Palaeodemography of the Late Upper Palaeolithic - Estimating population density of hunter-gath-

erers during the Upper Pleistocene in Europe

The PhD-Project „Analysis of the Palaeodemography of hunters and gatherers of the Late Upper Palaeo-

lithic in Europe“ is part of the Collaborative Research Centre 806 „Our way to Europe“ funded by the

Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Council). The project investigates the demog-

raphy of Late Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherer populations, when Europe was repopulated after the Last

Glacial Maximum. The aim is to develop a method for estimating regional differentiated population densi-

ties based primarily on archaeological data and to investigate the distinct settlement patterns.

A method based on GIS techniques is used to upscale archaeological data from key sites and regions to

culturally homogenous contextual areas in Europe. Based on the spatial density of Late Upper Palaeolithic

sites, GIS-calculated regions are interpreted as indicators for settlement areas at the superior scales.

The origin of the raw materials from key sites indicates seasonal or annual areas used by a group of humans.

Size relation of settlement area and raw material catchments is an indication for the number of hunter-gather-

ers in a region. These results are related to compatible group sizes observed in ethnographic data. Such con-

cepts are compared with on-site information about settlement sizes, duration of stay and seasonality.

For the Late Magdalenian different settlement regions are generated in Southwestern France, Southeastern

France and Switzerland, the Paris Basin, the Pyrenees and the Northern Iberian Peninsula, Central Europe,

Rhine-Meuse-Area and Southern Germany, plus Northern Central Europe with the Hamburgian. Those

settlement regions are all characterized by different population densities. For instance, in Southern France a

higher population density is expected than in Central Europe.

The investigation of population densities and settlement patterns will contribute to our understanding of

differences and similarities of human mobility and demographical processes of Palaeolithic hunter-gatherer

groups in Europe.

Montastruc shelter in Bruniquel, Tarn-et-Garonne (France): unpublished data about the last exca-

vations of B. Bétirac (1956-1957)

By chance of a gift made to the Natural history Museum in Montauban, some unpublished documents

about the last excavations carried out by B. Bétirac in Montastruc shelter were found again. These docu-

ments were in the papers of Daniel Barnicaud, who worked as a young man with B. Bétirac.

The most interesting documents are the reports about the excavations, that B. Bétirac sent to the Abbé

Breuil, and too several sheet of drawings of the bone art and industry, carried out by D. Barnicaud.

They are currently the only known data about these works,that the author never published because he died

too early in 1959. They complete and give some more light on the previous study published in 1952.

The famous ndings of Schöningen, Germany: a new geological model for the embedding and

preservation of palaeolithic artefacts

The Pleistocene deposits of Schöningen represent an outstanding geological and archaeological archive. We

will present a new depositional model, integrating outcrop, borehole and high-resolution shear wave seismic

data. The Elsterian and Holsteinian deposits are restricted to a NNW-SSE trending tunnel valley, which was

incised beneath the Elsterian ice sheet (Lang et al., in press). During the Holsteinian (MIS 9) a lake formed

within the underlled Elsterian tunnel valley. The lacustrine deposition was affected by repeated, climati-

cally controlled lake-level uctuations leading to the formation of stacked delta systems (Lang et al., in press).
