Des ruptures socio-culturelles en traits ? Un réexamen de l’art azilien et épigravettien récent à la fin du Pléistocène
À la fin du Pléistocène, en Europe occidentale, la culture matérielle est marquée par de nombreux changements, en particulier dans l’expression graphique avec le développement d’une iconographie non-figurative sur supports mobiliers et la raréfaction de la figuration réaliste et de l’art pariétal. Ces discontinuités graphiques – vues comme des ruptures – ont servi de marqueurs culturels spatiaux en séparant l’Épigravettien du pourtour méditerrané…
The figurative motifs in the portable art of Grotta Romanelli (southern Italy) within the late Pleistocene art tradition of southwestern Europe
Grotta Romanelli has almost 200 decorated pieces of late Upper Palaeolithic. • An interdisciplinary approach was used to study the portable art collection. • The figurative themes reflect the geographic and chronological variables. • Fish, auroch, wild ass, wild boar, cave lion, and deer are the represented animals. • Among the figurative themes there is a genital representation. Grotta Romanelli (GR) has one of the richest records of Palaeolithi…
Tra assenza e presenza delle figure di cervidi nell'arte rupestre della Valcamonica. Frammenti di una simbologia ricorsiva
The article considers the consistency and distribution of the figures of cervids in Valcamonica rock art, through the systematic analysis of their presence/absence in the Palaeolithic, Chalcolithic, and Iron Age engravings. The attention for these animals unites, since the Palaeolithic, the iconography of geographically distant cultural facies. The primordial and constant presence of this family of mammals in the Alpine and Pre-Alpine territory, …

New Ochre Painted Stones From the Late Proto-Aurignacian of Fumane Cave
Fumane Cave, northern Italy, with its early Upper Palaeolithic deposit, dating between 41.2-35 ky cal BP, is one of the most significant sites for the understanding of the first Anatomically Modern Human groups in Europe. The archaeological excavations led to discover a consistent archaeological record which includes numerous items connected to the symbolic production too: shells, engraved bones and six ochred stones which are considered among th…
A myth debunked. The Porosphaera globularis beads and their relation to the onset of symbolic thinking in prehistory
Because of their inherent symbolic significance, personal ornaments gained a key role in the scientific debate regarding the emergence and evolution of symbolic behaviour; the presumed Acheulean beads discovered in the nineteenth century in northern Europe's sites are considered crucial evidence of this. The fossils of the sponge Porosphaera globularis, because of their morphological characteristics, have been interpreted by some archaeologists a…
New human fossil from the latest Pleistocene levels of Grotta Romanelli (Apulia, southern Italy)
Birds and bovids: New parietal engravings at the Romanelli Cave, Apulia
The Romanelli Cave in south-east Italy is an important reference point for the so-called 'Mediterranean province' of European Upper Palaeolithic art. Yet, the site has only recently been subject to a systematic investigation of its parietal and portable art. Starting in 2016, a project has recorded the cave's interior, discovering new parietal art. Here, the authors report on a selection of panels, featuring animal figures, geometric motifs and o…

Newly discovered rock art sites in Balandar, Mashhad province, north-eastern Iran
The site of Pire Mazar Balandar (or PMB001) is located near the village of Balandar in the Khorasan region of north-eastern Iran (33°09′37.64′′N, 59°29′52′′E; Figure 1). It consists of an outcrop of volcanic rock on a mountain peak (1532m asl) on the north-eastern side of the Binaloud range, above the city of Mashhad (Figure 2
