Archaeozoological Insights Into Avian Exploitation in the Magdalenian of Belgium at the Caves of Trou du Frontal and Trou des Nutons
Bird exploitation in the European Upper Paleolithic remains poorly understood, particularly in northern regions. This study addresses that gap by presenting the archaeozoological analysis of bird remains from two Magdalenian sites in the Lesse valley (southern Belgium): Trou des Nutons and Trou du Frontal. Excavated in the nineteenth century, these sites are located near Trou de Chaleux—the most significant Magdalenian site in Belgium—and provide…

Neanderthal exploitation of birds in north-western Europe
For a long time, Neanderthals were considered hunters of large mammals, whereas the diversification of the exploited faunal spectrum to include smaller taxa, including birds, was assumed to be specific to anatomically modern humans. In recent decades, archeozoological analyses of faunal remains from layers associated with Middle Paleolithic lithic industries have revealed traces of human manipulation of small taxa, indicating the exploitation of …
By God, I’ve lost my leg
L’archéo-anthropologie a le plus souvent investi l’archéologie des conflits par le biais des sépultures multiples, mais d’autres aspects, en particulier celui de la gestion des blessés à l’issue de batailles, peuvent également être documentés. Les fouilles menées par le collectif Waterloo Uncovered, qui lie recherche scientifique et œuvre sociale à destination de vétérans souffrant de stress post-traumatique, explorent depuis quelques années le c…
Assembling ancestors
Post-mortem manipulation of human bodies, including the commingling of multiple individuals, is attested throughout the past. More rarely, the bones of different individuals are assembled to create a single 'individual' for burial. Rarer still are composite individuals with skeletal elements separated by hundreds or even thousands of years. Here, the authors report an isolated inhumation within a Gallo-Roman-period cremation cemetery at Pommerœul…
Étude des vestiges anthropologiques, fauniques et archéologiques découverts dans la Grotte des Enfants à Freyr, Belgique (Néolithique récent)
En 1964, un groupe de spéléologues amateurs de Villers-la-Ville, appelé "Vampire", fouille une cavité dans les Rochers de Freyr situés dans la Province de Namur (Belgique). Les vestiges exhumés sont actuellement conservés au Musée régional d’Histoire naturelle de Mons. Le matériel archéologique est pauvre et composé principalement d’éclats de silex. Il est difficilement datable sans contexte, ni documentation précise. Notre inventaire recense 557…
Étude des restes humains et animaux des niveaux néolithiques de la grotte Genvier à Matignolles
Un programme de fouille est mené depuis 2017 sur le site de la grotte Genvier située à Viroinval dans la province de Namur en Belgique. Depuis sa découverte en 1984, ce site archéologique livre un matériel archéologique important parmi lequel nous retrouvons de la céramique, du lithique, des restes humains, de faune et des ossements travaillés. Notre étude porte sur l’étude des restes humains et animaux des couches 1, 2 et 3, ayant livré du matér…
A handful of duck radiuses
The early Gravettian site of Maisières-Canal (Belgium) was discovered in 1966, during the widening of the Canal du Centre. Emergency excavation allowed the discovery of an open-air human occupation which yielded abundant archaeological material. A re-examination of the well-preserved faunal collections has expanded the bird assemblage from the 29 bones initially recognized to 78, which have been studied from an archaeozoological point of view. Si…
Tracking the origin of worked elephant ivory of a medieval chess piece from Belgium through analysis of ancient DNA
The morphological identification of raw biological material used to produce archeological artifacts is sometimes difficult or even impossible. In recent years, newly developed biochemical techniques have allowed more reliable identification of exploited animal species, even for otherwise taxonomically undiagnostic fragments, and thus can help pinpoint the geographical origin of the raw material. However, in addition to being costly, these techniq…
Diet, hygiene and health in Roman period northern Gaul
Archaeological structures as factors affecting bird abundance and spectra in archaeological contexts from medieval and modern Belgium
Continuity and change in animal exploitation at the transition from Antiquity to the early medieval period in the Belgian and Dutch loess region
Bird bones from Trou de Chaleux and the human exploitation of birds during the late Magdalenian in Belgium
Have birds ever mattered? An evaluation of the contribution of avian species to the archaeozoological record of Belgium (Iron Age to recent times)
The worked bone industry and intrusive fauna associated with the prehistoric cave burials of Abri des Autours (Belgium)
The excavation of the Abri des Autours, a rock-shelter located in southern Belgium, enabled the discovery of three human burials, two dated to the Early Mesolithic and a third dated to the Middle Neolithic. In addition to the human bones, more than 200 faunal remains were uncovered. A taphonomic analysis was undertaken to determine whether their presence resulted from anthropogenic activities and whether they are linked to the burials. Two assemb…
