“…Although there are few high‐resolution investigations of surface modifications on ochre (but see Rosso et al, 2017), a quantitative cut mark analysis has a long history within faunal taphonomy (Binford, 1981; Lartet & Christy, 1875; Shipman, 1981). Particularly relevant for this study is the development of morphometrical analysis of cutmarks using high‐resolution 3D digital recording methods, including the application of 3D digital microscopes (Bello & Galway‐Witham, 2019; Bello & Soligo, 2008; Bello et al, 2011; Boschin & Crezzini, 2012; Braun et al, 2016; Wallduck & Bello, 2018), 3D laser scanning (Güth, 2012), micro‐CT scanning (Bello et al, 2013) and microphotogrammetry (González et al, 2015).…”

Hidden in plain sight: A microanalytical study of a Middle Stone Age ochre piece trapped inside a micromorphological block sample

A complete Middle Stone Age ochre piece was unintentionally collected and fully preserved within a micromorphological block sample intended to characterise a 74 ± 3 ka occupation horizon at Blombos Cave, South Africa. Previously recovered ochre pieces from the same stratigraphic context (Still Bay) have displayed intricate modification patterns with significant behavioural implications. Yet, in the case of the trapped ochre, a direct visual assessment of its surfaces was impossible due to its impregnated state. In this study, we demonstrate how we successfully reconstructed three‐dimensionally and characterised the block‐sampled ochre piece using high‐resolution microcomputed tomography scanning coupled with a range of microanalytical techniques, including optical petrography, micro‐Fourier transform infra‐red spectroscopy, micro‐X‐ray fluorescence and micro‐Raman spectroscopy. Through a morphometric analysis of the score marks present on the trapped ochre's reconstructed surface, we were able to assess the types of modifications and the nature of the actions that created them. Our results show that a block sample‐based study of archaeological artefacts allows for a comprehensive assessment of their depositional and microcontextual setting, their external morphology and microtopography, as well as their internal texture and geochemical properties. We suggest that this type of context‐sensitive, multiscalar and multidisciplinary investigation may also prove beneficial in the study of conventionally recovered archaeological artefacts.

“…Dès le printemps 1868, la grotte de Cro-Magnon apparaît dans des articles de revues scientifiques [1][2][3][4][5][6] puis dans des ouvrages [7][8]. Si une dizaine d'articles est parue en quelques semaines sur la découverte et le site 3 , les illustrations des ossements et en particulier des crânes sont rares.…”

“…Edouard Lartet and Henry Christywho were from the point of view of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic archaeology the right people, whose interaction with Lubbock is discussed below-viewed it as 'highly interesting and instructive'. 32 Looking back from 1914, Lubbock's first biographer, Horace Hutchinson, noted that reviews of Pre-historic Times had been 'very favourable . .…”

John Lubbock's Pre-Historic Times (1865) was the first publication to use the terms 'Palaeolithic' and 'Neolithic' to define major periods of early prehistory. Because of this he has come to be seen as one of the most influential figures in the history of prehistoric archaeology. We examine this image here, in terms of his influence on contemporaries both in Britain and in France, where early excavations were providing materials that came to form the basic periodization of the Palaeolithic that is still in use today. We show how Lubbock contributed to this emergence of a professional Palaeolithic archaeology, and what he did and did not achieve in the critical decades of the 1850s and 1860s before his interests moved elsewhere.
