The Contribution of the Anthropology of Techniques to the Study of the Western Linearbandkeramik
Saint-Pierre-d’Autils « Le Plaquis » (Eure)
Fouillé en 2010 par une équipe de l’Inrap, le site du Néolithique ancien de Saint-Pierre-d’Autils « Le Plaquis », situé en bord de Seine aux environs de Vernon (Eure), est devenu une référence pour comprendre la colonisation des terres normandes par les agriculteurs-éleveurs de tradition rubanée. Venu du Bassin parisien, un petit groupe s’est installé sur des terres encore vierges de toute occupation. Trois maisons de taille moyenne ont été const…
Saint-Pierre-d’Autils “Le Plaquis” (Eure)
The early Neolithic site of Saint-Pierre-d’Autils “Le Plaquis,” located on the banks of the Seine near Vernon (Eure), was excavated in 2010 by an Inrap team, and is now a reference site for understanding the colonisation of Normandy by Linear Pottery Culture tradition farmers and herders. A small group from the Paris Basin settled on land that was still unoccupied at that time. Three medium-sized houses were built on the banks of the river, formi…

La statue amazonienne, du Brésil à Paris. Épilogue pour une comédie archéologique
Le musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac conserve une grande statue de pierre rapportée d’Amazonie par le comte de Castelnau en 1847. À peine débarque-t-elle en France qu’elle fait l’objet d’un scandale au Brésil. Certains dénoncent les inexactitudes du récit de l’explorateur, d’autres vont jusqu’à publier une pièce de théâtre comique suggérant que l’objet ne serait pas un artefact archéologique amérindien mais un faux sculpté par un maçon brésil…
Analyse à haute résolution des pratiques alimentaires des premiers fermiers de la Vallée de l'Aisne (Bassin parisien, 5100-4900 BC)
L’étude des sites rubanés de la vallée de l’Aisne (Bassin parisien, France, 5100-4900 BC) depuis près de 40 ans a permis de mieux comprendre l’organisation des premières sociétés villageoises agricoles. Les premiers fermiers, installés dans les plus grandes maisons semblent plus impliqués dans les pratiques agricoles, tandis que ceux des petites maisons montrent une contribution légèrement plus forte dans les activités liées à la chasse. Ces résu…

The beginning of the Beuronian with segments at Balagny-sur-Thérain (Oise, France)
The rescue excavation of the Balagny-sur-Thérain habitat site (Oise, France) was conducted in 2015. Located within the alluvial plain of the Thérain, two sectors were excavated, covering a total area of 441 m2. Despite a compacted stratigraphic sequence, the layer of remains, composed of lithic pieces and some bone fragments, is remarkably well-preserved with little post-depositional disruption. Radiocarbon measurements, as well as the other anal…

A Revolution in Food Preparation? Grinding and Pounding Plants in the First Farming Communities of Western Europe and the Mediterranean Region
The spread of the Neolithic way of life to Western Europe is characterized by two parallel strands of colonization that spread through the continental (LBK) and Mediterranean (Impressa- Cardial) regions during the sixth millennium BC. Together with the introduction of novel agricultural systems, new food preparation practices were developed. Combined interdisciplinary (technology, anthropology, archeobotany) and archaeometrical approaches (usewea…
New data and perspectives on the early stages of the Neolithic in the Middle Kura River Valley (South Caucasus). The 2017–2019 excavations at Kiçik Tepe, Western Azerbaijan
Economy and status of Neolithic to Early Bronze age sites in the Southern Caucasus during the 6th‐3rd mill. BCE
In the Southern Caucasus, the evolution of the Neolithic to Bronze age (6th-3rd millenia BCE) economies is often investigated through the prism of adaptation to constrasted landscapes and environments (arid plain, high moutains, subtropical western coasts) and strategies of natural resource exploitation. This overview of the main technological and functional characteristics of ground stone tools from about 20 sites in the Kura Valley (Georgia, Az…

Mineral Resources, Procurement Strategies, and Territories in the Linear Pottery Culture in the Aisne Valley (Paris Basin, France)
This article presents the mineral resource procurement territories of Early Neolithic settlements (LBK or Rubané ) in the Aisne valley. Our study focuses on data from 15 LBK sites belonging to the final LBK of central Europe; C14 dates for the sites fall between 5100 and 4900 cal BC. The bulk of pottery from these sites seems to have been produced using local raw materials that can be found over a large part of the valley; only a dozen recorded v…
Social Rules and Household Interactions Within the LBK
Within Linearbandkeramik (LBK) studies, several models of social structure and organisation have been debated since the 1960s, influenced by several major anthropological theories that even today guide the debates. We discuss here the notion of social interactions in LBK contexts by focusing on the primary form of LBK social unit: the household. Assuming that the solutions found by the LBK communities to navigate their ambivalent position regardi…
The Mechanisms of Neolithisation of Western Europe
Up until now, the neolithisation of Western Europe during the sixth millennium BCE has mainly been approached through the characterisation of its diffusion vectors (cultural vs demic diffusion) and the emergence of technoeconomic innovations (rhythms, scenarios, and transmission). Traditionally, two primary routes of agricultural diffusion are distinguished: one extending along the Danube river corridor to the Atlantic coast ( Linearbandkeramik )…
Developing a Reference Collection for Starch Grain Analysis in Early Neolithic Western Temperate Europe
While we know that cereals played an important role in the diet of Linearbandkeramik (LBK) and Blicquy/Villeneuve-Saint-Germain (BVSG) populations in the Paris Basin, many questions remain to be answered as to the real contribution of other plants. To assess this topic, the recovery of other lines of data beyond macrobotanicals is crucial: starch grains have the potential to reveal additional information regarding past plant use. However, in West…
Des outils de métallurgistes dans le Bronze ancien de Bretagne ? Révéler le rôle du macro-outillage lithique en associant analyses tracéologiques et de spectroscopie de fluorescence X
The question of the emergence and development of copper and bronze metallurgies is a major issue in addressing the cultural and economic dynamics of the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age in Western Europe. This phenomenon is particularly relevant along the Atlantic coast, where the Armorican peninsula is central for better understanding how the control of these new productions contributed to the emergence of new elites and their chiefs, notably…
The Amazonian statue. A biography of a famous and polemic artifact from Brazil
A large stone statue was brought from the Amazon to France in 1848 by the explorer Francis de Castelnau. It depicts a being, apparently human, squatting, with his hands on his chest. Now exhibited at the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, this piece created a strong controversy since it was made public. In the mid-19th century, several Brazilian intellectuals strongly criticized the arrogant attitude of the Frenchman who had 'looted' their he…

From Neolithic to Chalcolithic in the Southern Caucasus
In Transcaucasia, the emergence of the first neolithic cultures can be dated to the middle of the 6th millennium BC. The Shulaveri-Shomu culture, which occupies the middle course of the Kura valley, is among the best known Neolithic culture of Transcaucasia. As for the subsistence economy, the presence of a wide range of grinding and abrading tools is mentioned, but no real study of their technological evolution and functional implications has ye…
Indicators of Household Pottery Production
Despite their reputation, little work has been carried out on Chupícuaro ceramics, and the organization of pottery production and its role in the economy of these populations are still poorly known. The excavations of the Chupícuaro project did not identify any pottery production areas, but uncovered fired clay coils and plaques and hard stone artifacts in the site of Cuizillo de Don Fidel Salinas (TR. 6). The techno-morphological study of these …

Les premières occupations du Néolithique ancien dans le Nord-Ouest de la France
La découverte récente de plusieurs gisements datés du Néolithique ancien dans l’extrême Nord de la France s’est faite dans une région où cette période n’était pas attestée. Les dix sites présentés ici, sont tous datés de l’horizon chrono-culturel Blicquy/Villeneuve-Saint-Germain (BVSG) et sont implantés dans un secteur géographique compris entre les vallées de l’Oise à l’est, de la Somme au sud et des rivages de la Manche/Mer du Nord au nord-oues…
Technology and function of grooved abraders in the early Neolithic of northwestern Europe
Found sporadically in late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic contexts, grooved abraders are among the most common tools found in Linear Pottery and Villeneuve-Saint-Germain settlements in north-western Europe (5,100-4,700 BCE). This paper presents an overview of the technical and functional characteristics of these tools in early Neolithic domestic contexts. Despite different blank morphologies and sizes, these tools tend to be relatively small in size…

Malgré un nombre de vases restreint, il constitue pour toute la partie nord-ouest du Ba…
De l'utilisation des outils de mouture, broyage et polissage au Néolithique en Bassin parisien
In the Paris Basin, neolithic grinding and polishing tools are characterized by the almost exclusive use of one raw material, sandstone, and by complex management involving multi-purpose tool use as well as raw material recycling. A functional approach was therefore necessary to complete the initial typo-technological study, given the highly fragmentary nature of the artefacts and difficulties in observing working surfaces. In order to examine th…

Le sommet de l’iceberg ? Colonisation pionnière et néolithisation de la France méditerranéenne
Recent research into the European Neolithisation process and the development of farming communities reveals a diverse and complex cultural landscape. In the Western Mediterranean, it is now well known that the first agro-pastoral economy appears around 6000 BCE in south-eastern Italy and that part of these sites, often grouped under the generic term “Impressed Ware”, represent the departure point for the diffusion of the Neolithic economy. In thi…

Quelle signification archéologique pour les dépôts de meules néolithiques dans la vallée de l'Aisne
Thanks to their frequency in the Aisne valley the Neolithic sites brought to light three deposits of saddle querns : that of " Le Vieux Tordoir" at Berry-au-Bac, that of "Les Fontinettes" at Cuiry-lès-Chaudardes and that of "Le Dessus des Groins" at Vasseny (Aisne). The meaning of these deposits wavers between dumping sites and symbolic acts: their various shapes (the nature and lay-out of the tools, the pit type) point to different intentions. W…

The Functional and Symbolic Value of Grinding Stone Tools from the Late Bandkeramik of North-Western Europe
The arrival of late LBK populations in north-western Europe (Hainaut, Hesbaye and the Paris Basin) was accompanied by a change in the functional and symbolic practices related to grinding stone tools. Contrary to former LBK practices, grinding tools were by this time no longer objects of long-distance exchange or circulation. Instead, they were made quasi-systematically on local sandstones of pretty high quality or on local granites on the wester…
