Geochemistry of Stone Tools Reveals the Crossroads of East Polynesia
Geochemical studies of basalt quarries, rock sources and stone adzes and their biproducts found at distant habitation sites have increasingly allowed archaeologists to track the direction of island colonisation and post‐settlement interaction and proffer explanations for the development of social complexity in Polynesia. The Tuamotu Archipelago is unrivalled for studying inter‐archipelago transfer of stone tools in East Polynesia, as the islands …

Mainland-coastal interactions in East Borneo: Inter-site comparison and Bayesian chronological models of two Late Pleistocene–Holocene sequences (Liang Abu and Kimanis rock shelters)
In recent decades, East Borneo has become an increasingly important archaeological “hot-spot” in Island Southeast Asia as a result of early dates for rock art ca. 38,000 BP and the greater number of excavated sites that support a much longer period of human occupation. However, the chronology of settlement and adaptation to environmental changes during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition is still poorly known. Here we report on an excavation at t…
Lettre ouverte à Monsieur Guiart in memoriam
L'auteur, étudiant en maîtrise avec Jean Guiart à partir de 1973, a été affecté au musée de l'Homme et au musée des Arts africains et océaniens (maao) jusqu'en 1979. Il est resté en relations amicales et professionnelles avec Jean Guiart tout au long de ses nombreux séjours en Polynésie autant que dans l'aire indo-pacifique jusqu'à ces dernières années. Cette lettre ouverte partage des observations et impressions recueillies au fil de ces cinq dé…
Island Southeast Asia: Rock Art
Borneo as a half empty pot: Pottery assemblage from Liang Abu, East Kalimantan
New insights on the late Pleistocene–Holocene lithic industry in East Kalimantan (Borneo): The contribution of three rock shelter sites in the karstic area of the Mangkalihat peninsula
New ceramic data from East Kalimantan: Pottery chronology and the cord-marked and red-slipped sherds of Liang Abu's layer 2
Archaeological research in the Liang Abu rock shelter (East Kalimantan) led to the discovery and analysis of a pottery assemblage, including red-slipped, cord-marked and incised pottery sherds, radiocarbon dated to 1672±21 BP and 1524±22 BP. In order to discuss our findings we undertook a reappraisal of the pottery material and associated radiocarbon datations from archaeological sites on Borneo Island. This provided us with an appropriate framew…
Prehistoric occupation at the rock shelter of Liang Abu, eastern Borneo
Recent archaeological discoveries in East Kalimantan, Indonesia
Since 1992, thanks to the exceptional interest generated by caving teams crossing Kalimantan from west to east in 1988, a large quantity of archaeological discoveries has been revealed. A Franco-Indonesian team has surveyed caves and rockshelters in East Kalimantan to shed some light on an archaeologically unknown territory. Altogether, more than 100 caves have been visited and checked, of which over 30 contain undoubtable rock paintings. These s…
Rock Art, Burials, and Habitations: Caves in East Kalimantan
This paper presents a brief summary of a program of study of the archaeology of caves and rock shelters in East Kalimantan, especially the results of recent fieldwork along the Marang River. The caves and rock shelters cluster into three groups in terms of their elevations in the karstic landscape and their archaeological remains. The highest and most inaccessible caves are the locations of rock paintings. Caves at middle locations have produced …
Cross dating (Th/U- 14 C) of calcite covering prehistoric paintings in Borneo
We present the first application of cross-dating (Th/U measured by thermo-ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and 14 C measured by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS)) of calcite covering prehistoric paintings. Th/U age estimates of cave drapery range from 9800 to 27,300 yr B.P. while conventional 14 C age is estimated between 9900 and 7610 yr B.P. depending on the dead carbon correction. The age discrepancy is attributed to a disturbance of Th/U…
De la théorie aux pratiques culturales sur les atolls
L’observation des fosses de culture sur les atolls des Tuamotu, puis les recherches sur leur mode de fonctionnement avaient conduit l’auteur à rencontrer Jacques Barrau et à en retrouver des analogies archéologiques. Des investigations et expérimentations ethno-archéologiques vont montrer que de la Micronésie aux Tuamotu de l’Est, ces techniques avaient été élaborées de la même manière, même si leur persistance n’a pas été la même. Les réflexions…

Les fosses de culture dans les Tuamotu. Travaux en cours et perspectives
L'Archipel des Tuamotu fait l'objet depuis ces dernières années d'importantes recherches ethno-archéologiques. Face à un environnement et des sols spécifiques, les insulaires ont développé dans le temps et l'espace, des techniques de production vivrières particulières, par creusement de fosses parfois gigantesques et création continue d'humus artificiel. Cet article fait le point sur des techniques et, combinant enquête ethno-archéologique et ana…
