Hohle Fels Cave at the end of the Würmian glaciation: Preliminary information and implications

for the Southern German Magdalenian

This poster presents preliminary information on the Magdalenian of Hohle Fels Cave, along with future pros-

pects and goals. The analysis of lithic technology of the Magdalenian represents the core of my dissertation.

The Magdalenian assemblage from Hohle Fels consists of 9695 pieces individually entered in an Access©-

database including 8603 pieces >1cm and 1092 tools. These are complemented by 14693 pieces of small-

and micro débitage. The analysis of lithic technology centers around understanding blank production mo-

dalities, chaîne opératoire and core organization. The prime focus is the laminar technology, as blades and

bladelets clearly dominate the assemblage, consisting of more than half of the individually entered pieces.

Among the tools, the main focus lies on the production of the backed pieces that represent just under half

of all tools (542 pieces), which stresses their importance for Magdalenian people´s everyday lives and justi-

es special attention. For this reason, the analysis examines the blanks on which the backed pieces were

manufactured and the manner in which they were retouched. This is crucial as different ways of retouching

the pieces can indicate different uses, ways of hafting or hafting positions. Putative ways of tool use as well

as actual use wear-traces will be detected and discussed.

The goal of the analysis of the stone artefacts is to technologically characterize the assemblage and thus

establish a comparability with other well studied Magdalenian assemblages. Through the functional approach

towards the backed pieces actual dynamics of late Würmian everyday life become visible. This, together with

new radiocarbon dates, will help incorporate Hohle Fels into the European landscape of Magdalenian sites.

This point is closely linked with an evaluation of the southern German Magdalenian and could aid in the

attempt to reconstruct the process, direction and time-span of the recolonisation of the Swabian Jura after

a hiatus in occupation around the last glacial maximum.

Le Mésolithique des Fieux (Lot, France), bilan des nouvelles recherches

Les Fieux (Lot, France) Mesolithic levels, report of the new studies

Le site des Fieux fait l’objet de recherches archéologiques depuis 1967. Celles-ci sont en grande partie in-

édites, ce qui explique que le site demeure méconnu bien qu’il ait livré une séquence exceptionnelle incluant

des niveaux moustériens, aurignaciens, gravettiens et sauveterriens. Le site fait actuellement l’objet d’un

projet d’aménagement et de valorisation. Depuis 1999, de nouveaux travaux de terrain et de laboratoire ont

permis à une équipe pluridisciplinaire de relancer l’étude de la séquence mésolithique en vue d’une publica-

tion monographique. Les principaux résultats, qui font du gisement des Fieux une séquence clé pour la

connaissance du premier Mésolithique dans le sud de la France, seront rapidement présentés dans cette

communication.

Stadice – an Epigravettian site with non-utilitarian structures in NW Bohemia

A rescue excavation at Stadice site, NW Bohemia, was carried out by Slavomil Vencl in 1987. Ground plan

of an almost entire camp with very interesting structures was uncovered on an area of 164 m

. According

to the radiometric date obtained (GrN-15862: 14280±120 BP), the site falls within Epigravettian. To this

age also corresponds the local lithic industry. Contrary to Gravettian-Pavlovian, formal tools are far less

formalized, i.e. shaped by lateral retouch. Unusual is also the disproportional predominance of burins over

end-scrapers, which are almost missing. Backed points and backed bladelets are relatively seldom, too. 97%

of all industry are made of northern int acquired probably from glaciuvial sediments in Germany more

than 30 km away, among the other raw materials are marlite, xylolite, chert, geysirite, quartz a. o. Most inter-

esting, however, are pits including chipped stone industry or bones. Only in one case are both materials as-

sociated. Another pit – at the edge of a supposed dwelling – contained 10 kg of ochre. S. Vencl has sup-
