Le Buisson Campin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Le Buisson Campin is a late Magdalenian field site in the Paris basin . Since the site was slowly covered with sediments from the Oise , the finds and the distribution of finds have been preserved in excellent shape. An analysis of the orientation of the find showed that the finds were not shifted by the water. The findings consist of hearths and the surrounding finds. The site was excavated by Françoise Audouze in sectors of 400 m² (A1-T20) in a square meter pattern.

location

Le Buisson Campin is located directly on the Oise near Compiègne , between Verberie and Choisy-au-Bac , approx. 60 km north of Paris .

Dating

The site was between 12,950 and 12,300 BC. BC ( cal. ) Inhabited, i.e. at the end of the older Dryas and the early Bölling . Fine yellow Pleistocene high-tide sands of the Oise, which contain the finds (layer II), lie over Pleistocene gravels and sands (layer III) ; they can be divided into at least four horizons, which, however, are overprinted today and are therefore poorly preserved. Above it lies a Holocene, loamy, calcareous brown earth that has been plowed since the Neolithic (layer I). A total of eight layers of settlement were identified. The finds are concentrated around one or more hearths that are named after the square in which they were excavated.

  • Layer II-1: Hearths D1 and M20
  • Layer II-22: Hearth L8
  • Layers II-3 and II-4: Hearth O5-6
  • Layer II-6: Hearth J / 9-10

Finds

The finds consist mainly of flint artifacts , animal bones and bone implements such as bullet points and needles. The flint industry is dominated by blades and lamellas. The raw material is dominated by secondary deposited chalk flint ( Campania and Santonia ). There are also gray quartzite and flint stones of the baronia .

Economy

The main prey animal was the reindeer , whose bones make up 95% of the identified animal bones (at least 130 individuals). Presumably, young bulls were given preference. According to the analysis of the traces of use of the flint finds and the distribution of the body parts, the site was probably a hunting station, mainly body parts with low nutritional value remained at the site. In addition to the reindeer, wild horses, snow foxes, mammoths , pond frogs, arctic ground squirrels , lemmings and other rodents have been identified. Among the birds are geese, ducks and red grouse .
