Contributions to Paleolithic Research: In the Steps of Albert I, Prince of Monaco

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Hunter-Gatherer Archaeology of Liguria: Recent Research and Insights" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Methodological research had been conducted from the late nineteenth century thanks to Albert I, Prince of Monaco. He is acknowledged across the world for his key role in Paleolithic issues and the history of science. Excavations and leading publications under his leadership bring the fruit of early experience and reflection. More than a century later, a wide-ranging historiographical endeavor uncovered new and interesting sources whereas current archaeological investigation and analyses allowed precise and detailed information. We will focus on the results obtained on three major and famous Paleolithic caves of the liguro-provençal area: Prince and Enfants in Balzi Rossi, Liguria, Italy, and Observatoire Cave in Monaco. This preliminary study aims at filling some multidisciplinary gaps based on a framework of global considerations as to remind the large-scale scientific projects of Prince Albert I.
