  • The Earliest Evidence of Acheulian Occupation in Northwest

    The Earliest Evidence of Acheulian Occupation in Northwest

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The earliest evidence of Acheulian occupation in Northwest Europe and the rediscovery of the Moulin Received: 5 December 2017 Accepted: 19 August 2019 Quignon site, Somme valley, France Published: xx xx xxxx Pierre Antoine1, Marie-Hélène Moncel2, Pierre Voinchet2, Jean-Luc Locht1,3, Daniel Amselem2, David Hérisson 4, Arnaud Hurel2 & Jean-Jacques Bahain2 The dispersal of hominin groups with an Acheulian technology and associated bifacial tools into northern latitudes is central to the debate over the timing of the oldest human occupation of Europe. New evidence resulting from the rediscovery and the dating of the historic site of Moulin Quignon demonstrates that the frst Acheulian occupation north of 50°N occurred around 670–650 ka ago. The new archaeological assemblage was discovered in a sequence of fuvial sands and gravels overlying the chalk bedrock at a relative height of 40 m above the present-day maximal incision of the Somme River and dated by ESR on quartz to early MIS 16. More than 260 fint artefacts were recovered, including large fakes, cores and fve bifaces. This discovery pushes back the age of the oldest Acheulian occupation of north-western Europe by more than 100 ka and bridges the gap between the archaeological records of northern France and England. It also challenges hominin dispersal models in Europe showing that hominins using bifacial technology, such as Homo heidelbergensis, were probably able to overcome cold climate conditions as early as 670–650 ka ago and reasserts the importance of the Somme valley, where Prehistory was born at the end of the 19th century.

    148 'Je Suis En Australie': a Personal Memoir of Villers-Bretonneux

    148 ‘JE SUIS EN AUSTRALIE’: A PERSONAL MEMOIR OF VILLERS-BRETONNEUX ANNE BRASSART 1 ‘I am in Australia!’ Those were the words we screamed as children when stepping with delight on the thick lawn of the Australian cemetery in Villers- Bretonneux. Under the vast sky, blue or grey, here was ‘Australia’, here was immensity, here was freedom. On the soft green turf, we could run and run, first to the centre of the lawn where the tall stone cross stood, supporting an impressively big sword, point down. We would climb the very high steps leading to the foot of the cross and then we would go on as far as the majestic tower dominating the Memorial. It was a race to see who would reach it first. But we never went inside. It had been damaged during the last war (1939– 1945), and was unsafe. Behind the tower, at the far end of what was for us ‘Australia’, there were no tombs but big bushes which were ideal for playing hide and seek or other games that did not require anything but running and sometimes singing. Lots of delighted children’s laughter rose to the sky! We knew that the Mémorial was a burial place for the Australian soldiers, and also some from Canada and New Zealand, but because it looked more like a park, and was not at all a sad place, we did not think of it as a cemetery. The vastness of it, especially for small children, and the open fields all around it, sloping gently down to the valley of the Somme, gave us an exciting feeling of liberty.

    Le Canton De Villers-Bocage : Le Territoire De La Commune De Querrieu

    Hauts-de-France, Somme Querrieu Le canton de Villers-Bocage : le territoire de la commune de Querrieu Références du dossier Numéro de dossier : IA80000273 Date de l'enquête initiale : 1998 Date(s) de rédaction : 2001 Cadre de l'étude : inventaire topographique canton de Villers-Bocage Désignation Aires d'études : Villers-Bocage Milieu d'implantation : Historique Le nom de Querrieu dérive du latin Carus rivus (attesté en 1145). Il apparaît sous l'orthographe Kyerru dans un texte de 1204. Le village s'est développé le long de la route d'Amiens à Albert, à l'endroit où cette ancienne voie romaine franchit l'Hallue : jusqu'en 1738, un droit de péage était perçu sur le pont par le seigneur de Querrieu, qui possédait en outre un moulin banal sur la rivière (ainsi qu'un four et un pressoir banaux, rue du Four des Champs, et un gibet et pilori). La plus ancienne mention de cette seigneurie remonte à 1106 (charte de donation en faveur de la léproserie de Corbie), et le plus ancien représentant connu en est Foulques de Querrieu (1183). Le château actuel, quoique complètement remanié aux 17e et 19e siècles, conserve le tracé de deux tours rondes qui rappellent l'importance stratégique de cette place dans la défense d'Amiens. Quant à l'église paroissiale, elle apparaît dans plusieurs actes du 13e siècle. La structure de la nef pourrait remonter à l'époque romane, mais l'édifice connut de profonds remaniements aux 15e et 16e siècles. La maladrerie de Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, citée en 1182, a totalement disparu : elle occupait le site du jardin Saint-Ladre, à l'angle du chemin d'Allonville et de la route nationale.
