Le site de Peyrazet (Creysse, Lot), dans le Haut-Quercy, fouillé entre 2008 et 2016, a redynamisé les recherches sur la fin du Paléolithique supérieur dans cette région. Entre plateau et vallée, Peyrazet apparaît désormais comme un nouveau jalon du Magdalénien supérieur entre l'océan Atlantique et la Méditerranée. Ce travail collectif présente les études comparatives et croisées des industries lithiques, des équipements osseux, des restes fauniques, des matières colorantes et de la parure, retrouvés sur les 12 m2 de la fouille, soit environ le quart de la surface habitable estimée. Ces matériaux ont permis aux chercheurs de documenter une partie des activités qui s'y sont déroulées. Sur les restes de silex, par exemple, des traces d'utilisation montrent une relative diversité d'activités réalisées à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur du site. De même, en analysant la provenance des silex et des coquillages marins, et en les comparant avec d'autres sites, les archéologues ont mis en évidence un réseau d'approvisionnement et d'échanges bidirectionnel à longue distance. Mais c'est le renne qui constitue le socle commun des activités socio-économiques menées dans la grotte-abri : sa viande y était amenée en quartiers, ses os et ses bois servaient à fabriquer des projectiles de chasse et des aiguilles, ses dents utilisées en éléments de parure... La confection d'objets en peaux, dont on repère de nombreux témoins, révèle une véritable originalité. Des résultats qui, pour le moment, restent exceptionnels dans cette région française.

Economic archaeology is the study of how past peoples exploited animals and plants, using as evidence the remains of those animals and plants. The animal side is usually termed zooarchaeology, the plant side archaeobotany. What distinguishes them from other studies of ancient animals and plants is that their ultimate aim is to find out about human behaviour - the animal and plant remains are a means to this end. The 33 papers present a wide array of topics covering many areas of archaeological interest. Aspects of method and theory, animal bone identification, human palaeopathology, prehistori.

Quantitative Paleozoology describes and illustrates how the remains of long-dead animals recovered from archaeological and paleontological excavations can be studied and analyzed. The methods range from determining how many animals of each species are represented to determining whether one collection consists of more broken and more burned bones than another. All methods are described and illustrated with data from real collections, while numerous graphs illustrate various quantitative properties.

One of the most significant developments in archaeology in recent years is the emergence of its environmental branch: the study of humans’ interactions with their natural surroundings over long periods and of organic remains instead of the ceramic, lithic and architectural elements generally associated with sites. With the current attention paid to human responsibility for environmental change, this innovative field is recognized by scientists, conservation and heritage managers, and policymakers worldwide. In this context comes Environmental Archaeology by Elizabeth Reitz and Myra Shackley, updating the seminal 1981 text Environmental Archaeology by Myra Shackley.  Rigorously detailed yet concise and accessible, this volume surveys the complex and technical field of environmental archaeology for researchers interested in the causes, consequences, and potential future impact of environmental change from the perspective of archaeology. Its coverage acknowledges the multiple disciplines involved in the field, expanding the possibilities for using environmental data from archaeological sites in enriching related disciplines and improving communication among them. Introductory chapters explain the processes involved in the formation of sites, introduce research designs and field methods and walk the reader through biological classifications before focusing on the various levels of biotic and abiotic materials found at sites, including: Sediments and soils. Viruses, bacteria, archaea, protists and fungi. Bryophytes and vascular plants. Wood, charcoal, stems, leaves and roots. Spores, pollen and other microbotanical remains. Arthropods, molluscs, echinoderms and vertebrates.  Stable isotopes, elements and biomolecules. The updated Environmental Archaeology is a major addition to the resource library of archaeologists, environmentalists, historians, researchers, policymakers—anyone involved in studying, managing, or preserving archaeological sites.
