
L’Afrique du Nord a livré de nombreux sites quaternaires riches en microvertébrés. Quelques travaux ont permis l’établissement de référentiels néo- et paléotaphonomiques pour cette région, mais la dernière synthèse remonte à une dizaine d’années. Cette dernière montrait la pauvreté des référentiels et les lacunes géographiques et taxonomiques en matière de proies et de prédateurs analysés. Nous avons pour objectif de mettre à jour cette synthèse …
Émilie Campmas (1983-2019): The Woman and the Sea. Une approche archéozoologique intégrative de l’exploitation humaine des milieux côtiers dans la zone circumméditerranéenne durant la Préhistoire
Parcours universitaire et professionnel Émilie Campmas a eu un parcours de formation très riche, ponctué de plusieurs événements marquants. Dès le début de son cursus universitaire à Bordeaux, en 2004, elle effectue un stage encadré par Véronique Laroulandie (PACEA) dans le laboratoire de Préhistoire (alors Institut de Préhistoire et de Géologie du Quaternaire – IPGQ) de l’Université de Bordeaux 1, afin de découvrir l’archéologie préhistorique.

Kanyimangin: The Early to Middle Pleistocene Transition in the south-west of the Turkana Basin
The Early to Middle Pleistocene Transition (EMPT) is characterised by major environmental changes and evolutionary innovations within the genus Homo but the scarcity of the African EMPT fossil and archaeological records obscures its palaeoecological context. Here, we present archaeological and faunal evidence from a newly excavated West-Turkana EMPT site-Kanyimangin
Palaeoecological reconstructions of the Middle to Late Pleistocene occupations in the Southern Caucasus using rodent assemblages
Located at the crossroads between Africa, Europe and Asia, the Southern Caucasus is a prime location to study occupations byH. heidelbergensis,H. neanderthalensisand anatomically modern humans. Azokh Cave is an important site for the understanding of human evolution in its archaeological, palaeontological, environmental and ecological context. The main objective of this work is to use rodents to infer the climatic and environmental conditions tha…
The Trans-Evol project: Filling gaps in hominin evolution at the Early to Middle Pleistocene Transition
The Trans-Evol project (Early to Middle Pleistocene Transition: Evolution and diversity of African hominin fossil populations) is a collaboration between the CNRS, the National Museums of Kenya and the University of Cambridge. The project is opening new archaeological excavations in West-Turkana (Kenya) to document the behavioural, cognitive and morphological diversity of hominin populations during the Early to Middle Pleistocene Transition (EMPT…
Neotaphonomic study of two Tyto alba assemblages from Botswana: Palaeoecological implications
Multi-Taxa Neo-Taphonomic Analysis of Bone Remains from Barn Owl Pellets and Cross-Validation of Observations: A Case Study from Dominica (Lesser Antilles)
Paleo- and neo-taphonomic analyses of bone assemblages rarely consider all the occurring taxa in a single study and works concerning birds of prey as accumulators of microvertebrate bone remains mostly focus on small mammals such as rodents and soricomorphs. However, raptors often hunt and consume a large range of taxa, including vertebrates such as small mammals, fishes, amphibians, squamates and birds. Bone remains of all these taxonomic groups…
Implications of modern Barn owls pellets analysis for archaeological studies in the Middle East
African carnivores as taphonomic agents: Contribution of modern coprogenic sample analysis to their identification
In archaeological sites, large, medium, and small vertebrate remains may have been accumulated by humans, by nonhuman predators, or both. It is now assumed that neotaphonomic referentials are essential to contribute to characterising the accumulators of fossil assemblages. However, such reference data are lacking for many areas (such as North Africa) and for several predators. In addition, most of the existing studies focus on skeleton representa…

Localisé en Alsace (Bas-Rhin), il est à l’heure actuelle un des seuls témoins fiables attribués au Paléolithique moyen dans la région, permettant ainsi de documenter une zone assez méconnue pour la Préhistoire ancienne.

Les environnements holocènes du littoral atlantique du Maroc. Exemple des petits et grands vertébrés en contexte archéologique provenant de la grotte d'El Harhoura 2, région de Témara
Le Maroc Nord-Atlantique est une zone géographique d’intérêt majeur pour la connaissance de la Préhistoire de l’Afrique du Nord. C’est dans la région de Témara, au sud de Rabat, qu’ont été découverts les plus anciens restes attribuables à l’espèce Homo sapiens au Maroc dans un contexte atérien. C’est également dans cette région que se situe la grotte d’El Harhoura 2, qui a livré un riche matériel archéologique (industries lithiques et osseuses, c…

Taphonomic Analysis of Amphibian and Squamate Remains from El Harhoura 2 (Rabat-Témara, Morocco): Contributions to Palaeoecological and Archaeological Interpretations
Amphibian and reptile remains found in archaeological contexts are still poorly studied, especially in North Africa. This article presents the first taphonomic analysis realised on amphibian and squamate remains coming from a North-African quaternary site. The bones were not transported/sorted by water; they were quickly buried and no significant perturbation occurred within deposits. The main origin of the amphibian and squamate assemblages is p…
