“…Rochereil appears typically consistent in the ornament types favored, featuring a shell assemblage that is at once diverse, but also highly coherent with shell assemblages recovered from other Magdalenian sites in Aquitaine and to a lesser extent the Pyrenees and Vasco-Cantabria (e.g. Ladier & Welté, 1993;Taborin, 1993Taborin, , 2007Ladier et al, 1994;Alix, 2003;Álvarez Fernández, 2006). What makes the Rochereil assemblage particularly noteworthy is the sheer number of unmodified specimens, which suggests the existence of an accumulation phase in the procurement chain, with the perforation and modification of the objects occurring at a later point in the sequence.…”

Personal ornaments manufactured on marine and fossil shell are a significant element of Upper Palaeolithic symbolic material culture, and are often found at considerable distances from Pleistocene coastlines or relevant fossil deposits. Here, we report on a significant collection of shell objects (n=377) from the Upper Magdalenian site of Rochereil (Dordogne, France). Despite the location of the site at more than 200km from the Pleistocene coast, the majority of the shells recovered here are unmodified, suggesting that transport and accumulation of shell raw material was an important component in the production of symbolic technologies some 16 15,000 years ago. A detailed comparative and microscopic reanalysis of this assemblage explores which species were selected, examines technological and taphonomic modification of the material, and compares this collection with the use of similar shell ornaments in the wider Magdalenian world.

“…Dans plusieurs gisements attribués au début du Magdalénien moyen, les incisives de renne sciées sont aménagées d'une perforation. C'est le cas dans l'ensemble supérieur de SG (Vanhaeren et d'Errico, 2003) et également, à une échelle extra-régionale, aux Peyrugues (Rodière, 1996) ou encore à Lafaye et Plantade (Ladier et Welté, 1993 ;Ladier et al, 1994). Les exemplaires du Roc de Marcamps se distinguent des autres gisements du Sud-Ouest français par l'installa-tion de sillons plutôt que d'une perforation, particularité que l'on retrouve également à l'abri Vidon (Campmas et al, 2011) et à La Garenne (Peschaux, en cours).…”

“…Foxes are also well-represented in Magdalenian ornament assemblages from Germany and France with 41 perforated teeth from Petersfels [95][96][97] and 45 from Gönnersdorf in Germany [31,121,122] as well as at least 35 from the Magdalenian layers of Isturitz [85] and La Vache [123], 12 from La Madeleine [124], and 13 from Bruniquel [125,126] in France. Although canines were the preferred tooth type, Petersfels also exhibits several incisors and premolars.…”

Personal ornaments play an important role in our understanding of human cultural and behavioral change during the Upper Paleolithic, providing insights into intangible aspects of human cultural behavior. Some ornament forms are better studied than others, and fox tooth ornaments, despite their frequent occurrence and broad spatiotemporal span, are relatively under-addressed. Here we present the first comprehensive study of 40 perforated fox teeth recovered from four cave sites in southwestern Germany. This region’s rich record of symbolic representations, as well as evidence of long-standing human–fox relationships, make the Swabian Jura an ideal case study for investigations of fox tooth ornaments. By applying a holistic approach, including geometric morphometrics and traceology coupled with experimental archaeology, we show that fox teeth were mostly perforated by bifacial scraping and grooving and were worn as ornaments. We discuss the role of foxes within human socio-symbolic and paleoenvironmental systems during the Upper Paleolithic of the Swabian Jura, and we contextualize our results within the broader context of sites across Europe during the Upper Paleolithic. The data we provide are in line with general trends observed across the continent and offer insight into the role of foxes during the Upper Paleolithic, especially regarding human subsistence, cultural expression, and ornament production.
