自18世纪以来,雅克·鲍彻·德·珀斯(Jacques Boucher de Perthes)和约瑟夫·普雷斯维奇(Joseph Preswitch)在1840年至1860年间进行了探索,阿贝维尔的门切考特遗址在19世纪对人类和灭绝动物物种共存的认识方面发挥了重要作用,这是史前科学的基础。由于19世纪末和20世纪城市化,该地区长期无法进入,2014年,INRAP在历史遗址附近的一块土地上进行了预防性考古行动。发现的地层序列基于白垩基底,海拔+2-3 m NGF,即相对于当前谷底下最大切口的相对海拔+14/15 m。它包括一系列河流和(或)海洋河流水位,由浅水覆盖序列(黄土和古溶胶)覆盖,与19世纪观察到的非常相似。尽管G.d'Ault du Mesnil在19世纪末定义的“Menchecourian”层流工业的承载层尚未恢复,但在阶地的冰川间河流沉积物顶部和覆盖阶地的冰川淤泥序列中,发现了与中下古石器时代相关的几个考古和古生物层。现有的古生物学和地质年代学数据有助于定位海洋同位素阶段(SIM)8和6中序列的建立,并证实了未来组织对这一主要阿贝维尔史前遗址进行更深入研究的兴趣。

Le front de taille d’une carriere a Courville-sur-Eure (Eure-et-Loir, France) a revele une importante epaisseur de limons colmatant un paleovallon creuse dans le substrat tertiaire en rive gauche de l’Eure.

Les resultats des datations montrent que le comblement s’etend de la seconde partie du Pleistocene moyen, aux environs de 290 ka, jusqu’a l’Holocene. Les etudes micromorphologiques et granulometriques concernent la periode comprise entre le dernier interglaciaire eemien et le Pleniglaciaire weichselien moyen. Elles montrent l’existence de sols polyphases cumuliques, alimentes regulierement par des petits apports lateraux. Regionalement, il s’agit de la troisieme sequence stratigraphique pleistocene a beneficier d’une campagne de datations numeriques, apres celle de Bonneval (Sun et al., 2010 ; Despriee et al., 2018) et celle d’Illiers-Combray (Borderie et al., 2019). Outre l’aspect purement chronostratigraphique, ces resultats sont importants pour la recherche archeologique en contexte preventif car ils assurent l’existence d’un fort potentiel de conservation des sites paleolithiques.
Eure河畔Courville(法国Eure et Loir)采石场的采石场前部显示,大量淤泥堵塞了Eure河左岸第三纪基底中的中空古卵形。pedo沉积物单元的宏观特征表明在更新世建立。在中部地区北部高原环境中,对此类累积的观察很少,因此进行了一系列研究,以尽可能最好地记录这些沉积物。因此,在整个序列中采集了六个用于发光定年的样品,而在其中心部分采集了用于粒度、化学和微观形态分析的样品。年代测定结果表明,填充物从中更新世后半部分(约290ka)延伸至全新世。微观形态学和粒度学研究涉及最后一个Eemian间冰期和中Weichselian复冰期之间的时期。它们表明存在累积多相土壤,定期由少量横向输入供给。在区域上,这是继Bonneval(Sun等人,2010年;Despriee等人,2018年)和Illiers-Combray(Borderie等人,2019年)之后,从数字测年活动中受益的第三个更新世地层序列。除了纯粹的时间地层学方面,这些结果对于预防背景下的考古学研究非常重要,因为它们确保了古石器遗址的强大保护潜力。

Le site prehistorique de La Roche-Cotard (LRC) se trouve sur le versant de rive droite de la vallee de la Loire, un peu en amont de Langeais, en Indre-et-Loire. Le site a ete rendu accessible grâce a un important prelevement de materiaux en 1846. La grotte principale (LRC I) a ete fouillee en 1912 : elle contenait une industrie du Paleolithique moyen et des traces digitaux y ont ete decouverts en 1975 et valides en 2008. La reprise des fouilles sur le site a partir de 2008 (locus LRC IV tres proche de LRC I) a permis de mettre en evidence une coupe puissante de 11 metres comprenant 22 couches distinctes dont la partie inferieure comble un abri. La stratigraphie combine, de bas en haut, des apports karstiques de milieu souterrain, des sables fluviatiles et eoliens issus de la vallee de la Loire et gravitaires du versant. Des indices d’occupation anthropique (industrie lithique, os brules) attestent une occupation de cet espace. Les nombreuses datations des couches par radiocarbone et par OSL permettent de situer chronologiquement ce remplissage entre la limite des stades isotopiques marins 7 et 6 (couche 22 ‑ 169 ka) et la limite des stades 3 et 2 (couche 2 - 25 ka). Le locus a donne lieu a une etude pluridisciplinaire aussi complete que possible (sedimentologie et micromorphologie, faunes de petits et grands vertebres, industrie lithique). Ces donnees apportent des precisions nouvelles sur l’evolution paleoenvironnementale de la region, mal connue dans cette fourchette de temps. La geometrie et l’âge des depots conduisent a l’hypothese selon laquelle la grotte (LRC I) a ete impenetrable par Homo sapiens au moins a partir du debut du stade isotopique marin 3 (60 ka) et donc que les productions parietales a caractere symbolique de la grotte sont tres probablement a attribuer a l’homme de Neandertal.

Located at the mouth of the Gironde estuary (southwestern Atlantic coast of France), the Amelie beach was strongly eroded during the recent stormy events, especially in the winter of 2013-2014. The escarpment at the dune front and the truncation of the beach uncovered a set of estuarine and aeolian sediment deposits containing numerous archaeological remains. A campaign of topographic surveys was undertaken with DGPS and TLS materials during the springs of 2014 and 2015 along the 2 km length of the Amelie beach in order to reconstruct the elevation and stratigraphy of these deposits. Sedimentological analyses (grain size, micro-faunal) were performed to better constrain the depositional environment. Archaeological remains and several radiocarbon dates obtained from sediment samples collected in the field were used to propose a consistent chronological framework for this sedimentary sequence. Ten main lithofacies were distinguished from the lower part of the beach to the top of the dune. The base of the sedimentary sequence is composed to of Pleistocene deposits dating from MIS9 (unit 1a) to MIS2 (Unit 1b) (Bosq et al., this issue). The Holocene sedimentary infilling began around 5000 BC with an accumulation of marine coarse sands, which suggests the presence of a tidal inlet. On both sides of this tidal channel, archaeological remains dating from the early Neolithic period up to the Bronze Age testify to a human occupation of the coastal area. From ca. 5000 to ca. 3500 cal. BP, a characteristic deposit of intertidal mudflats indicates the transformation of the tidal inlet into estuarine marshes protected by a coastal dune barrier. Between ca. 3500 and ca. 3000 cal. BP, the dune barrier records a phase of erosion which results in the exposure of the marsh to stronger hydrodynamic conditions. From ca. 2800 to 1650, a second phase of estuarine sedimentation is recognized. This period is characterized by significant human occupation as indicated by the presence of numerous archaeological remains of the Iron Age and Gallo-roman periods, associated with the exploitation of a saltwater-to-brackish environment. From 1650 to 1250 cal. BP, the estuarine saltmarsh is gradually overrun by northward migrating coastal-dune fields. After 1250 cal. BP, the marsh is completely covered by the aeolian sands. These results are consistent with previously published data and allow to locally details the sequence of paleogeographic changes of the north-Medoc peninsula. Using the "sea-level index points" method (Hijma et al., 2015), the analysis of radiocarbon dated levels also provides new relative sea-level records for this part of the French Atlantic coast. Finally, the phases of coastal dune activity/stability recognized along the Amelie beach are synchronous with those in the wider Aquitaine coastal region, suggesting a regional driving factor. We propose that the shared sedimentary dynamics are the consequence of the onshore migration of intertidal and subtidal san
位于吉伦特河口(法国西南大西洋海岸)的Amelie海滩在最近的风暴事件中受到强烈侵蚀,特别是在2013-2014年冬季。沙丘前的悬崖和海滩的截断发现了一组河口和风成沉积物沉积物,其中包含许多考古遗迹。在2014年和2015年的春季,利用DGPS和TLS材料沿着2公里长的Amelie海滩进行了地形调查,以重建这些沉积物的高程和地层。为了更好地约束沉积环境,进行了沉积学分析(粒度、微区系)。考古遗迹和从野外收集的沉积物样本中获得的几个放射性碳年代被用来为这个沉积序列提出一个一致的年代框架。从海滩下部到沙丘顶部可划分出10个主要岩相。沉积层序基底由MIS9 (1a单元)至MIS2 (1b单元)的更新世矿床组成(Bosq et al.,本刊)。全新世的沉积充填开始于公元前5000年左右,伴随着海洋粗砂的堆积,这表明潮汐入口的存在。在这条潮汐通道的两侧,从新石器时代早期到青铜时代的考古遗迹证明了人类在沿海地区的占领。约5000至3500 cal. BP期间,潮间带泥滩沉积特征表明潮口转变为受海岸沙丘屏障保护的河口沼泽。在大约3500至3000 cal. BP之间,沙丘屏障记录了一个侵蚀阶段,导致沼泽暴露在更强的水动力条件下。约2800 ~ 1650年,河口发生第二期沉积。这一时期的特点是大量的人类活动,铁器时代和高卢罗马时期的考古遗迹的存在表明,这与对咸水到半咸水环境的开发有关。1650 ~ 1250 cal. BP期间,河口盐沼逐渐被向北迁移的海岸沙丘田所侵占。在1250 cal. BP之后,沼泽被风成沙完全覆盖。这些结果与先前发表的数据一致,并允许局部详细说明北梅多克半岛的古地理变化序列。使用“海平面指数点”方法(Hijma et al., 2015),对放射性碳定年水平的分析也为法国大西洋沿岸的这一部分提供了新的相对海平面记录。最后,Amelie海滩的海岸沙丘活动/稳定阶段与更广泛的阿基坦海岸地区的沙丘活动/稳定阶段是同步的,表明存在区域驱动因素。我们认为共同的沉积动力学是分布在吉伦特河口的潮间带和潮下沙洲向岸上迁移的结果。

The adaptation of territorial systems to the ongoing climate change is an issue which implies to test past populations abilities to cope, to “bounce back” or to adapt during similar past environmental changes. The chronostratigraphical and archaeological results, obtained in the frame of the LITAQ project, make it possible to better understand changes encountered by a coastal system (now on the shore front) whose intense occupation since the Neolithic period was linked to the exploitation of specific resources (salt, grazing), then inherent to a fluvial mouth and estuarine system, at present fossilized under the modern dune. One of the issues raised by these results is linked to the decline of salt-related activities during the whole Bronze period, whereas it is bracketed by a period of growing during the Neolithic (for which we were far from measuring the real amplitude) and by the first Iron Age during which salt production appears to be the main motivation for the settlement and the use of coastal marshes. However, the chronological gap, of about thirteen centuries, recorded between the Early Bronze Age (~2200 BC) and the Late Bronze Age (~900 BC), prevents us from using climate changes as a deterministic and unique factor of land-use changes of the Medoc Peninsula around the first millennium. The complex rhythms, that accompany those changes during this period and the subsequent Iron Age, invite us to consider the territorial vulnerability in a context of hydrogeomorphological modifications of the coast synchronously to those of natural components involved in the salt production process. Modalities of the spatial development of this activity (as deduced from the analysis of inventoried remains) in a context of restricted tidal exchanges (i.e. barred estuary), testify to the adaptability of protohistoric Medocan communities, which faced a slow and progressive disturbance of the coastal system; they attest also to the past resilience, in its systemic sense, of a territory nowadays far from major influences.

High coastal erosion rates along the beaches of the Medoc peninsula urge for the study of the Pleistocene and Holocene deposits buried under the modern dune. Those deposits are known to be exceptionally rich in archaeological remains (from the Mesolithic at least). The aggressive predation of these fossil deposits by the sea explains the urgency of exploring their content and their sedimentological history. Within these formations, the “Lede du Gurp” archaeological site located on the shore, on the administrative boundary of Soulac-sur-Mer and Grayan-et-l’Hopital, is of tremendous value for palaeogeographical and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions of the Medoc peninsula. This site has preserved remains of dense anthropic activity but also evidence of the history of the estuary’s migration before our contemporary era (i.e. recent centuries). Here we present results of new sedimentological investigations conducted as part of the LITAQ project on and around the site. Continuous and undisturbed sections several metres thick (up to 3.5 m) have been obtained by sampling (sediment slides) and coring operations in the field and studied for their lithostratigraphy (using classic and X-ray imaging coupled with spectrocolorimetry, X-ray fluorescence and grain-size analyses together with radiocarbon dating) along with simultaneous archaeological investigations. Our study refines the palaeoenvironmental evolution of the site over at least the Neolithic period and supports previous interpretations of the origin of these atypical lithofacies, i.e. the deposition of a thick Holocene sequence of clays and peats in a depression associated with karstification processes. Our new datings and observations suggest the possible occurrence of a thermokarst system during the coldest phases of the last deglaciation.
沿梅多克半岛海滩的高海岸侵蚀率促使人们研究埋藏在现代沙丘下的更新世和全新世沉积物。众所周知,这些沉积物中有非常丰富的考古遗迹(至少是中石器时代的)。这些化石沉积物在海边的侵略性掠夺解释了探索它们的内容和沉积学历史的紧迫性。在这些地层中,“Lede du Gurp”考古遗址位于海岸上,位于Soulac-sur-Mer和Grayan-et-l 'Hopital的行政边界上,对梅多克半岛的古地理和古环境重建具有巨大价值。这个遗址保存了密集人类活动的遗迹,也是我们当代(即近几个世纪)之前河口迁移历史的证据。在这里,我们介绍了作为LITAQ项目的一部分在该地点及其周围进行的新的沉积学调查的结果。通过取样(沉积物滑动)和野外取心作业获得了几米厚(高达3.5米)的连续和未受干扰的剖面,并对其岩石地层学进行了研究(使用经典和x射线成像,结合分光比色法,x射线荧光和粒度分析以及放射性碳测年),同时进行了考古调查。我们的研究细化了该遗址至少在新石器时代的古环境演化,并支持了之前对这些非典型岩相起源的解释,即与岩溶作用过程相关的洼地中厚的全新世粘土和泥炭层序的沉积。我们的新年代测定和观测表明,在最后一次消冰最冷的阶段可能存在热岩溶系统。

Pleistocene deposits exposed along the coast of the Medoc area, south-west France, represent valuable palaeoenvironmental archives that have been the subject of extensive work in the past few decades. To further understand the palaeoenvironmental history and sedimentary dynamics of these deposits, a detailed lithostratigraphic study was performed on a series of new sections. Additionally, new chronological data were obtained from the combination of luminescence (OSL, IR-RF) and electron spin resonance (ESR) dating of quartz and feldspar grains (Kreutzer et al., 2018). The investigated sections comprise estuarine, lacustrine and peaty deposits (Negade Formation, Argiles du Gurp Formation), aeolian sands (Sables du Gurp Formation) and colluvial units (Gres de l'Amelie Formation). The Argiles du Gurp Formation, in which many remains of Palaeoloxodon antiquus were found, support the hypothesis of a progressive replacement of a tide-inluenced marsh by a peaty fresh-water pond during the Holsteinian Interglacial (MIS 11). IR-RF dating of green estuarine clays at L’Amelie, in the northernmost part of the investigated area, strongly suggests that they do not belong to the Argile du Gurp Formation, but were deposited during the MIS 9 sea level highstand. The estuarine deposits are overlain by sandsheets (Sables du Gurp Formation) dated to MIS 10 and MIS 8 at Pointe de la Negade in the southern part of the study area, and to MIS 8 at L’Amelie. Syngenetic frost cracks testify to a periglacial depositional environment. Regional studies show that the Sables du Gurp Formation is a local equivalent of the Sables des Landes Formation, and corresponds to the oldest aeolian phase recorded in south-west France so far. Colluvial material (Gres de l'Amelie Formation) dated to the Weichselian pleni-glacial (MIS 2) ill small palaeo-valleys incised in the Sables du Gurp Formation. Holocene coastal dunes cover the whole sequence.
法国西南部梅多克地区海岸暴露的更新世沉积物代表了宝贵的古环境档案,在过去几十年中一直是大量工作的主题。为了进一步了解这些矿床的古环境历史和沉积动力学,对一系列新剖面进行了详细的岩石地层学研究。此外,通过石英和长石颗粒的发光(OSL,IR-RF)和电子自旋共振(ESR)测年相结合,获得了新的时间数据(Kreutzer等人,2018)。调查路段包括河口、湖泊和泥炭沉积物(Negade组、Argiles du Gurp组)、风积沙(Sables du Gurp层)和崩坡积单元(Gres de l’Amelie组)。在Argiles du Gurp组中发现了许多古洛齿龙antiquus的遗迹,支持了在荷尔斯坦阶间冰川(MIS 11)期间,由泥炭淡水池逐渐取代潮汐影响的沼泽的假设。调查区域最北部L'Amelie的绿色河口粘土的IR-RF年代测定强烈表明,它们不属于Argile du Gurp组,而是在MIS 9海平面高位沉积的。河口沉积物被研究区南部Pointe de la Negade的MIS 10和MIS 8以及L’Amelie的MIS 8的沙片(Sables du Gurp Formation)覆盖。同生霜裂缝证明了冰缘沉积环境。区域研究表明,Sables du Gurp组在当地相当于Sables des Landes组,对应于迄今为止法国西南部记录的最古老的风成期。在Sables du Gurp组中切割的小古河谷中,可追溯到Weichselian pleni冰川(MIS 2)的寒流物质(Gres de l’Amelie组)。全新世海岸沙丘覆盖了整个序列。
