Redécouverte d'une faune pléistocène dans les remplissages karstiques de Tam Hang au Laos : premiers résultats.

2008

12 pages; The discovery of a Pleistocene fauna in karstic fills at TamHang in Laos: preliminary results. TamHang, located in northeastern Laos, in the Hua Pan province, is a reference site not only for its numerous archaeological and human remains, but also for its two faunal assemblages, whose composition suggests different dating in the Pleistocene. Discovered in 1934 by Jacques Fromaget, a new excavation of the site has been undertaken in 2003. During this campaign, at Tam Hang south, 575 isolated teeth of mammals were extracted from a deep layer of calcareous breccia. This assemblage corresponds to that one described by Arambourg and Fromaget [C. Arambourg, J. Fromaget, Le gisement quat…

Composantes culturelles et Premières productions céramiques du Bronze ancien dans le sud-est de la France

2012

The collective research project "Cultural components of the first pottery productions of the Early Bronze Age in Southeast France" derives from renewal of documentation on the Early Bronze Age in the southeast Rhodanian region and new approaches to the Bell Beaker period, particularly in the southern part of Southeast France. In 1998, the Riva del Garda conference constituted a high point in Bell Beaker research at a European scale, of which the consequences and questions motivated the collective project for an overview of the transition from the end of the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age in a large southeastern quarter of France. In these regions, issues relating to the future of Bell Be…

Assessment of the Geochemical Potential in a Complex Tectonic Environment of South-East Sicily: New Insights From Hydrochemical Data

2019

We analyzed a large dataset (143 water sampling sites, 22 variables) of chemical parameters in local groundwaters from the south-east sector of Sicily, namely the Hyblean plateau, in order to set an original evaluation of its geothermal potential using applied geochemistry. The area was affected by volcanism until about 1.4 Ma. Today, though no active volcanism occurs, it is site of surface gas manifestations of focused degassing to which a mantle source has been attributed. We identified and thence selected the most promising sites (water springs and wells) based both on their main geochemical characteristics and on their calculated equilibrium temperature (resulting in the range between 5…

Phénomène, culture et tradition : statuts et r̂oles du Campaniforme au IIIe millénaire dans le Sud-Est de la France

1998

Abstract The "Bell Beaker " complex should not be globally perceived, because it seems to include several different entities, as shown by its variations in space and time. A regional approach, in south-eastern France, outlines the existence of a first " Bell Beaker Phenomenon " and its spread in Late Neolithic societies. This relatively marginal phenomenon quickly becomes an actual independent "Bell Beaker Culture ", with different geographical fades. These may have been in contact with surviving local cultures. In the Early Bronze Age, a "Bell Beaker Tradition " integrates some new elements brought in from outside, and seems to extend the Bell Beaker culture. The role of this " Bell Beaker…

Les Campaniformes dans le sud-est de la France

2004

The term "Bell Beaker", in the strict sense, designates a ceramic beaker form with an S-shaped profile that gives it the shape of an inverted bell. This type of drinking-vessel is characterized by both its very particular pattern of decoration and by the generally skilled execution of that decoration. By extension, the decoration characteristic of these beakers bas allowed the expansion of the category "Bell-Beaker" to include other pottery forms and even other types of decoration showing the same tradition, vvhich probably represent an evolution or reproduction of the original Bell Beaker pattern, The recognition of these objects and their definition as a class date to the nineteenth centu…

La fin du Néolithique dans le sud-est de la France. Concepts techniques, culturels et chronologiques de 1954 à 2004

2006

The mediterranean France final Neolithic, between the end of Middle Neolithic Chasséen (3700-3500 Cal BC) and the end of the transitional period to the early Bronze Age, with the barbed Wire groups (1900-1800 Cal BC), is a complex period marked by the definition of almost about fifteen cultural groups and many of geographical facies and chronological phases. The chronological and technical concepts used are not less complex and varied according to researchers (Recent Neolithic or late Middle Neolithic or Final Neolithic 1, Final Neolithic and Copper Age or only Final Neolithic, and Copper Age-early Bronze Age...). If the Rhone constituted only seldom a real border during the Neolithic, it i…

La fin des temps néolithiques

2004

The chapter presents the state of knowledge on the end of the Neolithic era in the department of Vaucluse. It evokes the known sites and their distribution, the chronology of the period ranging between the end of the Middle Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age and the archaeological cultures present. Several paragraphs sets of themes take stock of research concerning ceramics, tools, metal, ornament, habitat, economy, burials and art.

Commensality in the Late Bronze Age : places and practices : the contribution of recent discoveries in the south-east of the Paris Basin

2021

This doctoral dissertation uses data from the extensive preventive archaeological research carried out in the Upper Seine Valley in the south-east of the Paris Basin for at least five decades an area where Bronze Age and Early Iron Age sites are numerous and generally well preserved. The 2005 excavation by Inrap of the Villiers-sur-Seine site "le Gros Buisson", an "unusual" settlement dating to the final phase of the Late Bronze Age (9th century B.C.) is the main focus of this study, having shed new light on domestic contexts of this pivotal period. This fortified aristocratic dwelling is characterised by an organised plan, abundant artefacts, as well as the unusual consumption of young pig…
