Conference on Monday, December 12, 2022 with Carole Fritz, archaeologist. Discovered in 1994, the Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc cave (Ardèche) has profoundly changed our vision of Paleolithic art. An ecological and paleosocietal niche behind closed doors, it reveals specific information on frozen moments, linked to singular practices that do not directly reflect subsistence activities, the daily life of the Paleolithic people, but which can be considered essential elements in the construction of their social life (social structures, beings, relationships, etc.) and spiritual life. With --- Carole Fritz, archaeologist and research director at the CNRS. She currently leads the scientific team of the Chauvet Pont-d'Arc Cave and the Emile-Cartailhac Center for Research and Study of Prehistoric Art (CREAP) at the Maison des sciences de l'Homme in Toulouse.
