Environment and subsistence in the Upper Pleistocene of eastern France and Luxembourg: osteological study of the deposits of La Baume de Gigny (Jura), Vergisson II (Saône-et-Loire) and Oetrange (Luxembourg) ; Environnement et subsistance au Pléistocène supérieur dans l'est de la France et au Luxembourg : étude ostéologique des gisements de la Baume de Gigny (Jura), Vergisson II (Saône-et-Loire) et Oetrange (Luxembourg)

Subsistence strategies are close related to palaeoenvironment. Climate influences the settlement pattern of the human groups and their subsistence. This work is a multidisciplinary approach. Different methods are used to make reconstitutions of past climate and past environment. At this data, we have integrated a zooarchaelogy study in order to understand how climate influence the subsistence. La Baume de Gigny is a well stratified sequence from 140 ka B.P. to 32 ka B.P. Climate parameters have been estimated with the oxygen isotope from the phosphate tooth enamel of large mammals (Horse, Red... Mehr ...
