Historical management of equine resources in France from the Iron Age to the Modern Period: A Cross Disciplinary Approach
Donkeys, horses and their mule hybrids have had a far-reaching impact on human history since they have been domesticated several millennia ago. These animals have indeed provided many economic, social and cultural resources that fueled both agricultural and economic development, war making and cultural exchange. Gaining a full understanding of the respective contributions of the different equine species to past societies remains, however, difficu…
The origins and spread of domestic horses from the Western Eurasian steppes
Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare 1 . However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse lineage associated with archaeological evidence of bridling, milking and corralling 2–4 at Botai, Central Asia around 3500 bc 3 . Other longstanding candidate regions for horse domestication, such as Iberia 5 and Anatolia 6 , have also recently been challenged. Thus, the genetic,…
The Abri Casserole (Dordogne, France): Reassessing the 14 C Chronology of a Key Upper Paleolithic Sequence in Southwestern France
Discovered at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Abri Casserole (Dordogne, France) was the subject of salvage excavations in the early nineties. The fieldwork revealed a sequence of 13 archaeological levels that document human occupations from the Gravettian to the Magdalenian, including very rare and poorly known assemblages (e.g. Early Badegoulian, Protosolutrean) that afford a particular importance to this sequence. Results of a previ…
L’attribution chronoculturelle des «objets arciformes» du Paléolithique supérieur. Apports de la datation directe de l’ébauche du Petit Cloup Barrat (Cabrerets, Lot, France) et discussion autour de l’…
Le Petit Cloup Barrat cave (Cabrerets, Lot, France) is located on the hill of Pech Merle, 800 metres from the famous Palaeolithic art cave. It opens onto the edge of a collapsed doline of 500 m2. Since 2003, the different excavations (by Castel and Chauvière, then by Castel) have revealed an important Upper Palaeolithic stratigraphy, with several archaeological assemblages. More than ten millennia have been recorded discontinuously in the various…
Environmental and cultural dynamics in Western and Central-Europe during the Upper Pleistocene
Millennial-scale change in archaeofaunas and their implications for Mousterian lithic variability in southwest France
La gestion des quartz diaclasés de l'Albigeois cristallin (Tarn) au Paléolithique moyen
Le quartz filonien entre pour 98 % dans la composition des industries du Paléolithique moyen livrées par les argiles à graviers de l’Albigeois cristallin. La forte densité des réseaux de diaclases qui affectent ce matériau en a de manière significative influencé les stratégies de débitage. Les dominantes directionnelles, parallèles ou croisées des plans diaclasiques, à l’origine d’un débit du minéral en plaquettes ou en blocs lenticulaires biseau…
Un nouveau gisement du Paléolithique supérieur récent: Le Petit Cloup Barrat (Cabrerets, Lot, France)
Located on the same hillside as Pech Merle, 800 metres from the entrance of that famous decorated cave, the site of Petit Cloup Barrat opens onto the edge of a small doline. Though partially excavated at the beginning of the 20th century, this site has never been published. A test pit in 2003 was followed by excavations at the entrance of the cave in 2004 and 2005. The stratigraphic sequence, whose base is still unknown, yielded abundant lithic a…
