  • Les Eyzies De Tayac Sireuil
    LES EYZIES DE TAYAC SIREUIL Le rôle, entre autre, d’un Conseil Municipal est de veiller au bien-être et au confort des habitants de son territoire. Cela suppose de se préoccuper de tout ce qui touche aux conditions matérielles d’accueil, aux infrastructures (école, cabinet médical, etc…), aux équipements sportifs ou de loisirs mais également à la sécurité des personnes. C’est ainsi que nous avons eu à nous pencher, comme l’ensemble des communes du département, sur la problématique de l’organisation des secours en cas de difficulté majeure liée à un évènement accidentel ou climatologique. L’expérience, notamment, de la tempête de 1999, nous a conduits à formuler un certain nombre d’observations et de préconisations visant à être plus efficaces et plus réactifs à l’avenir face à de tels évènements qui pourraient malheureusement à nouveau survenir. Il y a donc lieu de gérer plusieurs paramètres, savoir qui fait quoi, comment contacter les personnes, de quels moyens disposons-nous et de quelle façon travaillons-nous avec les services de l’Etat. Cette réflexion globale a abouti à l’élaboration d’un Plan Communal de Sauvegarde qui servira de support utile en cas de difficulté et sera adaptable ou révisable dans le temps. Ce type de travail me semble essentiel dans nos territoires ruraux. Il m’arrive souvent, en effet, de mettre en avant la nécessaire qualité de services à conserver ou à développer dans nos campagnes où il doit faire bon vivre sans manquer de l’essentiel. On mesure ici toute l’importance de l’échelon indispensable des élus municipaux par rapport aux populations qui doivent rester des interlocuteurs de proximité et heureusement que les réformes territoriales concernant les instances de types Communautés de Communes ou bientôt cantons n’ont jusqu’à présent pas remis en cause le statut des Maires et des conseillers municipaux dans nos petites communes.

  • Abstracts of Reports and Posters
    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.

  • Bataille on Lascaux and the Origins of Art
    Bataille on Lascaux and the Origins of Art Richard White Creighton University Bataille’s book Lacaux has not received much scholarly attention. This essay attempts to fill in a gap in the literature by explicating Bataille’s scholarship on Lascaux to his body of writing as a whole—an exercise that, arguably, demonstrates the significance of the book and, consequently, the shortsightedness of its neglect by critics who have not traditionally grasped the relevance of the text for illuminating Bataille’s theory of art and transgression. Bataille’s major work on the Lascaux cave paintings, Prehistoric Paint- ing: Lascaux or the Birth of Art, was originally published as the first volume in a series called “The Great Centuries of Painting.”1 It is an impressive book with color photographs and supporting documents, and in his text, Bataille deals conscientiously with the existing state of prehistoric studies and scholarly accounts of Lascaux. But in spite of this—or rather because of it—Lascaux the book has received very little attention from prehistoric scholars, art historians or even Bataille enthusiasts.2 For one thing, the format of this work seems to undermine the power of transgression which is the subject as well as the driving force behind most of Bataille’s writings. The very context of a multi-volume series on great art and artists suggests an uncritical perception of art as a universal which remains the same from Lascaux to Manet.3 In Lascaux, as opposed to most of his other writings, Bataille offers his own contribution to an existing historical controversy, and he is constrained in advance by the terms of this debate.
