Research project
The dissertation project is part of the SFB 1070 RessourcenKulturen (subproject B01) and focuses on early Upper Palaeolithic cave art in eastern France. Although this region was densely populated in the Upper Palaeolithic, there are comparatively few known sites with cave art (e.g. Arcy-sur-Cure or Grotte des Gorges). In 2017, a new site was discovered, the Grottes d'Agneux near Rully (Saône-et-Loire), which will be investigated together with other potential sites within this research project. In the following step, the established sites of eastern France will also be included in the analysis. Geographically, eastern France is situated between several centers of early art, such as the Swabian Jura, the Ardèche with the Grotte Chauvet as well as the Dordogne. In this respect, characteristics for the art of the early Upper Palaeolithic in eastern France will be elaborated and put into relation with the depictions of other archaeological regions. In this way, a contribution will be made to the explanation of the characteristics and dynamics of early Upper Paleolithic art.
Research interests
- Early art in Europe
- Upper Palaeolithic cave art and portable art
