Estudio multidisciplinar del yacimiento paleolítico inferior de Cimitero di Atella (Basilicata), Italia

Quaternary International, Rocca et al. 2023

El objetivo de este artículo, publicado en la revista Quaternary International, es presentar los principales resultados obtenidos desde la reanudación de la excavación del yacimiento de Cimitero di Atella, en el sur de Italia, en 2015, por un equipo franco-italiano. Los estudios geológicos, geocronológicos y paleontológicos han proporcionado nueva información sobre el contexto ambiental del sitio y han dado una asignación cronológica más precisa a los niveles de ocupación humana, entre finales del MIS 15 y el MIS 13. El estudio preliminar del material arqueológico del Cimitero di Atella, y en particular la diversidad de los trabajos líticos identificados, nos invita a discutir la cuestión de los mecanismos de aparición del fenómeno bifacial en Europa.
La investigación sobre el yacimiento de Cimitero di Atella ha sido financiada principalmente por la Escuela Francesa de Roma en el marco de los programas PALEO 1 (2017-2021) y PALEO 2 (2022-2026), con el apoyo del ayuntamiento de Atella, y ha sido autorizada por el Ministerio de Cultura italiano.
