“…As detailed in a recent paper on the spatial analysis of the lithic assemblages of the site (Guillemot et al, 2023), level 4.1 displays several main activity areas surrounded by peripheral areas (Fig. 9).…”

“…The Raw Material Units (RMUs) incorporate the lithic material from a knapping event, or a series of knapping events resulting from the reduction of a specific nodule (Cziesla, 1990;Vaquero, 2008;Bargalló et al, 2020;Moncel et al, 2014Moncel et al, , 2021Guillemot et al, 2023). It is thus possible to differentiate pieces brought to the site already knapped from those resulting from in situ knapping events.…”

“…RMUs do not display any distinctive spatial patterns; density and distribution are consistent with the patterns observed in the spatial kernel analysis of archaeological assemblages. Furthermore, RMUs and refits in both levels are situated in the primary domestic activity areas identified by statistical spatial pattern analysis (Moncel et al 2021, Guillemot et al 2023.…”

New excavations at the Abri du Maras have revealed a thick sequence over 250 ka old with evidence of recurrent human occupations, first in a vast cavity, then in a collapsed shelter. The upper part, with a high density of material, is dated to MIS 3 with two distinct phases of occupation under a shelter. The lithic component is composed mainly of flint cores, flakes and flake-tools, associated with local material in quartz, quartzite and basalt. Lithic refits and the faunal corpus indicate short-term occupations under a largely collapsed shelter. The comparison of the two occupation phases indicates common features in term of core technologies, with partial reduction sequences and a tool kit composed of large products brought to the site from a 30 km perimeter. Slight differences emerge from a statistic viewpoint, but also in terms of site activities, raw material collection and the spatial distribution of activities and material in the shelter. These include: (1) the predominance of reindeer in level 4.1 whereas there is a more diversified corpus of hunted herbivores in level 4.2, (2) the spatial distribution of the material indicates that the shelter was used in different ways, (3) the ratio of the use of Levallois core technology, of elongated products and flake-tools differs between the two levels, as does the average size of flint products. Finally, we discuss possible biases in order to define the actual status of the site.

“…Three ways can be adopted to convert and integrate data from GIS to BIM and from BIM and GIS to a third system (Xu et al, 2020;Zhu et al, 2022). Nevertheless, using free and open-source GIS tools together with 2D and 3D tools that integrate effectively will assist in getting a high-resolution spatial analysis (Guillemot et al, 2023).…”

Geospatial technique, 3D modelling, Smart city.Developing smart city planning requires integrating various techniques, including geospatial techniques, building information models (BIM), information and communication technology (ICT), and artificial intelligence, for instance, threedimensional (3D) building models, in enabling smart city applications. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the role and significance of geospatial techniques in smart city planning and implementation. The literature review encompasses (74) studies from diverse databases, examining relevant solutions and prototypes related to smart city planning. The focus highlights the requirements and preparation of geospatial techniques to support the transition to a smart city. The paper explores various aspects, such as the advantages and challenges of geospatial techniques, data collection and analysis methodologies, and case studies showcasing successful implementations of smart city initiatives. The research concludes that geospatial techniques are instrumental in driving the development of smart cities. By analyzing and synthesizing the outcomes of the reviewed articles, this study establishes the essential contribution of geospatial techniques in successfully realizing the vision of smart cities.
