The site of Les Pradelles has an important mousterian stratigraphic sequence. In the lower
levels, the very low density of artefacts as well as the carnivores scavenging of carcasses …

This study of Middle Palaeolithic assemblages from the Rhone Valley, in the South-East of
France, increases our understanding of Neanderthal subsistence strategies and modes of …

A new methodology for estimating the age of death of horse, based on the degree of
hypsondonty, has been established using the dental material of Equus mosbachensis …

The work reported here uses several approaches to examine the costs and benefits
associated with exploiting potential sources of lithic raw material in the Vaucluse, southern …

The study of the lithic assemblages of two French sites, the Bau de l'Aubesier and Payre,
contributes new knowledge of the earliest Neanderthal techno-cultural variability. In this …

We evaluated the skeletal profiles from several levels of the Neanderthal site of Abric
Romaní, focusing on the methodology proposed by Faith and Gordon (2007): differences in …

The variability of technical choices in the Rhône Valley (southeast France) is discussed in
relation to the age, environmental conditions, site localisation and site function. New …

We apply a resource selection model to the lithic assemblages from 11 archaeological
layers at a Middle Palaeolithic site in southern France, the Bau de l'Aubesier. The model …

In this study, we propose a method based on life tables currently used in population
dynamics and ecology to compare the mortality curves of Equidae from anthropic and …

The interpretation of stone tool assemblages is difficult. How can provisioning choices,
travel, and technological organization, when combined with the vagaries of use, discard …
