La SFPT, Irstea et l'IGN organisent un colloque visant à réunir les acteurs de la recherche et de l'industrie, afin de faire le point sur ces techniques, les évolutions attendues ou souhaitées, les difficultés et les contraintes. Ce colloque veut rassembler tous les acteurs francophones de l’utilisation scientifique et opérationnelle de ces nouveaux moyens aéroportés d'observation pour l'extraction d'informations spatialisées.

    Kosti: jedna od najranijih sekundarnih sirovina Selena Vitezović DOI: 10.17234/9789531757232-03 Uvod Recikliranje i ponovna uporaba raznih materijala i predmeta javljaju se kroz cijelu ljudsku po- vijest, još od samih početaka (Amick 2015). Međutim, odnos prema praksi recikliranja dosta se mijenjao tijekom vremena i u različitim kulturama. U novije vrijeme recikliranje i ponovna uporaba prošli su kroz nagle i drastične promjene, prvo s industrijskom revolucijom, naglim povećanjem proizvodnje i stvaranjem „potrošačkog društva”, a potom, posljednjih desetljeća, s rastućom svijesti o neophodnosti zaštite okoliša i održivosti resursa (Cooper 2008; Amick - 2015: 4-5). - Recikliranje i ponovna uporaba često se vezuju za nedostatak i štednju (vremena, truda, ma- terijala itd.), osobito iz današnje perspektive, gdje se prikupljanjem sekundarnih sirovina naj češće bave najsiromašniji slojevi društva ili ekonomski vrlo siromašne zemlje. I arheološki do kumentirani primjeri ponovne uporabe često se interpretiraju kroz prizmu današnjeg pogleda,- odnosno kao odraz štednje i ekonomske isplativosti. Razlozi i motivi za recikliranje u različitim kulturama, međutim, nisu bili samo ekonomski, već i kulturni, odražavajući kulturni odnos pre ma određenim predmetima i sirovinama od kojih su nastali (cf. Drackner 2005; Amick 2015). - Arheološki primjeri reciklaže i ponovne uporabe u različitim društvima brojni su i raznovrsni.- Najuočljiviji su primjeri koji se odnose na sekundarno korištenje građevinskoget al. materijala (Bar ker 2010; 2015), kao i u slučajevima

  • In the Upper Palaeolithic Rock Art of Europe 159 16: 159-166, 2004
    Historia naturalis bulgarica, The cave hyaena in the Upper Palaeolithic rock art of Europe 159 16: 159-166, 2004 The presence of cave hyaena (Crocuta crocuta spelaea) in the Upper Palaeolithic rock art of Europe Nikolai SPASSOV, Todor STOYTCHEV SPASSOV N., STOYTCHEV T. 2004. The presence of cave hyaena (Crocuta crocuta spelaea) in the Upper Palaeolithic rock art of Europe. – Historia naturalis bulgarica, 16: 159-166. Abstract. The very few images of cave hyaena, from the Upper Palaeolithic rock art of Europe are analyzed in the paper. The images show a very close exterior appearance (coloration pattern) with the African spotted hyaena. The causes for the extremely low number of preserved cave hyaena pictograms as well as the lack of “fantastic” zoomorphic images in the Upper Palaeolithic rock art of Europe are discussed. Key words: Rock art, Paleozoology, Europe, Pleistocene, Cave hyaena, Crocuta crocuta spelaea Introduction After looking through thousands of large mammal depictions in the rock art of Europe’s Upper Palaeolithic published during the last century, our interest was raised by the inexplicably low number of Cave Hyaena zoomorphic pictograms. It is in discrepancy with the numerous fossil finds and the large area (KAHLKE, 1999) of Late Pleistocene Crocuta crocuta spelaea. During the Late Pleistocene this species inhabited all of Europe except the northern part of the continent. Many caves (so called hyaena caves) are known for the large number of cave hyaena remains: Kent’s Cavern, Tornewton Cave (England), Teufelslucken (Austria), Lindental Hyaena Cave (Germany), Sveduv Stul (Czech Republic), etc. (WERDELIN & SOLOUNIAS, 1991; KAHLKE, 1999). France also has numerous remains and localities from this time (BALLESIO, 1979; CLOT, 1980).

Dans ce but, l’axe de recherche « Ressources animales : acquisition, transformation et utilisation » de l’équipe Ethnologie préhistorique (UMR 7041, ArScAn) a développé, à partir des années 2010-2011, une nouvelle dynamique de recherche sur la fracturation. Les travaux menés ont bénéficié des recherches antérieures, mais en s’inscrivant plus spécifiquement dans une optique très technique. Cet article est ainsi orienté vers l’exploitation technique de l’os et du bois de cervidé et la production de supports potentiels pour des outils dits « peu élaborés ».

  • The Oldest Known Rock Art in the World
    The Oldest Known Rock Art in the World • XXXIX/2–3 • pp. 89–97 • 2001 ROBERT G. BEDNARIK THE OLDEST KNOWN ROCK ART IN THE WORLD ABSTRACT: The question of the earliest currently known rock art is considered from the empirical evidence available. The paper focuses on very early anthropogenic rock markings in central India and reviews these in a global context. The implications of taphonomic logic are considered to show that the most convenient interpretation of the available evidence is not necessarily the most parsimonious. KEY WORDS: Petroglyphs – Acheulian – India – Cupules – Taphonomic logic For about a century now – ever since de Sautuola's great There can be little doubt that the corpus of Ice Age rock discovery, the rock art of Altamira, was posthumously art found in Australia is considerably greater than that of accepted by archaeology – we have been given the general Europe, and yet technologically, Pleistocene Australia is impression that art essentially originated in south-western of essentially Middle rather than Upper Palaeolithic Europe, and in the Upper Palaeolithic period.

[email protected] Abstract The study of human evolution has largely focused on skeletal developments and on the stone tools of successive technological traditions. The cultural and cognitive evolution of hominins has been comparatively neglected. Here it is proposed that beads and pendants provide some of the most reliable evidence for our non- physical (cognitive) evolution. The available corpus of such finds from the Middle and Late Pleistocene periods is presented and reviewed. It is shown to demonstrate not only the use of complex symbolisms several hundred millennia ago, but also the application of concepts of perfection and self-awareness. This finding agrees with other indicators of hominin cognition, but it clashes with the dominant notion that “modern” human faculties appeared with a hypothetical replacement of Europeans by Africans just 40,000 years ago.

  • When Did Humans Learn to Boil?
    When Did Humans Learn to Boil? JOHN D. SPETH Department of Anthropology, 101 West Hall, 1085 South University Avenue, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1107, USA; [email protected] submitted: 5 September 2014; accepted 4 April 2015 ABSTRACT The control of fire and the beginning of cooking were important developments in the evolution of human food- ways. The cooking techniques available to our ancestors for much of the Pleistocene would have been limited to simple heating and roasting. The next significant change in culinary technology came much later, when humans learned to wet-cook (i.e., “boil,” sensu lato), a suite of techniques that greatly increased the digestibility and nu- tritional worth of foods. Most archaeologists assume that boiling in perishable containers cannot pre-date the appearance of fire-cracked rock (FCR), thus placing its origin within the Upper Paleolithic (UP) and linking it to a long list of innovations thought to have been introduced by behaviorally modern humans. This paper has two principal goals. The first is to alert archaeologists and others to the fact that one can easily and effectively boil in perishable containers made of bark, hide, leaves, even paper and plastic, placed directly on the fire and without using heated stones. Thus, wet-cooking very likely pre-dates the advent of stone-boiling, the latter probably rep- resenting the intensification of an already existing technology. The second goal is to suggest that foragers might have begun stone-boiling if they had to increase the volume of foods cooked each day, for example, in response to larger average commensal-unit sizes.
