A typo-technological analysis of the lithic material yielded by the excavations of F. Hole and N. Flannery at Yafteh Cave (Khorramabad, Zagros, Iran) leads to a new discussion of the definition of the Baradostian and its relation to contemporary industries in south-west Eurasia. Despite very early dates, these assemblages show no technical proximity with the local Middle Paleolithic. The debitage, made with an organic soft hammer, is exclusively oriented toward blade and bladelet production. Based essentially on the bladelet productions, it is possible to distinguish two main assemblages clearly organized in a single archeo-sequence. − The upper layers contain small twisted bladelets with alternate retouch (Dufour bladelets, Roc-de-Combe sub-type), mostly produced from lateral carinated burins. − The base of the sequence contains long bladelets with a curved or rectilinear profil. Most have direct bilateral retouch, convergent (Arjeneh Points), or not ("rods"), but there a...

Fouillé par Jean Guichard en 1968 et 1969, le site de plein air de Canaule II (Creysse, Dordogne) présente un unique niveau archéologique attribué au Châtelperronien par la présence de pièces à dos caractéristiques. Ce gisement fut interprété comme étant un atelier de débitage, directement implanté sur les gîtes de silex maestrichtien du Bergeracois. Nous le présentons ici à travers l'approche taphonomique, techno-économique et spatiale de cinq remontages lithiques. Cette étude montre l'exceptionnelle conservation du site et explore le potentiel qu'il révèle pour la définition du Châtelperronien et la caractérisation des comportements humains au début du Paléolithique supérieur.

Mellars and Gravina's reply is little more than a personal attack that reaches paroxysm in its challenging of our professional integrity and scholarly credentials. We believe that such diatribes should have no place in scientific journals. Because our main concern is with the clarification of the real issues at stake in the Grotte des Fées debate, we nevertheless respond, but only to the points of empirical or methodological substance.

After the demonstration that no Châtelperronian/Aurignacian interstratifications existed at Roc-de-Combe, Le Piage, and El Pendo, the Grotte des Fées remained the single instance conceivably documenting the putative longterm regional contemporaneity of the two technocomplexes which is required by the “acculturation” and “imitation” models of the innovations (ornaments, decorated bone tools) that characterize the Châtelperronian. Based on our own inspection and study of the lithic and faunal collections and of the site itself, on ...
