Comportements de subsistance à la transition Paléolithique moyen/Paléolithique supérieur : exemples d’Europe orientale et d’Asie centrale

Abstract

Based on subsistence behaviour studies, considered in their ecological and cultural contexts, of four key sites in low and mid-altitude mountains in central Eurasia (Kabazi II and V, Siuren I and Buran-Kaya III in Crimea, Obi-Rakhmat in Uzbekistan), we discuss here the issue of the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition in these under-investigated regions.
