Le statut socio-économique du Renne au Magdalénien en Europe. Nouvelles données archéozoologiques sur l'économie des derniers chasseurs-collecteurs du paléolithiques

Resumen

The Magdalenian period offers a large range of archaeological sites rich in fauna material. However, this culture, very well known in some parts of Europe, stays poorly documented in other parts on a zooarchaeological point of view. We present our results from two Europeans regions where the subsistence behaviour was unknown: First, the “Berry” (deposit slope of “La Garenne”, Saint-Marcel – Indre, France) at the junction between the Aquitaine and Parisian basins, several times occupied by Magdalenian ; and then Moravia (Kůlna, Sloup – Czech Republic), one of the most oriental Magdalenian’s establishment. We discuss the socio-economic status of the Reindeer to see if its place in the Magdalenian society was the same in all Europe and if its exploitation results from environmental conditions or from acultural choice. Comparing these results with others disciplines then allows us to discuss about territory and its management by the hunters-gatherers from the last Pleniglacial
