Les fossiles de Cro-Magnon (Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, Dordogne) by Dominique Henry-Gambier

“…The Cro-Magnon skeletal remains discovered en 1868 near les Eyzies–de-Tayac (Dordogne) are generally attributed to the Aurignacian culture, and are dated to 30000 BP through comparison with the 14C date of the Aurignacian levels of the Pataud rock shelter (Dordogne).An AMS 14C date (27680 ≠ 270 BP, Beta –157439) of a Littorina shell associated with these human remains demonstrates that they postdate 28000 BP, indicating that the Cro-Magnon burials should not be interpretated as early Aurignacian. …”

Proportions des tissus des dents déciduales chez deux individus de Dordogne (France) : l’enfant néanderthalien du Roc de Marsal et le spécimen du Paléolithique supérieur final de La Madeleine. by Priscillia Bayle

“…However, deciduous dental tissue proportions in Neanderthals, notably those of the anterior teeth, are still poorly known, and the structural condition characteristic of the anatomically modern fossil human teeth is unreported yet.By means of high-resolution industrial (µCT) and synchrotron radiation (SR-µCT) microtomography, we investigated, for the first time, the inner structure of the entire deciduous dental sequence of the Neanderthal child of Roc de Marsal (Dordogne) and of the late Upper Paleolithic specimen from La Madeleine (La Madeleine 4, Dordogne), and comparatively quantified their volumetric dental tissue proportions.Results show that, since the early developmental stages, Neanderthal teeth (here represented also by isolated specimens from the site of La Chaise, in Charente) are characterized by a unique tissue organization, while the late Upper Paleolithic specimen shows a pattern similar to the extant human condition illustrated by our reference sample.…”
