Alepotrypa Cave at Diros Bay, Lakonia, Greece, is a massive karstic formation of consecutive chambers ending at a lake. The cave was excavated by G. Papathanassopoulos from 1970 to 2006. In conjunction with the surrounding area, it was used as a complementary habitation area, burial site, and place for ceremonial activity during the Neolithic c 6000 to 3200 BC. As a sealed, single-component, archaeological site, the Neolithic settlement complex of Alepotrypa Cave is one of the richest sites in Greece and Europe in terms of number of artifacts, preservation of biological materials, volume of undisturbed deposits, and horizontal exposure of archaeological surfaces of past human activity and this publication is an important contribution to ongoing archaeological research of the Neolithic Age in Greece in particular, but also in Anatolia, the Balkans and Europe in general. This edited volume offers a full scholarly interdisciplinary study and interpretation of the results of approximately 40 years of excavation and analysis. It includes numerous chemical analyses and a much needed long series of radiocarbon dates, the corresponding microstratigraphic, stratigraphic and ceramic sequence, the human burials, stone and bone tools, faunal and floral remains, isotopic analyses, specific locations of human activities and ceremonies inside the cave, as well as a site description and the history of the excavation conducted by G. Papathanasopoulos

Jean Gascó est chargé de Recherche au Centre d’Anthropologie des Sociétés Rurales. E.R. 289 du C.N.R.S. Il étudie dans cet ouvrage les aménagements domestiques du Mésolithique, du Néolithique et de l’Age du Bronze fouillés aux abris de Font-Juvénal et du Roc-de-Dourgne dans l’Aude. A un moment où les structures d’habitat font l’objet en France d’une analyse détaillée, ce travail apporte une documentation abondante et des éléments de réflexion concernant la typologie, la fonction, les données culturelles, l’évolution et la terminologie de ces aménagements. L’auteur les répartit en quatre catégories : foyers à plat, trous de combustion, structures de maintien et structures de conservation. Cette recherche débouche sur une approche typologique des structures d’habitat de la Préhistoire en Languedoc méditerranéen et vient compléter, à la fois dans le temps et l’espace, des études qui avaient jusqu’alors concerné essentiellement le Paléolithique supérieur du nord de la France. In this paper, Jean Gascó (chargé de Recherche, Centre d’Anthropologie des Sociétés Rurales, E.R. 289 du C.N.R.S.) examines domestic structures which date from the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze âge, excavated at the rock shelters of « Font-Juvénal » and « Roc-de-Dourgne » (Aude, France). Currently the study of such domestic structures is subject to detailed examination in France and has produced an abondance of material and elements to interpret concerning the typology, fonction, cultural data, evolution and typology of such structures. This research has lead to a typological approach of prehistoric domestic structures in Mediterranean Languedoc region and complements studies which have up to the moment concerned essentially the upper Paleolithic of northern France.
