During Prehistory, past societies challenged numerous climatic and environmental changes, of unequal duration, varying intensity and within a global pattern of glacial/interglacial cycles. Therefore, understanding how these societies faced these environmental conditions and how they adapted is a crucial question for prehistorians. In that...

During the Last Interglacial-Early Glacial transition (MIS5-MIS4; ~73 ka), substantial hydroclimatic changes affected morphogenetic processes, landform dynamics, and ecosystem variability over the Mediterranean sub-alpine valleys. This transition is mainly preserved in the northern Mediterranean region in continuous marine, lacustrine, and peat...

Robust methodology in charcoal analyses has strong potential in the reconstruction of past environments. However, charcoal assemblages from Pleistocene contexts, particularly those that formed under varying climatic conditions during glaciation and mostly composed of the genus Pinus, can neither express changes in forest density, nor can they...

Whether one is interested in paleoeconomic or technical aspects related to the use of fire, or in taphonomy, the concept of temperature is central in charcoal analysis. Based on experimental results, we will provide an overview of the concept of temperature in anthracology, covering both its theoretical and epistemological aspects.What does the...

During Prehistory, the European territories challenged numerous climatic changes of varying intensity and frequency. Therefore, understanding how these variations modified the ecosystems and landscapes and how ancient societies faced these latter are critical issues for prehistorians. Unfortunately, local or regional data on short-term...

Depuis le Pléistocène supérieur, les Préalpes du Sud ont été le témoin de fortes modifications paysagères et culturelles, mais des processus morphogéniques et une topographie accidentée ont limité la recherche dans certains secteurs. Des prospections récentes ont souligné le potentiel informatif des petites vallées, dont la vallée du Jabron...

Methodological approaches that allow the characterization of environmental and climatic changes on complementary tem-poral and geographical scales are essential in the study of the response of ancient societies to changes in their environment.Here, through the combining taxonomic and isotopic (δ13 C) analysis of archaeological ...

The Paleolithic site of Mutzig, discovered by chance in 1992 (Sainty, 1992), has been the focus of several excavations since 2009. Located in Alsace (Bas-Rhin, France), it is presently one of only a handful of sites reliably attributed to the Middle Paleolithic in this area; it thus provides rare evidence for a zone still relatively unknown for...
