  • When Humans First Plied the Deep Blue Sea
    NEWS FROM IN AND AROUND THE REGION When humans first plied the deep blue sea In a shallow cave on an island north of Australia, researchers have made a surprising discovery: the 42,000-year-old bones of tuna and sharks that were clearly brought there by human hands. The find, reported online in Science, provides the strongest evidence yet that people were deep-sea fishing so long ago. And those maritime skills may have allowed the inhabitants of this region to colonise lands far and wide. The earliest known boats, found in France and the Neth- erlands, are only 10,000 years old, but archaeologists know they don’t tell the whole story. Wood and other common boat-building materials don’t preserve well in the archaeological record. And the colonisation of Aus- tralia and the nearby islands of Southeast Asia, which began at least 45,000 years ago, required sea crossings of at least 30 kilometres. Yet whether these early migrants put out to sea deliberately in boats or simply drifted with the tides in rafts meant for near-shore exploration has been a matter of fierce debate.1 Indeed, direct evidence for early seafaring skills has been lacking. Although modern humans were exploit- ing near-shore resources2 such as mussels and abalone, by 165,000 years ago, only a few controversial sites suggest that our early ancestors fished deep waters by 45,000 years Archaeologists have found evidence of deep-sea fishing ago. (The earliest sure sites are only about 12,000 years 42,000 years ago at Jerimalai, a cave on the eastern end of East Timor (Images: Susan O’Connor).

    Hafting and raw materials from animals. Guide to the identification of hafting traces on stone tools Veerle ROTS Prehistoric Archaeology Unit Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Geo-Institute Celestijnenlaan 200E (Pb: 02409), B-3001 Leuven, Heverlee (Belgique) [email protected] Rots V. 2008. – Hafting and raw materials from animals. Guide to the identification of hafting traces on stone tools. [DVD-ROM]1 . Anthropozoologica 43 (1): 43-66. ABSTRACT Stone tool hafting has been a widely discussed topic, but its identifica- tion on a prehistoric level has long been hampered. Given the organic nature of hafting arrangements, few remains are generally preserved. An overview is presented of animal materials that can be used for haft- ing stone tools, and examples are provided of preserved hafting arrangements made out of animal raw material. Based on the same principles as those determining the formation of use-wear traces on stone tools, it is argued that hafting traces are formed and can be iden- tified. The variables influencing the formation of hafting traces are KEY WORDS discussed. Specific wear patterns and trace attributes are provided for Stone tools, use-wear, different hafting arrangements that use animal raw material. It is hafting, concluded that the provided referential data allow for the identifi- wear pattern, experiments, cation of hafted stone tools on prehistoric sites and the identification animal raw material. of the hafting arrangement used.

  • UNE NOUVELLE REPRÉSENTATION FÉMININE À La Madeleine (Tursac, Dordogne)
    PALEO – N° 21 – 2009-2010 – Pages 127 à 134 UNE NOUVELLE REPRÉSENTATION FÉMININE à La Madeleine (Tursac, Dordogne) Jean-Pierre DUHARD (1) Résumé : L’auteur présente une figure féminine sculptée sur bois de renne, provenant du Magdalénien IV du grand abri de La Madeleine en Dordogne. Elle vient compléter le petit corpus de figurations humaines de ce site, par ailleurs riche en œuvres d’art. Le corps est représenté en vue frontale et se résume à un tronc et à un pelvis, avec indication des racines crurales et du triangle pubo-génital. Dans sa morphologie, il n’est pas sans rappeler la figure gravée de Lespugue et la figure en ronde bosse de Laugerie-Basse et il illustre la tendance au schématisme de ces figures féminines mobilières magdaléniennes. Mots-clés : Paléolithique, Magdalénien, art mobilier, sculpture, figure féminine, La Madeleine. Key-words: Palaeolithic, Magdalenian, mobiliar art, sculpture, female figure, Madeleine. Abridged english version New female representation in La Madeleine (Tursac, Dordogne). The author presents a segment of cortical reindeer antler, elongated and of semi-circular section, carrying a female carved figure from the Magdalenian IV of the large shelter of Madeleine in Dordogne (France) and stored in the Musée national de préhistoire. Discovered by D. Peyrony during his excavations between 1910 and 1913, it had been described in the monography of E. Capitan and D. Peyrony (1928) as a blade dagger (fig. 1). Without prejudice to the use of this object, it provides an unambiguous but schematic representation of a woman (fig. 2, 3, 4, 5), Her body is represented in frontal view, and comes down to the trunk and pelvis, with indication of the starting point of the thighs and the pubogenital triangle.

These included the reduction of the body by means of mutilation, defleshing, tooth removal, exposure to fire and possibly cannibalism, followed by the secondary burial of the remains according to strict rules. In a later period, pits were filled with disarticulated bones of a single individual without signs of body manipulation, demonstrating that the region was inhabited by dynamic groups in constant transformation over a period of centuries.

  • Microblade Complexes and Traditions in the Interior Northwest, As Seen from Kelly Creek, West-Central Yukon
    Heri tage Branch Government of the Yukon Hud~ Hudlln Series Occasional Papers in Archaeology No.6 MLCROBLADE COMPLEXES AND TRADITIONS IN THE INTERIOR NORTHWEST. AS SEEN FROM THE KELLY CREEK SITE, WEST-CENTRAL YUKON Donald W. Clark and Ruth M. Gotthardt With contributions from Paul Gregory Hare YUKON Tourism Heritage Branch Dave Keenan, Minister 1999 MICROBLADE COMPLEXES AND TRADITIONS IN THE INTERIOR NORTHWEST, AS SEEN FROM KELLY CREEK, WEST-CENTRAL YUKON DONALD W. CLARK Emeritus, Canadian Museum of Civilization RUTH M. GOTTHARDT Yukon Heritage Branch With contributions from PAUL GREGORY HARE Yukon Heritage Branch 1999 AllSTRACT This report describes the microblade industry from the Kelly Creek site, KbTx-2, which is located in the Frenchman La.kes area near Carmacks, Yukon. Testing and excavation was done at KbTx-2 during several seasons from 1981 to 1994. The si te produced one of the larger samples of a microblade industry to come from the Yukon, with more than 20 cores. The microblade cores are mainly classic examples of the Campus type, also referred to as Denali type. Abundant evidence was recovered of the Campus mode of platform rejuvenation through longitudinal detachment of platform tablets. In the broad context of northwestern North American prehistory, Kelly Creek is an American Palaeo-Arctic Or Denali complex, or Late Denali or Northwest Mioroblade tradition assemblage, or possibly even Northern Archaic tradition site. These tradition constructs only partially overlap or duplicate one another. [n an attempt to deal with and resolve what is plainly a systematics problem, we review and discuss these organizational constructs as they are used in the greater region.

  • Communiqué De Presse Juin 2018
    Communiqué de presse Juin 2018 Mémoire de Mammouth 30 Juin – 12 novembre 2018 Musée national de Préhistoire Les Eyzies-de-Tayac (Dordogne) Le mammouth est incontestablement l’animal le plus emblématique des temps préhistoriques, du moins si l’on entend par préhistoire la période couvrant les origines et l’évolution de l’Homme jusqu’à l’avènement de l’écriture. Les quelques millions d’années concernées connaissent une série d’oscillations climatiques auxquelles correspondent plusieurs espèces d’éléphantidés, mammouths et éléphants. Durant le Quaternaire en France, on dénombre au moins quatre espèces : le mammouth méridional (Mammuthus meridionalis), le mammouth des steppes (Mammuthus trogontherii), l’éléphant antique, à défenses droites (Palaeoloxodon antiquus) et le mammouth laineux (Mammuthus primigenius), auquel il faut ajouter un Mammuthus intermedius dont le statut d’espèce à part fait encore débat. Tous ces animaux présentent des caractéristiques physiques similaires, une trompe (probocis en grec), une taille importante, culminant à plus de 4,5 m pour le mammouth des steppes, des membres en pilier qui se terminent sur cinq doigts. Mais c’est leur dentition qui les distingue : outre les défenses (incisives supérieures à croissance continue), il n’y a que des molaires et chaque nouvelle dent provoque l’expulsion de la précédente. Enfin, la morphologie des molaires caractérise les éléphantidés car elles sont constituées de nombreux reliefs transversaux, les lamelles. Durant la deuxième moitié du Quaternaire, à partir de 1 million d’années à peu près, la présence de l’Homme est bien attestée en France et plusieurs questions se posent désormais sur les relations entretenues entre le plus gros mammifère terrestre et nos ancêtres.
