Résumé
This research concerns the characterisation of economy of a Mesolithic settlement in the South of France. The Mourre de Sève site is a rock shelter located not far the confluence of Rhône-Ouvèze and it represents the exploitation of a riverine environment by hunter-gatherers. The latest excavations, in 1994 and 1997, dated the site using AMS to the Sauveterrian and the Castelnovian periods. The Castelnovian lithic industry from the top levels of the site constitutes one of the few blade and trapeze complexes of the region between the Alps and the Pyrenees. In this article we discuss the results of use-wear analysis carried on the lithic artefacts from the recent excavations. The results of this analysis are linked to multidisciplinary studies of the archaeological material to characterize the economy of the site. The findings suggest continuity in economy type from the Sauveterrian to the Castelnovian occupations
