Evolution and Uses of Rock Art Sites
Years of sheared kangaroo and wallaby calcanea from Waribruk (New Guinea II Cave, GunaiKurnai Country, SE Australia)
Phytoliths from Cloggs Cave, GunaiKurnai country (southeastern Australia) reveal the gathering of whole grasses for burning practices inside the cave
Archaeobotanical evidence paired with GunaiKurnai cultural knowledge has established that plants were central to activities of the Old Ancestors in Cloggs Cave, GunaiKurnai Country. Here, we undertake a study of phytoliths from the stratified archaeological deposits to provide a complimentary line of evidence of people–plant relations across 25,000 years of cave engagement. Alongside the phytoliths of the archaeological sediments, we analyse the …
Mobile Landscapes and Their Enduring Places
This Element presents emerging concepts and analytical tools in landscape archaeology. In three major sections bookended by an Introduction and Conclusion, the Element discusses current and emerging ideas and methods by which to explore how people in the past engaged with each other and their physical settings across the landscape, creating their lived environments in the process. The Element reviews the scales and temporalities that inform the s…
Archaeological evidence of an ethnographically documented Australian Aboriginal ritual dated to the last ice age
In societies without writing, ethnographically known rituals have rarely been tracked back archaeologically more than a few hundred years. At the invitation of GunaiKurnai Aboriginal Elders, we undertook archaeological excavations at Cloggs Cave in the foothills of the Australian Alps. In GunaiKurnai Country, caves were not used as residential places during the early colonial period (mid-nineteenth century CE), but as secluded retreats for the pe…
The mulla-mullung ’s Bulk
Recent archaeological mapping of, and excavations at, Cloggs Cave, in GunaiKurnai Aboriginal Country in Southeastern Australia, have revealed a rich underground landscape of stone arrangements, broken stalactites, and what appear to be crushed crystalline minerals and ritual ash layers. Here we examine the stone artifacts to determine how they can shed further light on how the cave was used, and what a GunaiKurnai perspective can tell us about ho…

Superpositions and superimpositions in rock art studies
Patterns of superposition in rock art are often used to systematically construct style sequences. However, once on the rock, images can affect subsequent engagements with the art, the rock surface, the site, and its surrounding landscape, and this recursiveness can be studied through the superimpositions (significantly overlaid markings) on a rock face. This is an opportunity for archaeologists to investigate the culture of engagement not just at…
Paradigm shifts and ontological turns at Cloggs Cave, GunaiKurnai Country, Australia
In recent years, a number of authors have theorized an “ontological turn” that is reorienting research in the human and social sciences. In this setting, we have witnessed an increasing number of anthropological and archaeological works seeking to recognize ontological difference among a variety of human groups, from Indigenous societies to Paleolithic hunter-gatherers. While ontological approaches have been restricted to anatomically modern huma…
Contribution and limits of portable X-ray fluorescence for studying Palaeolithic rock art
Geomorphology of the upper Kalguty Basin, Ukok Plateau, Russian Altai mountains
As part of an archaeological research project, we investigate the geomorphology of the cold and arid study area by combining field mapping with use of orthoimages and DEM. To the north of a broad trunk valley floor, gentle slopes continuously vegetated culminate around 3000 m, while to the south steep slopes reaching to 3500 m are deeply incised and covered mainly by regolith. The basin has been intensively glaciated as evidenced by the till cove…

Postcards from the outside
The archaeomorphological study of Nawarla Gabarnmang in Australia's Northern Territory challenges us to think in new ways about how Aboriginal people interacted with their surroundings; here a site of everyday engagement was a place of construction that retains material traces of past engagements. At Nawarla Garbarnmang, we show through archaeomorphological research how the changing physical layout of a site can be cross-examined against the impa…
Determining the age of paintings at JSARN–113/23, Jawoyn Country, central-western Arnhem Land plateau
Western Arnhem Land, in the Top End of Australia's Northern Territory, has a rich archaeological landscape, ethnographic record and body of rock art that displays an astonishing array of imagery on shelter walls and ceilings.While the archaeology goes back to the earliest period of Aboriginal occupation of the continent, the rock art represents some of the richest, most diverse and visually most impressive regional assemblages anywhere in the wor…

A high-precision chronological model for the decorated Upper Paleolithic cave of Chauvet-Pont d’Arc, Ardèche, France
Significance We compiled a set of more than 250 radiocarbon dates related to the rock art, human activities, and bone remains in the Chauvet-Pont d'Arc Cave (Ardèche, France) and derive a modeled absolute chronology of the human and cave bear occupations of this site, presented here in calendar years. It provides an insightful framework for the successive events that occurred in the cave during the Paleolithic period.
How old are Australia's pictographs? A review of rock art dating
The social construction of caves and rockshelters
Caves and rockshelters are a key component of the archaeological record but are often regarded as natural places conveniently exploited by human communities. Archaeomorphological study shows however that they are not inert spaces but have frequently been modified by human action, sometimes in ways that imply a strong symbolic significance. In this paper the concept of 'aménagement', the re-shaping of a material space or of elements within it, is …
The Origins of Ground-edge Axes
The grinding of stone to make sharp cutting edges did not evolve with the emergence of biologically modern humans in Africa, but late in the Pleistocene at the completion or nearcompletion of the Out-of-Africa 2 migration. Here we discuss the earliest securely-dated fragment of ground-edge axe from Australia, dated at 35,500 cal. bp, an age slightly older or comparable to the earliest ages for edge-grinding from the Pacific Ocean's western seaboa…

Un karst de haute-montagne
Peu connus, les Plateaux du Bilanktaung Central nous offrent deux magnifiques exemples de karsts tropicaux : « un karst à buttes » et « un karst de plateau » criblé de dépressions. Le cavernement de ces plateaux est important, et se présente, soit sous forme de cavités richement concrétionnées, soit de réseaux très actifs qui doivent leur origine aux pertes de cours d'eau exogènes
Contribution à l'étude des circulations aquifères dans le géosystème Coulmes-Choranche; Présentation du site expérimental de la Grotte de Coufin
Afin de quantifier l'ablation karstique et ses variations spatio-temporelles dans un géosystème montagnard forestier : Coulmes- Choranche (Vercors), plusieurs expérimentations sont en cours pour définir les caractères hydrodynamiques des cours d'eau souterrains et de l'aquifère fissurai. Cette démarche repose sur une bonne connaissance biogéographique, litho-structural et spéléologique ainsi que sur des appareils de mesure (pluviographe — enregis…

Years of extreme precipitation patterns over the Mediterranean French Alps and possible forcing mechanisms
Investigation of Lake Allos sediments revealed ~ 160 graded layers, interpreted as flood deposits, over the last 1400 yr. Comparisons with records of historic floods support the interpretation of flood deposits and suggest that most recorded flood events are the result of intense meso-scale precipitation events. As there is no evidence for any major changes in erosion processes in the catchment since the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), we interpret t…
Frequency and intensity of high-altitude floods over the last 3.5 ka in northwestern French Alps (Lake Anterne)
In central Western Europe, several studies have shown that colder Holocene periods, such as the Little Ice Age, also correspond to wet periods. However, in mountain areas which are highly sensitive to erosion processes and where precipitation events can be localized, past evolution of hydrological activity might be more complicated. To assess these past hydrological changes, a paleolimnological approach was applied on a 13.4-m-long sediment core …
