Abstract
- IN Périgord, as in other parts of Europe, climatic and ecological variations inferred from Pleistocene sediments and organic remains have long provided the basis for correlating stratified Palaeolithic artefacts1and for subdividing the geological record2,3. Radiocarbon dating now makes it possible to establish independent environmental, archaeological and palaeontological sequences and thus to investigate the links between them. I report here the results of work on valley deposits undertaken with this end in view; their archaeological and palaeoclimatic implications will be considered elsewhere.
