Full textThe lithic industries of the European Lower Palaeolithic are characterized by a wide typo-technical diversity that is still poorly understood (bifacial assemblages, flakes, small tools...). This diversity is often explained only by cultural factors. Few researches take into consideration questions relating to the occupation of the sites, their function and their place in the territory. By taking these factors into account, this work participates in a re-evaluation of the interpretations of the lithic assemblages in order to identify the socio-economic behaviours of the considered human groups. The function of ancient tools is the focus of this thesis. In this perspective, in order to approach the tools in their own structure as well as within the lithic assemblage to which they belong, we have combined functional and techno-morpho-functional analysis. The restitution of post-depositional processes, an essential prerequisite to any functional analysis, is examined by the approach of petroarchaeology. This research is based on well-dated sites, which belong to reliable stratigraphic contexts and were studied by means of multidisciplinary analyses. The study focuses on nine archaeological lithic assemblages, which are representative of the typo-technological diversity that characterizes the period and from varied occupation modalities and paleoclimatic contexts: Soucy (France; MIS 9), Marathousa 1 (Greece; MIS 12) and Valle Giumentina (Italy; MIS 15-12). The data suggest that the activities, varied and short, are carried out with tools structured around an active and a prehensile edge. We propose that the composition of the observed lithic assemblages reflects the flexibility of human groups and their adaptation to immediate needs, to diversified local raw materials and to varied paleoenvironmental contexts. This flexibility could be responsible of the remarkable resilience of human groups through the environmental changes and climatic variations characterizing the Lower Palaeolithic

Full textOut of Africa diffusion models stipulate that the earliest humans reached Europe in two waves, each correlating with a different techno-cultural entity. The earliest occupation, dating back to over a million years ago, is characterised by the production of flakes and pebble tools. The second wave is related to the Acheulean, since the first handaxe industries in Europe date back to 0.6 million years ago. However, the Central European data are difficult to incorporate into this theoretical framework. Despite being located on the Out of Africa route towards Europe, this region has not yielded the archaeological evidence that could have been expected. Evidence of humans occupations before 0.5 million years ago is sparse and handaxes are absent during the entire duration of the Lower Palaeolithic with the assemblages present being more unique. Does Central Europe represent a specific techno-cultural unit during the Lower Palaeolithic? Or do we need to question our methodological tools to be able to find an answer to this apparent paradox? This study aims to answer these questions through the analyses of four lithic assemblages. The first two collections (Korolevo VI in Ukraine and Kärlich-Seeufer in Germany) are dated around 0.5 Ma and contain industries that are characterised by the production of various types of flakes. Conversely, the other two assemblages (Vértesszölös in Hungary and Bilzingsleben in Germany) are typified by the selective production of small blanks. The results of this study of the first lithic industries from Central Europe, allow a reconsideration of the question of the earliest occupation of Europe and the criteria taken into account in the definition of the different Lower Palaeolithic cultural entities and technological systems

Full textThese stone tools from Yunxian with other Lower Paleolithic sites in South China, for example, the site Lantian ( Shanxi, China ) and the site Bose (Guangxi, China ), indicates that there are many common characteristics among these industries. There are choppers, chopping-tools, picks, hand-axes, cleavers and scrapers. Long ago we thought that there are not hand-axes in China. In fact, there are a lots of hand-axes in China and these hand-axes existed more earlier than those in Europe. The hand-axe appeared in China before 800 000 years old and it barely arrived in Europe before 600 000 years old. The quaternary deposits of the site of Yunxian Hominid ( Hubei, China ) are at least dated to 800 000 years old. A large quantity of lower Paleolithic material was discovered. The types of the tools are choppers, picks, scrapers, hand-axes and cleavers. The pebbles tools make up the majority of the implements. Small flake tools are relatively rare. The lithic industries comparaison of the two regions has help us to know the cultural evolution in China and Europe

Full textThe thick Quaternary deposits of the Caune de l'Arago (Pyrénées-Orientales, France), are dated to between 690 000 and 90 000 years old. At least fifteen different archeostratigraphical units have been identified within these deposits, each corresponding to distinct Prehistoric occupations. Numerous stone tools made from several different rock types, have been discovered in each unit. The tools present specific characteristics concerning the choice of raw materials, the typology, and the technology used in their production. Morpho-technological study of the different elements composing the industry helps to understand the methods employed during their production. Each raw material is considered separately in order to understand its origin in the environment, its typological role and the technological methods privileged during its exploitation. Defining production systems leads to the characterisation of the assemblages from each unit. When compared, they reveal common elements, as well as differences, suggesting evolutionary trends. Some observations are made concerning the influence that the type of habitat might have had on the general morphology of each assemblage, thus taking into account exterior factors. Creation of a chrono-cultural framework, based on the notion of "stages", refers to the appearance of specific attributes in divers stone industries. They allow to understand the situation of the Caune de l'Arago assemblages, within the larger evolutionary context of the Lower Paleolithic in Mediterranean Europe

Full textThis work aims to reconsider the common models for the peopling of Europe during the Lower Pleistocene from a technological point of view. We studied the variability of Oldowan assemblages from Koobi Fora FxJj-10 (East Turkana, Kenya, Fejej FJ-1 (Lower Omo Valley, Ethiopia) and Olduvai DK (Tanzania). Then we compared the results with the first evidence of Human presence in Europe, mostly known because of lithic assemblages. In Europe , we studied the lithic matérials from Barranco Leon and Fuente Nueva 3 (Spain), Pirro Nord and Monte Poggiolo (Italy). Each region show the same technological features, based on simple technical criteria applied cautiously on the cores to produce a variety of flakes. Differences appear inside each area depending of the flaking modality : independant flake production (each flake is one operation, that can be repeated on the same core as long as acurate angles are present) or reccurent flake production (continuous series of recurrent flakes). The choice of one modality or the other is playing a very important rôle in raw material selection, that influences the type and shape of raw materials selected. The selection is made on purpose, and not as an adaptation of natural constraints, as shown in most sites environment where all materials are equally available, but clear choices are made.On the other hand, flaking modality does not change the objectives of production and the techno-functional groups are very similar in all sites. We propose that this choice is a cultural trait that changes a lot what was up to now considered as low evolved and simple technology. The European peopling cannot be related to technological features. According to the data studied, there is no argument that enhance the arrival of an African population, and more arguments that sustain the technical convergence and independant development of stone tool technology during the Lower Pleistocene

Full textThe historic and substantial diversity of the Western European Acheulian can be perceived from a phenomenological standpoint. All of the 36 lithic assemblages studied in France, England, Italy and Spain provide an original production. The bifacial phenomenon can be separated from other expressions of the Acheulian. Indeed, bifacial pieces, in the strict sense, appear in great numbers in northern Europe around the OIS 11 and in the Mediterranean region around the OIS 9. However, the latter are found under different forms, which imply major modifi cations of all the production. The critical analysis of lithostratigraphic contexts and the consideration of technical, technological and chronological diversities, allow reconsidering the paradigm of the « Out of Africa » diffusion. The hypothesis of a local invention and evolution of bifacial pieces can be put forward. The use of this term has limited our perception of the Lower Paleolithic as a whole. One should now focus on analyzing the diversity of human behaviors and societies
