“…La question reviendra tout au long de ce volume, mais ce sera à la manière d'une hantise ou d'un remords, et dans l'ombre portée de cette remarque de Benjamin : « Une question qui demeure réservée pour la conclusion : comment est-il possible qu'une attitude au moins en apparence aussi “inactuelle” que celle de l'allégoricien ait dans l'oeuvre poétique du siècle une place de tout premier plan ? …”

“…Study of finds distribution, stone-tool industry, the origins of flint raw materials and faunal remains has enabled archaeologists to reconstruct the camps’ spatial organisation and to better de fine the cultural identity of hunter groups Excavations at Ruffey produced a significant discovery one of the oldest cremation burials from the middle Sauveterrian. …”

“…Situated in the North of France, Bettencourt-Saint- Ouen is an open-air Middle Palaeolithic site, most probably used as a hunters’ stopping place. Five successive phases of occupation have been excavated, covering a period of 40.000 years Study of the site has revealed fondamental data lot our understanding of human occupation, as well as important informations on environmental changes to the site during the final glacial period (from the Eemian Interglacial to the lower Weichselian Pleniglacial). …”
