Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Fabric analysis in archaeological contexts, i.e. the study of the orientation and dip of artefacts, has been improved during the last decade with respect to the statistical treatment of data, the development of a reference base for natural sedimentary processes and the increased number of data for Palaeolithic levels. These works show that fabrics are an efficient tool for assessing site formation processes. Fabrics allow discrimination between undisturbed (or minimally disturbed) levels; levels that have undergone strong pedoturbations; and levels that have been significantly reworked by slope processes. However, in the present state of knowledge, fabrics do not allow precise estimation of the degree of perturbation if not associated with other archaeological and geological criteria. From the set of data on French Palaeolithic sites used here, it is demonstrated that slope dynamics and particularly solifluction for sites predating the Late Glacial may have played an important role in site formation. | |||||||||||
