Large river valleys have long been seen as important factors to shape the mobility, communication, and exchange of Pleistocene hunter-gatherers. However, rivers debated either natural entities people adapt react or cultural meaningful experience interpret in different ways. Here, we attempt integrate both perspectives. Building on theoretical work from various disciplines, discuss relationship between biophysical properties sociocultural semantics suggest that understanding a river's persona...

La grotte de Verpillière à Germolles, commune Mellecey (Saône-et-Loire), a produit une séquence archéologique allant du Paléolithique moyen jusqu'au Gravettien. Cette contribution se focalise sur l'industrie lithique châtelperronienne, en prenant considération 150 ans recherches dans la cavité. D'un point vue techno- et typologique, cette étude tend inclure totalité des pièces ce site appartenant probablement au complexe châtelperronien. Elle comprend également les observations nos propres...
