Abstracts of Reports and Posters Amira Adaileh The Magdalenian site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld The open air site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld is located in Sachsen-Anhalt, Eastern Germany. It was discov- ered in the mid 1950´s in the immediate vicinity of the famous Magdalenian site of Saaleck. Since that time, archaeologists collected over 2000 lithic artifacts during systematical surveys. The technological and typological analyses of the lithic artifacts confirmed the assignment of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld to a late Magdalenian. Furthermore, the investigation of the surface collections brought forward information about the character of this camp site, the duration of its occupation and the pattern of raw material procure- ment. The fact that Bad Kösen-Lengefeld is located in a region with more than 100 Magdalenian sites fostered a comparison of the lithic inventory with other Magdalenian assemblages. Thus, allowing to spec- ify the position of the Lengefeld collection within the chorological context of the Magdalenian in Eastern Germany. Jehanne Affolter, Ludovic Mevel Raw material circulation in northern french alps and Jura during lateglacial interstadial : method, new data and paleohistoric implication Since fifteen years the study of the characterization and origin of flint resources used by Magdalenian and Azilian groups in northern French Alps and Jura have received significant research work. Diverse and well distributed spatially, some of these resources were used and disseminated throughout the late Upper Paleolithic. Which changes do we observe during the Magdalenian then for the Azilian? The results of petrographic analysis and techno-economic analysis to several archaeological sites allow us to assess dia- chronic changes in economic behavior of these people and discuss the significance of these results. -

The Interpretation of Upper Palaeolithic Parietal
UNIVERSITY OF MALTA THE INTERPRETATION OF UPPER PALAEOLITHIC PARIETAL PAINTINGS BY: SARAH BUSUTTIL APRIL 2002 DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF CLASSICS AND ARCHAEOLOGY, FACULTY OF ARTS IN PART FULFILLMENT OF A B.A. (Hons.) DEGREE IN ARCHAEOLOGY I PREFACE. Aii is one of the factors of human life that fall under the category of symbolism. In my study I will focus on the paintings of Upper Palaeolithic Western Europe that are found in the Franco-Cantabrian caves. My interest in this study was triggered off in my search for the first tangible and intensely manifested fonn of art that the Homo Sapiens Sapiens has produced. In fact, the Franco-Cantabrian caves attest to the grandest form of symbolism of our human ancestors. It is through this same symbolism that man has managed to pass on some of his intrinsic beliefs in a simplified pictorial way. Yet, it is these 'simplified' messages that have proved so difficult for scholars to read what our primitive ancestors wanted to say. This has all resulted from the fact that we are studying a stage from prehistory. Since the time of the first discoveries of these paintings, controversies have been rampant as to how we could interpret such a heritage. In order to try and get a good stronghold on the wide picture, my aim was to follow the development of the theories that have been proposed up to now, together with a concise resume of the paintings themselves. The biggest question ever that continues to elude scholars is the meaning of these widely acclaimed painted canvases. -
The Cave of Doxa Reflections on Artistic Research and on Cave Art
The Cave of Doxa Reflections on Artistic Research and on Cave Art Mats Rosengren Introduction In order to situate this article, as well as the position from which I write, in the contemporary academic and epistemic field, a few words on my epistemological stance is needed.1 In calling my approach to the current epistemological situation doxological, I am not evoking a theological turn in the theory of science. Rather the opposite, actually. I want to emphasise and recognise the fact that all knowledge is created by humans, and thus is human knowledge and never epistemic (in the Platonic and, perhaps, theological sense). This is not a new insight, nor am I the first to focus this anthropic conditioning on all that we claim to know. But it has been downplayed in the history of Western thought, neglected as something both evident and unimportant in the scientific quest for ever more knowledge. The term doxology has an established usage both in theology and in liturgy, denoting different forms of praise of God. My usage of the term, however, is pre-theological, in the sense that it reconnects with ancient philosophy and the debate between philosophers and sophists about the nature of knowledge. Siding with rhetoricians and sophists, I claim that all knowledge is doxic, that is, anchored in, and born not only by language and different symbolic forms, 1. In Art Monitor #1 2007 I but also, and perhaps most importantly, by practices, bodies, rites, and rituals. presented the outlines of my In fact, what has been called epistemic knowledge is, and has always been, doxological stance. -

Keeping Fire: the Cognitive Implications of Controlled Fire Use by Middle Pleistocene Humans
Keeping Fire: The Cognitive Implications of Controlled Fire Use by Middle Pleistocene Humans Terrence Matthew Twomey Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Doctor of Philosophy April 2011 School of Social and Political Sciences Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Supervisory Committee Dr Edward Douglas Lewis Dr Neil Thomason Prof Andrew Dawson Prof Antonio Sagona i Abstract The thesis investigates the cognitive implications of controlled fire use by Middle Pleistocene humans. My argument is that we can infer features of human cognition from the behaviours required to control fire. This argument is grounded in the following two premises. First, some behaviours imply the operation of distinctively human cognitive abilities. For example, inhibiting prepotent responses, delaying gratification and anticipatory planning provide good evidence for executive functions, such as episodic memory, an extended working memory capacity and detached representations. Similarly, future directed cooperation, resolving social dilemmas and providing a public good imply features of human social cognition, such as theory of mind, collective intentionality and intersubjective communication. Second, fire use involved a range of cognitively demanding behaviours associated with accessing, maintaining and using fire that I argue meet the above behavioural criteria for human cognitive abilities. The thesis aims to show why this is the case. My working hypothesis is that fire related tasks stand as a sound behavioural basis for making inferences about the cognitive abilities of fire using humans. The thesis is warranted because we now have compelling evidence that humans have been using fire for at least 800 thousand years. The cognitive abilities of humans from this early time are not well understood and in dispute. -

Again, in a subject such as Prehistory, so closely connected with various branches of written History, Geology, Ethnology, and Later Archaeology, it is very difficult to know when to be ultra-elementary, and when to assume a slight general knowledge of one of these allied subjects. Thus, in the chapters which deal with purely geological problems, a student of Geology wishing to learn something of Prehistory will find some of the most elementary geological ideas ex- plained at length, as all are not geologists. -

First Settlers in France
The First Settlers in France Old World Archaeologist - Winter 1983 by George W. Rohrer Who were the oldest Frenchman? Articles in our journal have described aspects of the late Old Stone Age, with illustrations from the art in the caves of Font-de-Gaume and Rouffignac. The story of the Neanderthals, the immediate predecessor of Cro-Magnon, has also been outlined. It may now be appropriate to give some respectful attention to the really aged – the first inhabitants of the Gallic hexagon. It is the contemporary of Java Man and Peking Man who will be considered. People who lived between 200,000 and 500,000 years Before the Present (B.P.) share the designation Homo erectus. No prehistorian challenges Africa's claim to being the home of mans ancestors who lived millions of years ago. Mary Leakey's 'Zinj', Donald Johanson's 'Lucy', their fellow Australopithecines, and their predecessors were native to areas that are now countries in East Africa. Arago Man In a corner of France bounded by the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean lies the village of Tautavel. This small community, thirty kilometers northwest of Perpignan, is indicated only on detailed regional maps. A huge cavern nearby, the Caune de l’Arago, provided shelter for the inhabitants during a cold phase 350,000 years ago. In 1963 explorers found evidence of this early life and reported it to the distinguished prehistorian, Monsieur Henry de Lumley, who was put in charge. Between 1967 and 1971 excavation disclosed the bones of panther, wolf, rhinoceros, bison and an archaic horse. Still more exciting were human remains – teeth, two jawbones, hipbone, and a foot bone.
