S2-02EN_PDF_Daniel Mordant, Boris Valentin and Jean-Denis Vigne — Noyen-sur-Seine, twenty-five years on

This chapter summarises our current understanding of the site of Noyen-sur-Seine by highlighting several particular aspects starting from the field and leading up to perspectives which may be explored in the light of current Mesolithic research. Following a brief history of this groundbreaking research, several successive topics will be addressed: the sedimentary dynamics of the anthropic deposits, the possible origin and differential preservation of the remains (D. M.), previously published information and new perspectives concerning the faunal material (J.-D. V.), lithic industries and human remains (B. V.). This outline should by no means be confused with the presentation of a fixed research program, but rather a call for new research incorporating the many projects that remain to be elaborated or strengthened.
