Monaco in Prehistoric Times and Further Investigations

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Recent Advances in the Prehistory of Liguria and Neighboring Regions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology has conducted excavations and research in the Principality of Monaco and surroundings for more than 100 years. In this contribution, we tackle the issue of the prehistoric Liguro-Provencal panorama, including some major comparative items and new results obtained through the assessments of Monaco (e.g. Observatoire, Saint-Martin, Bas-Moulins, Spélugues) and Prince (Balzi Rossi, Liguria, Italy) caves collections. This overview is intended to update our Paleolithic-Neolithic-Protohistoric vision in this area (Liguria, Italy and Alpes-Maritimes, France) which is full of interest as well as to enrich the current state of knowledge for behavioral strategies and paleoenvironment.
