Abstract

This book brings together 30 papers by leading scholars in the field of usewear and residue analysis. This publication aims to revive the debate on the role of traceology (use-wear and residues) in multidisciplinary approaches that address archaeological questions. Many studies on technological aspects of material culture deal with specific material categories (e.g. flint, ceramics, bone), often in separate or isolated ways, and this division does not really reflect the integrated nature of technical systems in which different material categories are in dynamic interaction. Hence, exploring the interaction between different chaînes opératoires is crucial for a more global concept of the toolkit with all its components and it is a precondition for paleo-ethnographic reconstructions of technical systems and economies. Starting from a functional perspective, the papers in this book explore various topics such as apprenticeship, group dynamics, social status, economy, technological evolution, spatial organization, mobility patterns and territories, or adaptations to cultural and environmental changes.This collection of papers, presented at the AWRANA conference in 2018, constitutes a major sign of the dynamism, popularity and scientific importance of our discipline in current archaeological research. AWRANA 2018 was dedicated to the memory of H. Keeley.

Abstract

Le “Seine-Oise-Marne” n’avait pas fait l’objet d’une nouvelle analyse depuis les travaux de G. Bailloud en 1974. Peu de collections issues de sépultures collectives avaient été étudiées intégralement et le domaine domestique était à documenter. Cet ouvrage comporte une série d’articles, visant à combler cette lacune à partir d’études thématiques ciblées entre Picardie, Île-de-France et Champagne. Ce travail a été mené dans le cadre d’un Programme collectif de recherche du ministère de la Culture entre 2001 et 2008. Il en présente la version la plus aboutie, alimentée par de nouveaux résultats d’études qui ont pris en compte tous les aspects de la culture matérielle et une diversité de contextes de découvertes tant domestiques que funéraires. Il propose une image synthétique du Néolithique récent dans le Bassin parisien qui prend place dans la deuxième moitié du IVe millénaire avant notre ère (-3500/-2900). La confrontation des données conduit à préciser la chronologie de cette période, découpée désormais en trois étapes. Les caractéristiques des assemblages mobiliers permettent d’esquisser les contours de trois faciès régionaux qui se développent durant l’étape moyenne du Néolithique récent. The “Seine-Oise-Marne” Neolithic cultural complex has not benefited from any new analysis sincethe work of Gerard Bailloud in 1974. Few assemblages from collective burials have been comprehensively studied, and many aspects of domestic life still remained to be documented. This volume aims to overcome these lacunae, by presenting a senes of thematic studies originating from the regions of Picardie, Ile-de-France and Champagne. These studies were undertaken in the framework of a Collective Research Programme (PCR) of the French Ministry of Culture between 2001 and 2008. We present here the latest achievements of this programme, drawing on recent research results which take into account all relevant aspects of material culture, including the diverse contexts, both domestic…
