Abstract

This paper accepts the position that the European Aurignacian should be seen as a reflection of behaviour connected to a modern human dispersal. A two-phase dispersal model (‘Pioneer’ and ‘Developed’ fades) is proposed to explain the variations in artefactual diversity and spatio-temporal patterning, enacted by directional, rapid movement across the continent rather than by a ‘Wave-of-Advance’. Presumed behavioural signatures of this population dispersal, notably what is here termed ‘behavioural flexibility’, are also explored.

Résumé

Cette étude adopte la position que l'Aurignacien européen devrait être considéré comme un reflet de la façon d'agir liée à une dispersion moderne des individus. On propose un modèle de dispersion en deux phases (faciès ‘pionnier’ et faciès ‘développé’) pour expliquer les variations dans la diversité des artefacts et le schéma spatio-temporel, représenté par un mouvement rapide dans une direction particulière à travers le continent plutôt que par une avancée sous forme de vague. On explore également des signatures présumées de la façon d'agir de cette population en dispersion, notamment ce qu'on apppelle ici ‘flexibilité de conduite’.

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Artikel akzeptiert die Position, daß das europäische Aurignacian als eine Reflektion von Verhalten gesehen werden muß, das mit der Verbreitung des modernen Menschen verbunden ist. Ein Ausbreitungsmodell mit zwei Phasen (‘Pioniere’ und ‘entwickelte’ Fazies) wird vorgeschlagen, das die Variationen in der Vielfalt der Artefakte und die räumlich-zeitliche Strukturbildung erklärt. Dabei wird eher von gerichteten, schnellen Bewegungen über den Kontinent hinweg ausgegangen, als von einem „wellenförmigem Vordringen‟. Schließlich wird auch das mögliche Verhalten untersucht, besonders auch im Hinblick auf die so genannte „Verhaltensflexibilität‟, das zu einer solchen Bevölkerungsverbreitung geführt hat.

Resúmen

Este trabajo acepta la postura de que el Aurignaciense en Europa debe entenderse como el reflejo de un comportamiento asociado a la dispersión de humanos biológicamente modernos. Para explicar las variaciones en diversidad de los artefactos y recurrencias espacio-temporales, se propone un modelo de dispersión en dos fases (‘Pionera’ y ‘Desarrollada’), realizadas en rápidos movimientos direccionales a través del continente, y no de acuerdo con el modelo ‘Ola-de-Avancc’. También se exploran algunas de las posibles huellas dejadas por esta dispersión de población, notablemente lo que en este trabajo llamamos “flexibilidad de comportamiento”.
