Grandeur et décadence de la biche dans l'art paléolithique cantabrique
Wounded Animals and Where to Find Them. The Symbolism of Hunting in Palaeolithic Art
Representations of wounded animals and humans in European Upper Palaeolithic art have traditionally been conceived as figures related to the hunting activities of hunter-gatherer societies. In this paper, we propose an analysis of Franco-Cantabrian figurative representations showing signs of violence between 35,000 and 13,000 cal. bp to qualify the interpretations of hunting and death in Palaeolithic art. To this end, both multivariate statistica…

Answer to “Comment on Uranium-thorium dating method and Palaeolithic rock art” by Sauvet et al. (2015, in press) by Pons-Branchu E. et al
Sobre la pregnancia en la utilización del relieve en las Cuevas de Bédeilhac (Ariège, Francia) y de El Pindal (Asturias, España)
The utilisation of natural reliefs is well known in the rock art of the Upper Palaeolithic, but it is often underestimated. In this note, two unpublished examples coming from the caves of Bédeilhac (Ariège, France) and El Pindal (Asturias, Spain) are described. In both cases, they are reliefs slightly separated from the wall, which have the shape of a natural animal head. The only human intervention consisted in the addition of an engraved eye an…

Una nueva figura roja en la cueva de El Buxu (Cangas de Onís, Asturias)
This brief article has for objet to present the fortuitous discovery of a red animal in El Buxu cave (Asturias). This is the silhouette of a quadruped with only one leg by pair without extremities drawn by a slightly modelling thick line. Due to the bad conservation, the represented species is difficult to identify: it might be a cervid or more probably an aurochs. This preliminary note presents only some photos and a sketch of reading, but a com…
In Search of Lost Time. Dating Methods for Prehistoric Art
The need for an accurate chronological framework is particularly important for the early phases of the Upper Paleolithic, which correspond to the first works of art attributed to Aurignacian groups. Carbon-14 is the only method used for the direct dating of organic pigments, but indirect methods are used to date subsequent deposits on rock art (thermoluminescence, OSL, Uranium/thorium, etc.). All these methods are based on hypotheses and present …
À la recherche du temps perdu. Méthodes de datations en art préhistorique
La nécessité de disposer d’un référentiel chronologique précis est particulièrement importante pour les phases les plus anciennes du Paléolithique supérieur, correspondant aux premières œuvres d’art attribuées aux Aurignaciens. À côté du carbone-14, seule méthode qui permet de dater directement des pigments organiques, des méthodes indirectes datant les dépôts formés postérieurement sur les peintures ont été proposées (thermoluminescence, OSL, Ur…

Uranium-series dating of carbonate formations overlying Paleolithic art
The Uranium-Thorium (U/ Th) series dating method, developed 50 years ago, has proven its usefulness and reliability for the dating of marine (corals) and continental (speleothems) secondary carbonates deposits. Recently, improvements of the analytical techniques (TIMS – Thermo-Ionization Mass Spectrometry, and then MC-ICPMS – Multicollector-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy and laser ablation) allow the dating of very small samples and…
Defining Magdalenian cultural groups in Franco-Cantabria by the formal analysis of portable artworks
The motifs, techniques and stylistic features of Upper Palaeolithic art offer enormous potential for the investigation of social and cultural interactions in south-western France and northern Spain during the later stages of the last ice age. The key regions of Aquitaine, Cantabria and the Pyrenees clearly share an overall family resemblance, but detailed analysis of horse heads on portable objects of bone, antler and stone from Magdalenian conte…
From the Iconography of Rock Art to Its Anthropological Interpretation
The aim of this collective study is to examine the hypothesis that the iconographic structure of rock art traditions will vary as a function of the socio-economic organisation and belief systems of the societies in which they are developed and used. To that end we have assembled, mostly through our own fieldwork, bodies of data on motifs from different continents and different periods of prehistory. These data come from Africa – Brandberg / Daure…
De l’iconographie de l’art rupestre à son interprétation anthropologique
L’objectif de cette étude collective est d’examiner l’hypothèse selon laquelle la structure iconographique des traditions d’art rupestre varie en fonction de l’organisation socio-économique et des systèmes de croyance des sociétés dans lesquelles elles sont développées et furent utilisées. À cette fin, nous avons rassemblé, principalement grâce à nos propres travaux de terrain, des corpus de données sur les motifs de différents continents et de d…
La parenté formelle des grottes de Lascaux et de Gabillou est-elle formellement établie
L’idée, très consensuelle, que les grottes ornées paléolithiques de Lascaux et de Gabillou (Dordogne) sont étroitement apparentées repose sur des arguments thématiques et stylistiques. Pourtant, les données archéologiques en faveur de leur stricte contemporanéité ne sont guère probantes puisque les datations récentes par AMS indiqueraient un écart de 1 600 années calendaires. Pour estimer quantitativement le degré de similarité des deux grottes, …
La thématique féminine au cours du Paléolithique supérieur européen
La découverte des premières représentations féminines remonte à la fin du XIXe siècle (Grimaldi, Italie ; Brassempouy, Landes ; Laugerie-Basse, Dordogne). Elles ont, depuis, été abordées sur un plan tant anthropologique que formel, technique et/ ou symbolique (Piette, 1984 ; Bégouën, 1934 ; Pales, 1972 ; Delporte, 1979 ; Leroi-Gourhan, 1971 ; White, 2006 ; Dupuy, 2007 ; etc.).

The Economic and Social Context of Southern San Rock Art [and Comments and Reply]
This paper suggests a new theoretical framework for understanding southern San rock art. The traditional explanations have been either innatist or functionalist. To escape the tautology of the former and the restrictions of the latter it is suggested that the articulation between the art and the social relations of production be sought. This articulation was expressed in the activities of medicine men, whose symbolic work acted upon the reproduct…

Thinking with Animals in Upper Palaeolithic Rock Art
This article develops a novel method for assessing the cultural context of rock art, and applies it to the rock art of the Upper Palaeolithic of France and Spain. The article relies on a generative approach, assuming that artists have the potential to choose which motifs to select from the repertoire or vocabulary of their artistic system, but that appropriate choices at any place are guided by the location of that site within the culturally-medi…
