International audienceTrained in ethnoarchaeology in New Guinea, the authors offer an original reading of the historical trajectory of the first farming communities between 5300 and 2400 BC, where the micro-regions – here the Jura and the Saône plains – were deeply integrated into complex networks for the circulation of sign objects and ideas. On the scale of Western Europe, these long-distance transfers were supported by social competition, the display of inequalities and the religious imagination.100 key words from the archaeological vocabulary allow us to explore different social interpretations hidden behind the objects and behaviours of Neolithic populations.Formés à l’ethnoarchéologie en Nouvelle-Guinée, les auteurs proposent une lecture originale de la trajectoire historique des premières communautés d’agriculteurs entre 5300 et 2400 av. J.-C., où les microrégions – ici le Jura et les plaines de Saône – étaient profondément intégrées à des réseaux complexes de circulation d’objets-signes et d’idées. À l’échelle de l’Europe occidentale, ces transferts à longue distance étaient soutenus par la compétition sociale, l’affichage des inégalités et l’imaginaire religieux.Cent mots-clés du vocabulaire archéologique permettent d’explorer différentes interprétations sociales cachées derrière les objets et les comportements des populations néolithiques

Clairvaux constitue une nouvelle reference pour le Neolithique au nord-ouest des Alpes, en raison d’une extraordinaire conservation des vestiges dates de la premiere moitie du IVe millenaire av. J.-C. La comparaison des ceramiques de Clairvaux avec celles des regions voisines montre ainsi – dans un systeme d’agriculture itinerante – la complexite des relations d’echange avec le Cortaillod classique, le Neolithique moyen II de Bourgogne et le Munzingen. Ces donnees remettent en cause le concept de « Neolithique Moyen Bourguignon », une construction theorique des annees 1980 qui regroupait des traditions ceramiques dont les origines et les trajectoires historiques s’averent aujourd’hui inconciliables.

A partir de la fouille d'un abri-sous-roche occupe du Mesolithique a l'Age du Bronze, on a cherche a cerner les modes d'exploitation des plateaux du Haut Doubs. Ces zones encore tres boisees pendant le Neolithique, ont constitue des territoires de chasse qui permettaient d'alimenter en produits bruts (viande et poissons seches, peaux, fourrures, futs osseux pour les outillages...) les communautees agricoles permanentes de basse altitude. Apres une premiere periode de neolithisation primaire, ces territoires semblent avoir ensuite ete revendiques par des groupes culturels differents, vers la fin du V° millenaire avant JC. On pourrait donc reconnaitre une complementarite economique et politique entre la vallee du Dessoubre et la region de Montbeliard d'une part, entre la haute vallee du Doubs et les lacs suisses d'autre part

The prehistoric lake dwellings of Switzerland, Germany, and Austria have been known for more than 150 years. Of these, 111 were awarded UNESCO World Cultural Heritage status in 2011. Mainly dating from the Neolithic (including the Chalcolithic or Copper Age) and the Bronze Age, lacustrine settlements represent an early phase of sedentarisation in the northern foothills of the Alps. Despite much significant research on the material culture, settlement dynamics, economy, and ecology, the focus has hitherto almost exclusively been on the classic sites situated on the larger northern pre-Alpine lakes in the so-called Three Lakes region of western Switzerland and on the Lakes of Geneva, Zurich, and Constance. The international and interdisciplinary research project ’Beyond lake villages: studying Neolithic environmental changes and human impact on small lakes in Switzerland, Germany and Austria’ was launched in 2015 and is jointly funded by the Swiss (SNF), German (DFG), and Austrian (FWF) National Science Foundations. Research teams in prehistoric archaeology and palaeoecology from the universities of Bern, Basel, Vienna, and Innsbruck as well as the cultural heritage management authorities of the German State of Baden-Wurttemberg and the Swiss Cantons of Bern and Solothurn are concentrating their efforts on three Neolithic settlement areas on the Swiss Plateau, the German Westallgau, and the Austrian Salzkammergut. Research is focused on small, deep lakes and their immediate surroundings, with the aim of obtaining new highresolution data on the natural environment and human impact on the landscape. Our ongoing palaeoecological investigations have confirmed that small, deep lakes such as Burgaschisee and Moossee in Switzerland preserve laminated annual sediments that have enormous potential for generating high-resolution, diachronic data on vegetation, palaeoclimate, and human impact. Through the integration of wetland archaeology and palaeoecology, we hope to generate new data and models that will help to understand the variability of human impact on landscapes, especially the environmental interactions of Neolithic societies in the circum-Alpine region. The overall aim of the project is to gain a better understanding of large-scale processes of adaptation and anthropogenic impact over time.

National audienceA fragmented rough-out of aring-disc, a classical model in the Neolithic of the Centre-West of France, was discoveredthrough surface survey at Taizé-Maulais(Deux-Sèvres). Looking for macroscopicmineralogical characteristics leads us todetermine the rock as a pargasite-zoïsiteamphibolite, originating from the outcrops of the Sarrazac massif (Dordogne), nearly 190 kmto the southeast as the crow flies.However, so far, all the rough-outs of thiswell-known type of ring-disc have beenidentified in the producing villages of theupper Dronne valley, at about thirty kilometresfrom the Sarrazac massif. The authors questionthe reasons for the medium-distance transfer of such a rough-out among populations thatprobably did not have the know-how tocomplete the manufacture of a polished discring.Un fragment d’ébauche d’unanneau-disque, d’un modèle classique dans leNéolithique du Centre-Ouest de la France, aété découvert en prospection de surface àTaizé-Maulais (Deux-Sèvres). L'observationde caractères minéralogiques macroscopiquesnous conduit à déterminer la roche comme uneamphibolite à pargasite-zoïsite tirée desaffleurements du massif de Sarrazac(Dordogne), à près de 190 km à vol d’oiseauvers le sud-est. Or, jusqu’ici, toutes les ébauches de cetype d’anneau bien connu ont été récoltées surles sites producteurs, dans la haute vallée de laDronne, à une trentaine de kilomètres dumassif de Sarrazac. Les auteurs s’interrogentsur les raisons du transfert à moyenne distanced’une telle ébauche d’anneau, parmi despopulations qui ne possédaient probablementpas le savoir-faire pour mener à terme lafabrication d’un anneau-disque poli

During the 5th millennium BC, the gulf of Morbihan played a major role in the circulation of socially-valued goods, especially those made from Alpine jades (jadeitite, omphacitite, eclogite, some serpentinites and, more rarely, nephrite), in the form of disc-rings and polished axeheads. This contribution begins with a review of the findspot contexts of these exotic objects which had circulated over hundreds of kilometers before being deposited and consecrated. It then uses a cartographic approach to demonstrate the role played by the Morbihan area in the processes of attracting, transforming and (in some cases) rejecting these precious social signifiers. In following the circulation routes of Alpine axeheads and rings, taking into account their typology and chronology, one can identify connections between Morbihan and the western Iberian Peninsula, where objects made from variscite were also involved in impressive long-distance exchanges, while the presence of 'Carnac-type' polished axeheads illustrates the diffusion of new forms of mythology that had originated in Morbihan. Finally, we shall consider jewellery made from Alpine paragonite (which visually resembles variscite) which appears not to have reached as far as Morbinhan, even though beads and pendants made from Iberian variscite were accumulated and hoarded in that region, some of them travelling onwards towards the Alps, along the routes that had veen taken by the Alpine axeheads.

Investigating pottery function requires optimal preservation of both ceramic vessels and organic residues related to vessel use. If these criteria are met then opportunities emerge for combining macroscopic observations, typological classification, and capacity measurements and molecular and isotopic proxies (GC, GC-MS, and GC-C-IRMS) to explore vessel use and resource exploitation. The exceptional ceramic assemblage of hundreds of vessels excavated from the Middle Neolithic site of Clairvaux XIV (Jura, France, IVth millennium B.C.) offered such an opportunity, with a wide diversity of vessel shapes and extraordinary preservation of lipids. Interrogating the lipid residues together with typological analyses revealed a complex system of ceramic vessel use. Despite the scarcity of aquatic products, a wide diversity of natural substances has been detected: ruminant adipose fats, dairy products, plant substances, and beeswax. These commodities were processed in specific vessels with thr...
