Pascal Foucher et al., « La gestion des matières premières à la grotte des Gargas (Hautes-Pyrénées, France) : une économie de piémont pyrénéen au Gravettien », HAL-SHS : archéologie, ID : 10.21630/maa.2016.67.mis10
Since 2004, new research has been conducted at Gargas, a decorated cave site located in the center of the Pyrenees mountain chain. Based on combined studies of the raw materials used to manufacture lithic and bone tools and personal ornaments, along with a zooarchaeological analysis of the faunal remains, we have obtained a more thorough understanding of the resources used by the Gravettian groups that occupied the cave from 28,000 to 25,000 BP. This economic strategy was practiced in a foothill environment between the mid-mountain zonesand large alluvial plains of the Garonne and Neste rivers, in order to procure both animal (hunted fauna, collection of shed cervid antler) and lithic (alluvial quartzites, Flysch and Petites Pyrénées flints) resources In this particular context, we will address the flint procurement strategies employed by the Gravettians, given the absence of this raw material within a range of 25-45 km around the cave. While this economic model existed mainly in this foothill environment, we nonetheless observe an extension of the Gravettian economic and social spheres into the Atlantic and Perigord regions, represented by the materials used for personal ornaments (perforated shells) and someallochthonous flints.
