Abstract

Conduite dans une optique palethnologique, cette étude apporte des éléments décisifs à la connaissance du mode de vie durant le Paléolithique moyen et des rapports que l’Homme a établis avec son environnement animal et minéral. L’aven de La Borde est en effet l’un des premiers, sinon le premier gisement français de cette période, où l’on a pu mettre en évidence l’exploitation quasi systématique du seul grand herbivore, l’Aurochs. Menée dans les conditions difficiles d’un sauvetage urgent, la fouille a donné lieu, grâce à l’intervention d’une équipe pluridisciplinaire associant étroitement des chercheurs du ministère de la Culture, du CNRS et de l’Université. à une étude qui, à partir de l’analyse de la stratigraphie, des restes fauniques et de l’industrie lithique, conduit les auteurs à discuter du type de site étudié (piège naturel, dépotoir ou habitat), à aborder les stratégies de subsistance (charognage, citasse ou économie mixte) des Paléolithiques et à déterminer les territoires parcourus ainsi que les concepts de gestion de l’outillage. This study in paleo-ethnology constantes a decisive contribution to knowledge of lifestyles during the Middle Paleolithic and the relationships of Man with his animal and mineral environments. The La Borde aven is one of the first, if not indeed the first French deposit front this period, for which it has been possible to demonstrate more or less systematic exploitation of a single large herbivore, the Aurochs. In spite of the difficult conditions of an urgent rescue excavation, a multidisciplinary team associating researchers from the Ministère de la Culture, from the CNRS and the Universities carried out a study based on stratigraphic analysis and lithic and faunal remains; these lead the authors from a discussion of the type of site (natural trop, waste site or dwelling-site) to an examination of Paleolithic subsistence strategies (scavenging, hunting or mixed economy) and a definition of territories occupied and tool…

Abstract

The mighty and majestic European bison is the relictual embodiment of the wildness of prehistoric Europe. Tragically, the millennia since that time have seen so many species driven to extinction by human impacts, and the European bison has only narrowly avoided the same fate. Today, the species represents the symbolic sentinel of successful conservation actions in a world in which such achievements remain few and far between. From an early stage in the restitution of the European bison, husband-and-wife team Małgorzata Krasińska and Zbigniew A. Krasiński have been participating in relevant management initiatives and researching all facets of the bison, from its morphology and diet, to its movements, social life and reproduction, and the conservation management actions that have been taken to save it. Now they have summarised this wealth of knowledge on the species, giving rise to a publication ideal for students, professional biologists and conservationists, but also for all nature enthusiasts. This new edition of the monograph offers extensively updated content taking into account research carried out on the European bison in the last few years. Also featured, a new chapter devoted to knowledge of the genetics of the species drawn up by Małgorzata Tokarska of the Białowieża-based Mammal Research Institute PAS.
