The journal L'Écho du Monde Savant was published weekly in Paris from 1834 to 1846. Established and directed, for many years, by Nérée Boubée (1806-1862), L'Écho aimed to « present a summary of the most important news that happened within the savant world » to both the specialized and non-specialized public and constituted a relevant facet of Boubée's professional activities, namely as a science popularizer. L'Écho was subdivided inside into seven sections, namely: Discussions de la semaine; Cours scientifiques; Nouvelles; Bulletin archéologique; Prix proposés; and Annonces. From January 1836 onwards, the journal split into two different weekly issues, which embraced different science fields: on Thursdays, it informed about astronomy, meteorology, physics, chemistry, mechanics, industrial economy, archaeology, and history; on Sundays, it published matters relative to zoology, physiology, botany, paleontology, mineralogy, geology, and geography. The above-mentioned section Bulletin archéologique was expected to be a privileged space for disseminating archaeological news and contents mixed with those on prehistory. In addition, it published information received from learned associations, like the Société Royale des Antiquaires de France. From number 37 onwards (August 1, 1834), L'Écho became the official journal of archaeological societies. As an example of themes, one may mention the fossil bones found in caves in France, which received strong attention for a long-lasting period, on many occasions compared with the situation in other countries-Paul Tournal (1805-1872), Boucher de Perthes (1788-1868), as well as William Buckland (1784-1856) undoubtedly cited. The present paper focuses on the contents related to human prehistory and archaeology published in L'Écho, aiming to identify their main topics and place them within the broader context of those scientific fields.
