Retour chez La bonne-femme (Murs-et-Gélignieux, Ain): Nouvelles données sur l’occupation au tardiglaciaire d’un site majeur du jura méridional
Fouillée entre la fin du XIXe et le début du XXe siècle par J. Tournier et J. Déchelette, puis par un archéologue amateur dans les années 1950, la grotte de la Bonne-Femme (Murs-et-Gélignieux, Ain) a livré un abondant matériel lithique et osseux attribuable à la phase finale du Magdalénien. Un retour sur le terrain en 2017 avait pour ambition de retrouver des zones non excavées dans le but de préciser le contexte archéostratigraphique. Constatant…
High-Precision Radiocarbon Dating Application to Multi-Proxy Organic Materials from Late Foraging to Early Pastoral Sites in Upper Nubia, Sudan
The study area presented in this paper comprises two geographical entities in northern Upper Nubia located between the Second and the Third Cataract of the Nile River: Sai Island and the Amara West district, on the present left bank of the river. Four sites, three at Sai Island and one in the Amara West district, were excavated. They represent three distinct archaeological complexes, named Arkinian, Khartoum Variant, and Abkan, which encompass a …

Towards a Better Understanding of Sub-Saharan Settlement Mounds before AD 1400: The Tells of Sadia on the Seno Plain (Dogon Country, Mali)
In the Niger Bend, many studies have shown the existence of settlement mounds which mainly developed between the 1 st millennium BC and the 15 th century AD. While knowledge about tell-type sites in sub-Saharan Africa has advanced in recent years, many aspects of this topic remain poorly understood. Considering the vast geographic area and time span, there is very little accurate chronostratigraphic information available. This relative lack of lo…
The Fauna from the UNO/BU Excavations at Bieta Giyorgis (Aksum) in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia: Campaigns 1995–2003; Pre-Aksumite, 700–400 BC to Late Aksumite, AD 800–1200
The excavations of the joint mission of the University of Naples ‘L’Orientale’ and the Department of Archaeology at Boston University (USA) on the hill of Bieta Giyorgis at Aksum, Ethiopia, recovered numerous animal bones from various contexts dating from Pre-Aksumite to Late Aksumite levels, around 700 BC to AD 1200. The fauna is dominated by domestic mammals. Among them, cattle (Bos taurus and Bos indicus) are dominant. Age structure and butche…
An assessment of morphological criteria for discriminating sheep and goat mandibles on a large prehistoric archaeological assemblage (Kerma, Sudan)
Stable isotopes and diet at Ancient Kerma, Upper Nubia (Sudan)
La découpe de l'agneau: Un rite funéraire à Kerma (Soudan) vers 2000 av. J.-C
The way lambs are cut up, with pieces used as offerings in graves of the Kerma culture in northern Sudan between the 3rd and the 2nd millennia BC, complies with the definitions of a rite whose rules were precisely codified. The duration of such an activity allows a ritual funeral practice to be defined which was used repeatedly over more than half a century in the kingdom of Kush

Nécropoles et société au premier âge du Fer: Le tumulus de Courtesoult (Haute-Saône)
Une vaste campagne de fouille a permis de sauver de la destruction un tumulus gaulois à Courtesoult (Haute-Saône), Ces recherches ont mis en évidence deux étapes principales de construction et d’utilisation du monument qui comprenait 45 sépultures. Ces dernières ont fait l’objet d’études anthropologique et paléodémographique détaillées. L’analyse typologique du mobilier, composé pour l’essentiel de parures (fibules, bracelets, agrafes de ceinture…

Louis Chaix et Jean Desse. Bone and its measurement. Archaeozoology and archaeometry. Archaeozoology is not only quaternary palaeontology. The main difference lies in the introduction of the permanent and fundamental role of man. Measuring remains however a major tool for the archaezoological research. In this paper, the authors present the main advances made by archaeometric procedures

L'abri sous roche de la Vieille Église, La Balme-de-Thuy (Haute-Savoie), premiers résultats
What we have been discovering for twelve years in the rock shelter of the old church at La Balme de Thuy has enabled us to localize a human occupation that hardly syopped from the epipaleolithic age up to now. This first publication will help to make comparison with other stations of same type located in the north of the Alps, in the Jura area and in Swiss Valais and therefore to understand the process of settlement of our alpine valleys, which, …
