Ce colloque permet aux chercheurs d'échanger régulièrement des informations sur l'avancement des recherches dans leur domaine et sur toutes les dernières découvertes sur le terrain, puis de discuter des sujets définis dans le cadre des ateliers thématiques. PRESIDENCE: Christian ROBIN (Membre de l'Institut, Directeur de recherche au CNRS, directeur de l'équipe UMR 8167 - Orient et Méditerranée, domaine de recherche : histoire et épigraphie sud-arabique). ORGANISATION SCIENTIFIQUE: Iwona GAJDA (Chargée de recherche au CNRS, Laboratoire des Etudes sémitiques anciennes, UMR 8167); François BRON (Directeur d'études à l'EPHE, IVe section); Guillaume CHARLOUX (Ingénieur de recherche au CNRS, UMR 8167); Jérémie SCHIETTECATTE (Post-doctorant au CNRS)

In this area of the Stavropol Uplift, the Tomu� zlovka River valley is characterized by a boxshaped transverse profile with steep (average angle of 8°-10°) straight or stepped walls crossed by dry ravines forming complex dentritic systems. The valley bottom is wide (>4 km) and slightly convex in the axial part. The presentday channel is meandering, 2.0-2.5 m wide, and up to 1 m deep being displaced toward the right side. The walls are composed of sandy loam and sandy sediments variably cemented by travertine material and with thin intercalations of pebble-gravel material. These sediments are overlain by loesslike loams with an apparent thickness of approximately 2 m. The alti� tude of the presentday brink of the Tomuzlovka River is 230 m, and the altitudes of watershed areas on the right side amount to 340-380 m. The exploration ditch in the area with geographic coordinates of 44°46'14.4'' N and 43°09'52.6'' E at 66 m above the presentday brink (altitude of 296 m) recovered the following sedimentary succession (from the top downward). Bed 1 is represented by humic Chernozem soil composed of loesslike finely porous fissured loams with a columnar-prismatic texture and low admixture of regularly distributed gravel and small pebbles. The lower boundary is vague being marked by a coloration transition toward lighter underlying sediments. The thickness is 0.3-0.4 m. Bed 2 is composed of dark gray lightweight loess� like finely porous fissured loams with chaotically scat� tered gravel inclusions. The texture is columnar-pris� matic grading in the lower part to clotty. The sedi� ments contain newly formed carbonate structures in the form of slightly developed pseudomycelium, whit� ish faded spots, and carbonate crusts. The lower boundary is vague, wavy, and marked by color changes. The thickness is 0.7 m. Bed 3 consists of light brown lightweight loesslike loams with the ocherous-yellow tint, porous, finely fissured, enriched in gravel and smallpebble material. The texture is clotty in the uppermost part of the bed, prismatic in the middle, and lumpy at the base. The sediments enclose abundant newly formed carbonate structures in the form of pseudomicellium and floury whitish concretions. A distinct even lower boundary is drawn at the top of underlying sandy sediments. The thickness is 0.25-0.75 m.

Recent research extends these technologies to Russia and Germany, and amplifies information on perishable fibre artefacts from France. Collectively, these data illustrate the ubiquity of perishable technologies across the late Pleistocene world.

Il s’agit d’une figurine de bison en ivoire de Mammouth, un véritable «chef d’oeuvre » de sculpture paléolithique daté aux alentours de 22000 BP. Au regard d’autres exemples d’objets d’art mobilier bien connus d’Europe centrale et orientale, cet artefact est non seulement l’une des plus anciennes preuves d’expression artistique d’inspiration naturaliste, mais aussi le témoignage d’un haut niveau de maîtrise technique dans le travail des matières dures animales. Cette statuette, par ailleurs partiellement ocrée, est aussi remarquable du fait de ses dimensions et de certaines de ses caractéristiques stylistiques. En outre, elle provient d’un contexte stratigraphique particulier (une fosse creusée dont le fond a été aménagé en vue de son dépôt). Ce contexte ainsi que plusieurs autres détails évoqués permettent de proposer l’hypothèse que ...

This study examines blanks found at sites of the Ainikab-Mukhkay group, such as Ainikab-1, and Mukhkay-1, -2, and -2a. Occurrences of large flake blanks (>10 cm) at the Oldowan and the Oldowan to Acheulean transitional stage are provided. Such blanks appear at the beginning of the Jaramillo paleomagnetic episode (~1.07 Ma BP). By the end of the Early Pleistocene, their share attains 25.77 % of the total number of blanks for morphologically distinct tools. They are absent in Oldowan deposits (~2 Ma BP). The totality of statistical data justifies the separation of the transitional Oldowan to Acheulean stage in the region, dating to 1.0–0.8 Ma BP.

In the main excavation area (area 4) 225 m of culture deposits have been uncovered so far; altogether a little over 350 m have been studied by excavation. The investigated part of the camp at the level of the lowest culture deposits is part of an extensive residential-economic site with hearths, pits of various functional designation (storage pits, hoarding pits, hearth pits, refuse pits), and semidugouts. The objects discovered in the layers of the site constitute a distinct planned structure clearly recognizable from the Kostenki site (Kostenki 1; layer 1). It has become the classical model for artifacts of the culture of the same name (Figure 1). Relying on the data obtained from the plot already investigated and reconstructing the residential-
