Ages et modalités des incursions humaines et animales préhistoriques dans la grotte d'Aldène (Hérault, France)

Abstract: A la suite des travaux établissant l'âge mésolithique des empreintes de pas humains de l'étage Cathala de la grotte d'Aldène et l'antériorité des fréquentations animales (ours, hyènes) dans ces mêmes galeries [Ambert et al., 2000], les recherches se sont plus spécialement portées sur l'étude sédimentologique et géochronologique (essentiellement par datations isotopiques Uranium/Thorium des concrétions) des remplissages de la cavité. Elles ont notamment précisé l'âge des dernières incursions animales du second … Show more

“…This gallery, which extends over almost 700 m, originated from the outside with an entrance that has now collapsed. The study of this passage, the only one that allowed access for animals and humans in this part of the network during prehistoric times, showed a slow evolution, to such an extent that when humans used it, the passage was lowered several tens of metres long before giving access to a large chamber extended by a vast and long gallery (Guendon et al 2004). Inside, the traces of lighting on the floors and walls show that the gallery has been visited by humans for more than 500 m. Our work made it possible to characterize the lighting system used (Fig.…”
