Mésolithique récent, Mésolithique final, Néolithique ancien dans le quart nord-est de la France : pour une réinterprétation des données

Abstract

Via arrowheads or spearheads and accepting that with their strong cultural character they are identity markers in Prehistory, the various recent and final mesolithic groups are presented, covering north-eastern France and neighbouring areas. Possible links are examined between advanced mesolithic heads and Rubané heads, originating particularly from Cuiry-les-Chaudardes and Trosly-Breuil. Subsidiary aspects are examined in relation with other sites in Lorraine, Alsace and north Jura.

Microliths and maritime mobility: a continental European-style Late Mesolithic flint assemblage from the Isles of Scilly

“…By far the closest parallels for those from Old Quay are found north of the River Seine in France, Belgium and the Netherlands (Thevenin 1995; Emmanuel Ghesquière pers. comm .…”

Latéralisation des armatures rubanées : apport des données récentes de la Moselle dans le contexte du Rubané du Nord-Ouest

“…Nonobstant ces considérations, il est généralement admis qu'une continuité morphologique existe entre les séries d'armatures du Mésolithique récent/final et celles du Néolithique ancien dans les régions mosellanes (Löhr, 1994 ;Spier, 1995 ;Thévenin, 1995). Que l'impact en soit plus ou moins important, une tradition mésolithique est désormais dénoncée de façon récurrente en plusieurs points d'Europe occidentale et même centrale (par ex.…”

Arrowhead Lateralization: Recent Data from the Mosel Region in the Context of the North-West Linear Pottery Culture

“…As in many cases, this observation is based on assemblages from surface collections and must be considered with caution given the known difficulty of typologically attributing certain arrowhead categories to the Late/Final Mesolithic rather than the Neolithic . Despite these considerations, a morphological continuity between Late/Final Mesolithic and Early Neolithic arrowhead assemblages in the Mosel region is generally recognized (Löhr, 1994;Spier, 1995;Thévenin, 1995).…”
