“…Thus, the presence of foetus bones can correspond to hunts between December and May, winter and spring: without measurements, the seasonal information accessible to zooarchaeologists is broad and imprecise (e.g. Castel, 1999;Bemilli & Bayle, 2009;Connet et al, 2012;Pétillon et al, 2015;Castel et al, 2017;Dachary et al, 2020) and impedes discussion about hunting strategies and techniques. Indeed, during this period of time, the sanitary condition of the reindeer undergoes major changes (e.g.…”

When foetal bones are preserved in archaeological sites, they are often used to identify the seasonality of prey acquisition by past human populations and, subsequently, to discuss their lifestyle, their management of food resources, nomadic cycles, etc. To do so, zooarchaeologists use charts to estimate foetal age based on the growth of their bones. For reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), a species that was widely exploited since the Palaeolithic throughout Eurasia, existing reference data are limited and require the measurement of complete bones, a procedure that is rarely applicable to archaeological contexts in which bones are often fragmented. In this study we present a wide range of measurements (9-10 measurements per bone) taken on the humerus, radius, metacarpal, femur, tibia and metatarsal of 31 individuals housed at the Zoological Museum of the University of Oulu (Finland). With this large data set, a more accurate estimation of the time of death of reindeer foetus can be achieved using skeletal measurements, even in the case of fragmented bones. To facilitate the use of this referential, an open-access web interface (foetusmeteR) was designed in RShiny. This interface allows for the direct estimation of foetal age and season of death by entering a single skeletal measurement, as well as the possibility of estimating if two bones might correspond to the same individual using two different measurements. This new tool should help to discuss in more detail the condition of reindeer herds hunted in the past, the hunting techniques and strategies that may have been used by human groups, and allow for a more detailed reconstruction of the seasonal nomadic cycle of past societies that focused their subsistence onRangiferpopulations.

“…Por último, cabe destacar el protagonismo de estas explotaciones sobre lasca, tipo núcleo-raspador, en el Sauveterriense del norte de los Pirineos. Esta modalidad de talla que permite obtener laminitas cortas sin apenas acondicionamiento es ampliamente reconocida en los principales yacimientos de la época como Rouffignac, Fontfaurès (Davide 2018), o Poeymaü, pero también en secuencias más modestas, que responden a ocupaciones puntuales, como Bourrouilla (Dachary et al 2013). Como en el caso andorrano, dada la proximidad de Peña-14 a uno de los principales corredores de paso naturales de los Pirineos (valles del Gállego y Ossau), no son descartables las relaciones e influencias transpirenaicas.…”

Presentamos los resultados del estudio de la industria lítica del nivel d del abrigo de Peña-14 (Biel, Zaragoza). El análisis tecnológico y de materias primas efectuado permite una reconstrucción completa del sistema de producción lítica. Los resultados remiten a dinámicas tecnológicas propias del Epipaleolítico (aprovisionamiento local, simplificación tecnológica, predominancia del utillaje microlaminar…), adscribiéndose más concretamente al Sauveterriense. En este sentido, el presente trabajo ofrece nuevos datos sobre el desarrollo de este complejo en el noreste de la península ibérica, planteando nuevas cuestiones sobre su enmarque cronológico, características industriales, y su vinculación con las tradiciones previas y vecinas.

“…Bien que le remplissage connaisse des variations latérales, la stratigraphie est identique dans le vestibule et la zone extérieure (Dachary 2005) : sous des niveaux d'occupations holocènes -Age du Fer, Néolithique et Mésolithique (Dachary et al 2013) -se trouvent les niveaux pléistocènes. L'ensemble A, attribuable au Magdalénien terminal, correspond aux dernières installations au cours du Tardiglaciaire, peu documentées dans le secteur (Dachary et al 2008 et sous presse).…”
