“…Based on the frequent appearance in the typical Pleistocene assemblages the wolf is described as a member of the Late-Pleistocene Mammuthus-Coelodonta faunal complex and was possibly distributed in all parts of Europe during the Late-Pleistocene (Kahlke 1999). Numerous records of the wolf from the PleniGlacial are known from Spain (Altuna 1972), France (Altuna 1972;Bouchud and Bouchud 1953a), Ireland (Woodman et al 1997), Great Britain (Hedges et al 1996), Germany (Mu¨nzel et al 2001), Italy (Corridi 1990), Greece (Jullien 1981), Moldova (David 1999) and Ukraine (Benecke 1999b). In LateGlacial assemblages the wolf was recorded in numerous sub-fossil records, in addition to the previously mentioned countries in Belgium (Baales 1996), Switzerland (Stampfli 1983), southern Sweden (Liljegren 1975) and Romania (Bolomey 1973) (Fig.…”

In the sub-fossil assemblages of Europe the red fox is clearly the most frequent carnivorous mammalian species with a total of 1553 records. In depositions from the Weichselian Glacial the red fox Vulpes vulpes is, a typical representative of the Holocene fauna, already recorded in 100 assemblages. The Iberian peninsula, Italian peninsula and Balkans were theorised as glacial refugia. Well-founded facts give reason to believe that V. vulpes was also distributed in the Carpathian refuge. Later on, the Crimean peninsula would also appear to be a possible glacial refuge of the red fox. In the last warmer complex of interstadials during the Pleni-Glacial (Hengelo-Denekamp, 38,000-25,000 BC) the red fox was distributed in central Europe. Its distribution during this epoch extended at least in part to southern England. The earliest well-dated records of V. vulpes in central Europe after the Maximum Glaciation lie between 14,000 and 13,500 BC. Already during the early Late-Glacial (13,500 BC) the red fox appeared in typical glacial faunal communities. A separation to glacial refugia was only possible for 10,000 years. During the last warmer Pleni-Glacial complex of interstadials (38,000-25,000 BC) in central Europe a sympatric distribution of the arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) and the red fox probably existed. During the Last Glacial Maximum (22,000-18,000 BC) the arctic fox was exclusively distributed in central Europe, outside of the refuges. The combined distribution of A. lagopus and V. vulpes during the Late-Glacial (15,000-9500 BC) in central Europe, with the probable exception of the Allerød, is precisely documented by sub-fossil assemblages. In the Pleni-Glacial the wolf Canis lupus was distributed in geographic regions that served as glacial refugia of more warm-climate adapted species. Concerning the wolf no drastic decrease of the distribution is assumed. The Holocene presence of C. lupus is probably not caused by recolonisation.

“…In the case of zoomorphic motifs (17%), each species can be identified quite easily by means of its distinctive features: for example, thin legs and twocolored bushy tail for deer, open jaws of the fierce peccary, or webbed feet of the duck (Figure 8a). These animals lived in the site surroundings, a theme not limited to the Río Bec graffiti, but recurrently observed in other ancient societies as well (notable are the faunal renderings in the Lascaux caves, France [see Bouchud 1976]). Interestingly, in the specific case of the Río Bec corpus, the zoomorphic images were never associated with anthropomorphic With no contextual clues, it is difficult to understand the motivation behind the choice of such species: spontaneous inspiration of the moment, privilege reserved because of their important role in their staple diet, or fabulous creatures or embodied zoomorphic personages well known in myths, legends, or narratives.…”

Río Bec Graffiti: A Private Form of Art

This article focuses on graffiti recorded in the micro-region of Río Bec (a 10 × 10 km zone around Group B), an art form well-known but little studied to date. Incised in plastered supports (wall, benches, or doorjambs), graffiti is found on residences of all ranks. A meticulous recording method has enabled us to distinguish two classes: graffiti produced during a building's occupation and those executed postabandonment. The former were probably made by the residence dwellers themselves, children and adults. Their productions, which can be considered authentic artistic creations, reflected their unequal technical capacities, talents, ages, and inspirations. The subject matter was personal; remarkable individuals or animals, or outstanding collective events as memorialized by individuals. These graffiti emerge as the principal form of individual expression (retrieved by the archaeologist) from Río Bec society. Once the buildings were abandoned and full of rubble, new graffitists (occasional visitors or squatters) decorated the still accessible portions of plastered walls and notably illustrated some specific topics, such as female imagery and fabulous entities perhaps drawn during specific ceremonies. In the region as a whole, where glyphic inscriptions are scarce, graffiti provide a privileged emic source for the understanding of Río Bec society. These striking Maya productions are often mentioned, but less documented in terms of precise description and illustration in the literature (Mayer 2009). Indeed, even if graffiti are reported for numerous Maya cities and known by every scholar, they are generally considered of little interest at the moment of being reported, recorded, and illustrated in field reports. The Río Bec region provides a huge quantity of examples and information on graffiti. Since its discovery at the turn of the twentieth century, the first explorerers noted the presence of this form of expression. Along with architecture, iconography, and settlement patterns, these graffiti attracted the attention of archaeologists and iconographers

“…Quant à l'étude de la faune, il faut d'abord se reporter aux études anciennes et très succinctes. À Gargas 11 , les bovinés (bisons, aurochs) sont une fois et demi plus nombreux que les cervidés (cerf, renne), le Chamois étant la quatrième espèce chassée (Bouchud 1958 » (fig. 14).…”
