Full textAccumulations of small vertebrates on archaeological sites result from coprocenose as well as from post-depositionnal phenomena. The comprehension of the whole process is necessary to get a viable interpretation of the corresponding paleocommunity. The multi-taxa taphonomic analysis, based on micromammals, lagomorphs and birds, allows to obtain a precise characterisation of the predator. Taphonomic referentials, were created, they consist of experimentation on the impact of trampling, of a referential on the post-depositionnal modifications in the karstic system as well as of a referential of a great eagle owl accumulation. These referentials allowed to get a better approach of some variables used for the characterisation of the predator, such as the teeth isolation, the superficial alteration marks and the skeleton representation. The application of the multi-taxa method to the fossil assemblages showed an over-representation of three species on the site of Roc-en-Pail. The paleoecological data point out the presence of a cold climate with an open landscape as well as damp zones. For the Caune de l’Arago, the taphonomic analyses on the AU P and R emphasize the role of the great eagle owl, which induces a minimum bias of representativeness. The anthropogenic contribution of small game has been pointed out in the AU G4, J and Q. This site shows a series of cold stages and milder stages. The interpretation of these climatic variations and their correlation to MIS 12, 13 and 14 is complex, two hypotheses are discussed to interpret the infilling

Full textThe Upper Pleistocene occupation of the Témara Region (Morocco) and new data concerning Middle Palaeolithic subsistence behaviour in North Africa: A taphonomic and zooarchaeological approach to the fauna from El Harhoura 2 and El Mnasra”This work presents a taphonomic and zooarchaeological analysis focused on Pleistocene fauna from the Temara region of Morroco with particular emphasis on the recently excavated sites of El Harhoura 2 and El Mnasra. Particular attention is paid to the Aterian (Middle Palaeolithic, MSA), a techno-complex specific to Upper Pleistocene North Africa and whose behavioural aspects remain poorly documented. This is especially the case for hunting practices, site function and the spatial organization of the territory. This work proposes an interpretative model based on large mammal faunas considered in conjunction with the little regional information that is currently available. The results suggest short occupations involving multiple activities during MIS 5. The example of El Mnasra indicates that Aterian groups consumed ungulates of various sizes (Gazelles, Equidae, Suidae, Bovinae, etc.) with the entire chaîne opératoire related to the butchery of carcasses carried out on-site. In addition to large game, these groups also integrated tortoise and shellfish in their diet. The example of El Harhoura 2 demonstrates carnivores who preyed mainly on gazelle to be the site’s main occupants during OIS 3-4, a period which can be correlated with more rigorous climatic conditions and lower sea levels. Aterian groups probably occupied the rockshelter only during brief stopovers. Despite culture changes evident in the lithic industry and the site being used as a burial ground during the ensuing Iberomaurusian period (Late Upper Palaeolithic/LSA), the accumulators of the fauna at El Harhoura 2 remain carnivores and the proportion of species larger than gazelle increases. On a larger scale, these results highlight similarities in subsistence strategies that can be added to other convergent behavioural features such as the use of pigments and the presence of Nassarius sp. beads. During OIS 5, anatomically modern humans (AMH) exploited coastal areas as well as fairly large ungulates and tortoise in both North and South Africa. However, this diversification of resources is not unique to AMH as Neanderthals are known to have exploited coastal environments in the Iberian Peninsula and Italy. This period is therefore crucial for understanding Middle Palaeolithic/ MSA evolutionary dynamics and related behavioural traits not only in North Africa, but also in a broader geographical perspective

Full textThe thesis explores how the properties of biodiversity are preserved in the sedimentary archives. Discussions are supported by the analysis of the modern tropical fauna of the Touho Lagoon (New Caledonia), collected during the Montrouzier expedition in 1993. The differences between live bivalve assemblages and dead shell assemblages are quantified with various indices (taxonomic richness, PIE index of evenness, rarefaction curves, fidelity indices) and classification tools (Cluster analyses, NMDS).Environmental parameters, such as the type of substrate or the water-depth, are responsible for variations among live species associations. The composition of dead shell assemblages differs from the living communities but environmental informations arepreserved. Generally, the dead shell assemblages are more diversified than live fauna of the same sites because of the accumulation of rare species. The higher diversity of dead shell assemblages can be explained by 1) the preservation of autochthonous bivalve shells, 2) the input of allochthonous shells and 3) the time-averaging. The fidelity of dead shell assemblages to the biological communities varies according to the environmental conditions. For example, dead shell assemblages found on hard substrate environments may be very different from the living communities. Allochthonous species tend to accumulate in deep outer shelf environments... Salinity, substrate or water-depth are main perturbation factors, as they imply loss or gain of taxa.The preservation of living communities varies according to the biological caracteristics, such as ecology, population structure or shells mineralogy

Full textThe appearance of stone tool making behavior In the Shungura Formation coincides with the appearance of the early Oldowan. It lasts over a limited time period (Member F and the lower part of Member G: 2.32 Ma to 2 Ma), while hominid fossils are present in all members, from 3.6 Ma to 1 Ma. A multi-scalar approach was developed for assessing potential interrelations and co-evolution be-tween Early Oldowan human occupations and environmental factors. This approach has allowed to include an extensive set of archaeological and paleoenvironmental data (a hundred of occurrences in Member F and ca. fifty occurrences in the lower part of Member G, thousands of faunal remains from Members E and F, and field geological data). Depending on the spatial and temporal resolution of these different records, I have defined three scales of analysis, from archeological complex scale, to study area and formation scales. The combination of spatial and taphonomical analyses of archeo-logical data, coupled with the analysis of faunal assemblages, suggest that only few archeological occurrences correspond to primary occupations in Member F. They are all located in the lower part of Member F, in the vicinity of the Omo paleoriver, in a global context of opening up and drying of the environment. Additionally, the differential spatial distribution of several faunal taxa between the northern and southern parts of the Type area could mark a greater extension of wet areas in the southern part of the Shungura Formation

Estudos actuopaleontológicos sobre os danos que o ambiente e outros organismos causam nas conchas de gastrópodes, tanto fósseis como atuais no Brasil, são incipientes e há pouca produção na área. Este trabalho estudou as frequências de cinco assinaturas tafonômicas, tais como abrasão, fragmentação, bioerosão, incrustação e dissolução observadas em 895 bioclastos coletados em três localidades da costa litorânea brasileira: Macaé-RJ, com sua linha de costa aberta, desprotegida e adjacente à área de ressurgência de Cabo Frio-RJ; Ubatuba-SP, com linha de costa recortada, caracterizada por pouca energia; e Cananéia-SP no extremo sul paulista, com sua linha de costa aberta e influência estuarina. As coletas bióticas a abióticas, realizadas em parceria com o LabCam (Unesp/Bauru), aconteceram mensalmente, de junho de 2013 a julho de 2014, com a utilização de barco camaroeiro e rede de arrasto em profundidades de 5 a 15 metros. A Olivancillaria urceus e a Buccinanops gradatus se destacaram pela quantidade entre as 16 espécies identificadas nas três localidades. Demarcaram-se padrões de assinaturas tafonômicas em dois diferentes grupos (subambientes), relacionados principalmente com a estabilidade da concha/sedimento. Esta estabilidade mostrou relação com a profundidade, recorte da costa e distância geográfica de ilhas, área de ressurgência e correntes. Esta observação permitirá estabelecer termos comparativos para o estudo de concentrações fossilíferas, melhorando o entendimento de sua gênese e contribuindo, assim, para o aprimoramento da interpretação paleoecológica.

Full textMeasurement of bioturbation reflects physical and biological processes operating over time and can be used to reveal information about paleo-environments. The purpose of this study was to determine the intensity of bioturbation in Triassic Moenkopi Formation at Hurricane Mesa in Southwestern Utah. This formation is interpreted as having been deposited mostly in large ancient river channels, tidal flats, delta and shallow marine environments. Five stratigraphic sections measured in the Virgin Limestone Member provided the basis for this study. Detailed descriptions and quantification of bioturbation were recorded in each of the sections. Similar treatment was given to additional study sites in the rest of the formation, above the Virgin Limestone. Treatments on selected samples were implemented to better reveal evidence of bioturbation. In these treatments samples were coated with water or oil, etched with HCL and viewed under blacklight. Integrating the results of the treatments with x-ray diffraction and petrographic analysis suggest that there was minimal bioturbation. These findings are consistent with more rapid deposition than previously reported by other researchers.
