Abstract

À l’origine de ce livre, un paradoxe : l’action outillée a été beaucoup plus étudiée chez l’animal, où elle est l’exception, que chez l’homme, où elle est la règle. Or c’est en faisant de cette action la règle ou le modèle de ses activités matérielles que l’espèce humaine s’est constituée en tant que telle. Dans le monde animal, l’action outillée ne fait intervenir que des automatismes corporels, qui peuvent certes rodés et perfectionnés par apprentissage, mais qui sont innés et dont la mise en oeuvre n’exige pas d’attention particulière. Chez l’homme, au contraire, l’outil implique un partage de l’attention et des aptitudes mentales tout à fait inédites. Comment de telles aptitudes ont-elles pu se développer ? Et si ce partage de l’attention entre fin et moyen était à l’origine de la conscience d’un réel ayant une existence indépendante, et par suite de la conscience de soi ? Ainsi, ce ne serait pas l’homme qui fait l’outil, mais bien plutôt l’outil qui fait l’homme…

Abstract

Outre un souci méthodologique, la recherche vise a appréhender des résultats liés à la formation et à la diffusion du néolithique européen en relation avec ses origines proche-orientales. La vaste échelle de travail adoptée permet de construire la comparaison entre différents complexes géo-culturels de la néolithisation.

Abstract

Mise en commun des résultats de chercheurs européens travaillant sur le sujet qui mettent en évidence le fait que, dès la fin du néolithique, des hommes ont atteint un certain degré de spécialisation qui a conduit à une production aux qualités exceptionnelles.

Abstract

"In this study of prehistoric innovation, the author argues that a range of technologies and practices need to be considered in order to place innovation into the pre-existing social and technological systems in which it functioned and to assess the means by which it was accepted and valued. In particular the study focuses on how archaeological interpretations of stone objects and stone-working can help understand the adoption and continued presence of metal and metallurgy in prehistoric Europe. The author compares traditionally identified stone skeuomorphs--that is, meaningful imitations--of metal with their putative prototypes. Three separate corpora of these stone skeuomorphs have been identified: polished stone shafthole axes from the Netherlands and surrounding areas, identified as copies of perforated, copper axes; flint daggers from Jutland, identified as copies of bronze, metal-hilted daggers; and jet spacer-plate ornaments from the British Isles, Ireland and Brittany, identified as copies of hammered gold lunulae."--

Abstract

This volume presents research on the early Middle Palaeolithic in Cantabrian Spain (northern Atlantic façade), in particular on the economic and social behaviour of the Neanderthal groups living in the region between OIS 7 and OIS 4. The study is focused on the production, management and use of lithic tools, the strategies to capture and work with animal and plant resources, the ways of exploiting the territory and the range of social organisation within a diachronic and regional framework. This approach emphasises the reconstruction of the whole technical system as it reflects the social system and the historical dynamics in which it developed.

Abstract

"La Garma A is a small cave located in the lower third of La Garma Hill (Cantabria, Spain), at 80m above sea level. It is situated near the village of Omoño, in the municipal district of Ribamontán al Monte, near the eastern shore of Santander Bay, about 12km to the southeast of the city. To undertake this research the author examined the lithic archaeological record of part of the Palaeolithic stratigraphy of the archaeological deposit at La Garma A, covering the period between 15,100 and 12,200 years ago in calibrated chronology, corresponding to the periods known as middle and upper Magdalenian. The starting point in the development of the objectives of this study was to determine the extent to which the lithic assemblage at La Garma A matches previous expectations based on the geographical location of the site, in Cantabrian Spain, and its chronology. In addition, the author looks at how the lithic technology evolved over three thousand years and the contribution its study can make to the overall interpretation of the site. At the same time, more specific and technical objectives are related to the definition of knapping processes, the raw materials chosen for retouching in its different formats and size modules, and for the manufacture of different types of implements. The end result of the research is an attempt to understand the evolution in the use of the lithic assemblages in the sequence at La Garma A, corresponding to the time segment of 15,000-12,000 cal BC, and to provide a platform for further investigations into the identification of the raw materials and quarries involved. Further analysis of some of the cave's features will be fundamental for the understanding of the hunter-gatherers' way of life in the region, whereas the study of other sites of similar chronology will complete the regional panorama."--Publisher's web site.
