Fontalès, Courbet, Bruniquel-montastruc: links between major magdalenian sites in the valley of
Aveyron
A remarquable concentration of palaeolithic sites can be found in the 20km of the Aveyron valley between
Saint-Antonin-Nobleval et Bruniquel. Among them three places have provided many pieces of mobiliar
art : a cave (Le Courbet) and two rock-shelters (Bruniquel-Montastruc et Fontalès).
A neat opposition seems to exist between gures from Fontalès et Bruniquel-Montastruc : themes, technics,
arrangments…Courbet appears closer to Fontalès than to Montastruc. Archaeological material conrms
these observations. These results raise the question of differents groupes of population in the three sites.

Aurignacian jewelry from the Lone Valley near Ulm
Aside from the well-known gurines made out of mammoth ivory, the excavations at the Vogelherd and
Hohlenstein-Stadel caves in the Lone Valley near Ulm (Baden-Wuerttemberg) delivered numerous unique
and extraordinary pieces of jewelry, also made out of mammoth ivory, that date to the Aurignacian period
ca. 35,000 years B.P. In addition, pendants from the neighboring Bockstein-Törle have also been assigned to
the Aurignacian period. Almost all known pieces of jewelry were carved out of mammoth ivory. The inven-
tories of the three caves are made up of their own unique jewelry ensemble that reects the different char-
acter of the different sites. These provide insight into the individual utilization of each of the caves in this
micro-region during the Aurignacian.

Upper paleolithic human activity in Kapova cave (The Southern Ural, Russia)
Cave paintings dated to upper paleolithic (mammoths, horses, rhinoceros, bison, zooanthropomorphus,
geometrical signs, indeterminate stains) have been opened in 1959 in Kapova cave (Southern Ural). The cave
was studied by O.N.Bader (1960-1978), V.E.Scelinsky (1982-1991) and T.I.Scerbakova (2004-2005). On
