ABSTRACT Increasing evidence suggests that bifacial technology (Acheulian, Mode 2) arrived in Europe during the early Middle Pleistocene, i.e. significantly earlier than previously proposed. In northern France and Britain, much of age attribution for these assemblages has been based on biostratigraphy lithostratigraphy rather absolute dates. This study presents a systematic application electron spin resonance (ESR) dating sedimentary quartz ESR/U‐series fossil tooth enamel to key Acheulian...
Les nouvelles investigations menées sur les tufs du bassin de la Somme dans le cadre programme SITEP (CNRS) ont permis mettre en évidence une formation tufacée reposant nappe alluviale position très basse terrasse à Caours (Scardon). La séquence est séparée périglaciaire sous-jacente par des limons fluviatiles calcaires se terminant un petit sol marais coiffé liseré tourbe compactée. proprement dite comporte essentiellement faciès palustres nombreux restes végétaux encroûtés place et...

The analytic concern ESR, TL-IRSL 14C dates, which reinforce chrono-stratigraphical interpretation various Palaeolithic sites.

Peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) using MALDI-TOF spectrometry allows the identification of bone species based on their type I collagen sequence. In archaeological or paleontological field, PMF is known as zooarchaeology (ZooMS) and widely implemented to find markers for most species, including extinct ones. addition ZooMS enables dating estimation by measuring deamidation value specific peptides. Herein, we report several enhancements classical technique, which reduces 10-fold required...
Abstract Middle Paleolithic Neanderthal populations occupied Eurasia for at least 250,000 years prior to the arrival of anatomically modern humans. While a considerable body archaeological research has focused on material culture and subsistence strategies, little attention been paid relationship between regionally specific cultural trajectories their associated existing fundamental ecological niches, nor how latter varied across periods climatic variability. We examine record naturally...
ABSTRACT This study presents an overview of Middle Pleistocene loess–palaeosol sequences (LPS) in northern France and discusses the palaeoclimatic significance pedosedimentary record context western European LPS global climatic cycles for last 750 ka. In this area, oldest loess deposits (early Pleistocene) are preserved sedimentary traps (leeward scarps fluvial terraces dissolution sinkholes). They result from local deflation processes reworking sandy or relicts Tertiary sands. A large...
ABSTRACT Apart from a few lacustrine sequences, in North‐West Europe the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 11 interglacial is mainly represented fluvial sequences and particularly well preserved calcareous tufa formations. These are favourable for preservation of range fossil groups several them have yielded artefacts Acheulean affinity. Molluscan shells most abundant proxy, occurring throughout these deposits. They provide valuable means reconstructing palaeoenvironments contemporaneous with human...
Since more than fifteen years, deep test pits and small archaeological excavations, led in rescue archaeology context, have allowed the discovery of pleistocene human occupation remains. Fifteen layers been discovered, fit a reliable chronostratigraphical context. They can be ranger from isotopic marine stage 14 or 13 to 2, either 550 000 12 years before present. enhance dataset knowledges peopling modalities north-west Europe during Palaeolithic.
A database of Pleistocene periglacial features in France has been compiled from a review academic literature and reports rescue archaeology, the analysis aerial photographs new field surveys. Polygons, soil stripes, ice-wedge pseudomorphs, sand wedges composite wedge pseudomorphs are included together with their geographic coordinates, geological context, description associated references. It is hoped that this database, which aim to be integrated broader studies, will stimulate further work...
La région des Hauts-de-France a livré ces trente dernières années un nombre conséquent d'occupations néandertaliennes attribuées au Paléolithique moyen, corrélées à la fin du Pléistocène moyen et début supérieur. Malgré nombreuses découvertes, l'Eemien – le dernier Interglaciaire (129‑116 ka) demeure une période méconnue sur plan paléoenvironnemental anthropologique, constat valable pour moitié Nord de France mais également l'ensemble l'Europe Nord-Ouest même plus largement occidentale. Dans...
Current data seem to suggest that the earliest hominins only occupied Northwest of Europe during favourable climatic periods, and left area when climate was too cold dry, in same way as Neandertal even Homo sapiens . However, several sites England North France indicate hominins, possibly antecessor and/or heidelbergensis , could adapt cool environments open grasslands without use fire. Recent discoveries Acheulean lithic assemblages early glacial fluvial deposits at Moulin Quignon Somme...
RÉSUMÉ Situé au pied d'une butte tertiaire résiduelle, le gisement de Beauvais a livré nombreux vestiges, lithiques et osseux, occupation du Paléolithique moyen sur une superficie 763 m2. Les caractéristiques sédimentolo- giques la structure des dépôts sables éoliens contenant matériel archéologique, indiquent conditions froides sèches un milieu steppique fortement ouvert. Le cortège faunique, dominé par Renne, évoque également climatiques rigoureuses. L'industrie lithique est caractérisée...
