Cutmarks and breakage of human bones in the Upper Paleolithic, La Salpétrière cave, Department of Gard, France

Résumé

Cannibalism was shown to have existed in Europe during the Lower Paleolithic at Gran Dolina cave in Spain, in the Middle Paleolithic Moula-Guercy cave and the Neolithic Fontbrégoua cave in France. One of the characteristics of Upper Paleolithic populations is to have buried their deads. However, fragmented human bones with cutmarks were observed within several Upper Paleolithic French caves. We present a new case study, that of La Salpétrière (Gard) in Southeastern France.
