The Epigravettian chrono-cultural entity was defined in the 1960s by G. Laplace (1964) to describe the post-Gravettian lithic industries in Italy. At the time he pointed out the contrast between the apparent continuity from Gravettian to Mesolithic in Italy and the diverse breaks which occurred contemporaneously in Western Europe. Subsequently,...

Prehistoric archeology relies on a spatially and temporally discreet datum to study the functioning and the evolution of societies in a continuous space and temporality. The study of the territorial organization of societies constitutes one of the possible ways to link these two dimensions. Based on raw material analyses and on a...

Southeastern France is a particular area as regards the late upper Palaeolithic as it lies between the northwestern prehistoric domain on one side, and the Mediterranean and eastern one on the other side; between the Solutrean-Badegoulian-Magdalenian-Azilian sequence and the Epigravettian one. This PhD work focuses on the techno-economic study...

Les Prés de Laure : Campagne 2015

Following an evaluation carried out by the Archaeology Service of Département du Var on a Société du Canal de Provence (SCP) pipeline in Vinon-sur-Verdon (Var), two new dolmens have been identified and described. These dolmens are unambiguously linked to all the dolmens of eastern Provence, of which they constitute the most western examples until now.

La Préhistoire au sud de l'Arc de Castellane (Nord du Var, Sud des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)

Understanding details of stone tool procurement and transfers is for a major research avenue in improving our knowledge about prehistoric societies. The accuracy of the provisioning sources identifications is based on the establishment of large regional repositories. Recent studies show that specific investigations on the evolution of cherts...
