Les communautés de petits vertébrés du dernier Interglaciaire sont rares en Europe du Nord-Ouest. Le site de Waziers, qui bénéficie d’un cadre chrono-stratigraphique solide, permet d’enrichir nos connaissances sur les dynamiques fauniques et climatiques dans le Nord de la France. Le cortège de petits vertébrés est composé de restes d’oiseaux, de rongeurs, d’herpétofaune et de poissons. Les niveaux de l’US-4, antérieurs à l’Eemien, sont caractérisés par la présence de Lasiopodomys gregalis (Campagnol des hauteurs) et Lagurus lagurus (Lemming des steppes) qui sont associés à des environnements froids et ouverts. L’US-5, qui correspond à l’Eemien, est caractérisée par une diversité élevée d’espèces d’Anatidae et par la présence de Microtus arvalis/agrestis (Campagnol des champs/agreste), de Clethrionomys glareolus (Campagnol roussâtre), d’Emys orbicularis (Cistude d’Europe) ainsi que de repré- sentants des genres Salamandra (Salamandre) et Rana (groupe des grenouilles rousses). Ces différents taxons renvoient l’image d’un environnement de zone humide avec un climat potentiellement plus chaud que l’actuel. L’origine des restes de petits vertébrés de Waziers apparait mixte, avec une action au moins partielle de rapaces et/ou de carnivores pour une partie de l’assemblage (notam- ment amphibiens et oiseaux) et possiblement des individus morts naturellement in situ. Small vertebrate communities from the Last Interglacial are rare in Northwestern Europe. The Waziers site, which has a solid chrono-stratigraphic framework, allows us to enrich our knowledge of faunal and climatic dynamics in Northern France. The small vertebrate assemblage is composed of bird remains, rodents, herpetofauna and fish. The levels of SU 4, which predate the Eemian, are characterised by the presence of Lasiopodomys gregalis (Narrow-headed vole) and Lagurus lagurus (Steppe Lemming) which are associated to cold and open environments. SU 5, which corresponds to the Eemian, is characterised by a diversity of Anatidae species, by the presence of Microtus arvalis/agrestis (Short-tailed field/common vole), Clethrionomys glareolus (Bank vole), Emys orbicularis (European pond terrapin) as well as the presence of the genera Salamandra and Rana. These different taxa give the image of a wetland environment with a potentially warmer climate than the present one. The origin of the small vertebrate remains from Waziers appears to be diverse, with with at least partial action of raptors and/or carnivores for part of the assemblage (notably amphibians and birds) and possibly individuals that died naturally in situ.

La Formation de Waziers est constituée d’un dépôt alluvial limoneux surmonté de tuf calcaire et de tourbe. Elle est conservée dans un petit paléo-chenal de la rivière Scarpe-Scarbus, reconnu sur plusieurs centaines de mètres de long à l’entrée de la plaine de la Scarpe et daté de la fin du Saalien (SIM 6) et de l’Eemien (SIM 5e). La Formation de Waziers a été préservée à la faveur d’une défluviation ultérieure à son dépôt puis de son scellement par des dépôts fluvio-éoliens de la fin du Pléniglaciaire weichselien (SIM 2). La synthèse de l’ensemble des données et études (lithologie, paléontologie, géochronologie, reconstitution des paléotem- pératures) fournit une image cohérente de l’évolution de la zone depuis la fin du Saalien vers 130 000 ans environ jusqu’à la fin du Pléniglaciaire weichselien. À la base, les alluvions sablo-graveleuses (témoignant d’écoulements dynamiques) puis limoneuses (Membre 1) se déposent dans le fond de vallée à la fin du glaciaire saalien dans un contexte d’amorce de reconquête forestière. Un plan d’eau se développe ensuite, permettant le dépôt d’une craie lacustre dans un marais à Characées puis d’une tourbière (Membre 2, env. 1,5 m d’épaisseur) dans un contexte forestier. Un cours d’eau chenalisé circule encore dans la tourbière, au moins par intermittence, érodant et déposant localement des alluvions limoneuses. La partie inférieure du Membre 2 enregistre la transition du glaciaire Saalien (fin SIM 6) à l’Interglaciaire eemien (début SIM 5e) dans un contexte de sédimentation continue de plus en plus organique. La partie supérieure du Membre 2 enregistre l’optimum climatique eemien dans un faciès de tourbe typique, puis l’amorce d’une dégradation climatique. Au toit du Membre 2 (et celui de la Formation) est observée la limite d’une érosion majeure qui n’a pas permis l’enregistrement de la fin de l’Interglaciaire eemien. À la base du Membre 3 (env. 3 m d’épaisseur), des écoule- ments concentrés dans des ravines profondes sur sol gelé démantèlent et remanient les dépôts sous-jacents. Ensuite, des écoulements (attribués au Pléniglaciaire weichselien) déposent une nappe de graviers de craie sur l’ensemble du site dans une bande active plus large (probable tressage). La majeure partie du Membre 3 est constituée de dépôts limono-sableux fluvio-éoliens et d’un mince dépôt loessique terminal. La qualité de l’enregistrement sédimentaire de la formation de Waziers, avec notamment un dépôt continu au moment de la transition climatique du Saalien à l’Eemien, et l’abondance des éléments paléontologiques (bois et macrorestes végétaux, macro et méso-faune, microfaune, avifaune, malacofaune…) dans les dépôts eemiens font de celle-ci un témoin exceptionnel pour les recons- titutions paléoenvironnementales et paléoclimatiques de cette période. La présence de niveaux témoignant d’occupations humaines récurrentes dans les Membres 1 et 2 (éclats isolés, amas de débitage, traces d’actions anthropiques sur faune) font de ce site et de cette séquence une référence pour la compréhension des dynamiques de peuplement humain entre le SIM 6 (Saalien) et le SIM 5e (Eemien) dans le Nord de la France et plus largement dans le Nord-Ouest de l’Europe. The Waziers Formation consists of a silty alluvial deposit topped by calcareous tuff and peat. It is preserved in a small palaeo- channel of the Scarpe-Scarbus river, recognised over several hundred metres long at the edge/entrance of the Scarpe river plain and dated to the end of the Saalian (SIM 6) and the Eemian (SIM 5e). The Waziers Formation was preserved by a later defluviation and the sealing by fluvio-aeolian deposits of the late Weichselian Pleniglacial (SIM 2). The synthesis of all the data and studies (lithology, palaeontology, geochronology, reconstruction of palaeotemperatures) provides a coherent picture of the evolution of the area since the end of the Saalian around 130,000 years ago to the end of the Weichselian Pleniglacial. At the base, sandy-gravelly (indicating dynamic flows) and then silty alluvium (Member 1) was deposited in the valley bottom at the end of the Saalian glacial period in a context of incipient forest reconquest. A water body then develops, allowing the sedimentation of a lacustrine chalk deposited in a Characeae marsh, followed by a peat bog (Member 2, ca. 1.5 m thick) in a forest context. A channelled stream still flows through the bog, at least intermittently, locally eroding and depositing silty alluvium. The lower part of Member 2 records the transition from the Saalian glacial (end of MIS 6) to the Eemian interglacial (beginning of MIS 5) in a context of continuous sedimentation with increasing organic content. The upper part of Member 2 records the Eemian climatic optimum in a typical peat facies, followed by the onset of climatic degradation. At the top of Member 2 (and that of the Formation) is the limit of a major erosion that did not allow the recording of the end of the Eemian interglacial. At the base of Member 3 (ca. 3 m thick) flows concentrated in deep gullies on frozen ground dismantle and rework the underlying deposits. Subsequently, flows (attributed to the Weichselian Pleniglacial) deposit a sheet of chalk gravels over the whole site in a wider active band (likely braiding). Most of Member 3 consists of fluvio-aeolian silty-sandy deposits and a thin terminal loessic deposit. The quality of the sedimentary record, with in particular continuous depo- sition at the time of the climatic transition from the Saalien to the Eemian, and the abundance of palaeontological elements (wood and plant macro-remains, macro- and meso-fauna, microfauna, avifauna, malacofauna...) in the Eemian deposits ensure the Waziers Formation is an exceptional testimony for the palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic reconstructions. The presence of levels testying to recurrent human occupations in Members 1 and 2 (with isolated flakes, heaps of debitage, traces of anthropic actions on fauna) make this site and sequence a reference for the understanding of the human settlement dynamics from the MIS 6 (Saalian) to the MIS 5e (Eemian) in Northern France but also broadly in North-Western Europe.

- Abstract
The narrow-headed vole, collared lemming and common vole were the most abundant small mammal species across the Eurasian Late Pleistocene steppe-tundra environment. Previous ancient DNA studies of the collared lemming and common vole have revealed dynamic population histories shaped by climatic fluctuations. To investigate the extent to which species with similar adaptations share common evolutionary histories, we generated a dataset comprised the mitochondrial genomes of 139 ancient and 6 modern narrow-headed voles from several sites across Europe and northwestern Asia covering approximately the last 100 thousand years (kyr). We inferred Bayesian time-aware phylogenies using 11 radiocarbon-dated samples to calibrate the molecular clock. Divergence of the main mtDNA lineages across the three species occurred during marine isotope stages (MIS) 7 and MIS 5, suggesting a common response of species adapted to open habitat during interglacials. We identified several time-structured mtDNA lineages in European narrow-headed vole, suggesting lineage turnover. The timing of some of these turnovers was synchronous across the three species, allowing us to identify the main drivers of the Late Pleistocene dynamics of steppe- and cold-adapted species.

The paleolithic site at Roc-en-Pail was discovered by chance between 1870 and 1871, in the context of quarrying activities when Prehistoric Science was at its youth. Nevertheless the lithic industries were immediate linked to the Moustier type with reference to the pioneer work of É. Lartet and H. Christy. The site was only latter largely excavated by Dr Michel Gruet, in the 1940s and 1950s then in 1969. Excavations archives from Dr Gruet together with the large collection he recovered allowed us to emphasize the scientific value of the site and to design a new field project. We aim to establish the history of researches carried at the site and to draw a knowledge review as a starting point to renewed fieldwork. We will try to determine why this site is so weakly visible in the literature whereas a five meters thick sequence with rich faunal and lithic assemblages was described by Dr Gruet. We first emphasize the confusion occurring in the literature between the Roc-en-Pail paleolithic site itself and close paleontological sites, from karstic structures. Secondly, we discuss the presence of a rockshelter, now destroyed, at Roc-en-Pail as proposed by Dr Gruet. Finally, we propose a critical review of the stratigraphy based on the preliminary results from our 2014 to 2018 excavations to highlight the interest of the site for our knowledge of Middle Paleolithic period in Western-Central France. Résumé. Le site paléolithique de Roc-en-Pail a été découvert fortuitement entre 1870 et 1871, en marge de l’exploitation d’une carrière alors que la science préhistorique n’en est encore qu’à ses débuts. Néanmoins, dès sa découverte, les industries lithiques sont rapportées au type du Moustier, en référence aux travaux pionniers d’É. Lartet et H. Christy. Il faudra attendre les recherches du Dr Michel Gruet dans les années 1940-1950 puis en 1969, pour que de véritables fouilles soient entreprises sur le site. La documentation qu’il a laissée et l’imposante collection qu’il a recueillie nous ont permis de mesurer l’intérêt du site et de mettre en place un nouveau projet de recherches de terrain. Préalablement à ces nouvelles fouilles, l’objectif de cette contribution est de dresser l’historique des recherches et d’établir un état des connaissances. Nous tenterons de cerner les raisons pour lesquelles la visibilité de ce site dans la littérature est si faible alors que le Dr Gruet avait décrit une séquence de près de cinq mètres d’épaisseur riche en vestiges lithiques et fauniques. Nous mettrons d’abord en évidence les confusions faites jusqu’à présent dans la littérature entre les occupations paléolithiques de Roc-en-Pail et des sites paléontologiques à indices d’occupation en contexte karstique. Ensuite, nous discuterons l’existence à Roc-en-Pail d’un abri-sous-roche, désormais détruit ainsi que proposé par le Dr Gruet. Enfin, les résultats préliminaires des nouvelles fouilles nous amènent à réviser les interprétations du Dr Gruet quant à l’organisation des dépôts et à la séquence archéologique afin de souligner son potentiel pour la connaissance du Paléolithique moyen dans le centre-ouest de la France.

International audience; Small vertebrates, thanks to their abundance and diversity in archaeological sites, provide a significant amount of data on the palaeoenvironmental and taphonomic context of human occupations. Moreover, the fact that they are highly habitat-dependent allows for fine palaeoenvironmental reconstructions on a local scale. It is indeed to be considered that the local environment have a direct impact on the human groups, their subsistence strategies, land use, etc. In Europe, the strong climatic variations taking place during the Late Pleistocene mark the last occupations of Neanderthal in western Europe. Following the last interglacial phase of the Eemian (MIS 5e), a climatic deterioration took place. These climatic changes had a significant impact on Neanderthal populations in Europe, their environment, and the distribution of their resources. Until now, few MIS 5 sites have yielded faunal remains, especially microfaunas, in northwestern Europe. However, recently excavated sites have yielded significant bone accumulations thanks to an exceptional depositional and preservation context. This is notably the case of four sites located in the northern half of France: Caours, Waziers, Mutzig and le Rozel. These sites allow us to apply two methods to reconstruct climatic parameters, the “bioclimatic model” and the “applied ecology” methods, which allow us to obtain notably the mean annual temperature and the summer/winter gap.The estimated temperatures correspond to a temperate environment although local specificities are present. Biodiversity is quite low, especially in the Eemian sites. This decrease in biodiversity during global warming does not correspond to what is observed in southern Europe, where palaeo-communities are well documented and where there is no significant decline in species diversity. There could therefore be a very different response to the phases of global warming between animal communities in southern and northern Europe, but more data on this latter are still required.

Aim: Many species experienced population turnover and local extinction during the Late Pleistocene. In the case of megafauna, it remains challenging to disentangle climate change and the activities of Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers as the main cause. In contrast, the impact of humans on rodent populations is likely to be negligible. This study investigated which climatic and/or environmental factors affect the population dynamics of the common vole. This temperate rodent is widespread across Europe and was one of the most abundant small mammal species throughout the Late Pleistocene. Location: Europe. Taxon: Common vole (Microtus arvalis). Methods: We generated a dataset comprised of 4.2 kb long fragment of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from 148 ancient and 51 modern specimens sampled from multiple localities across Europe and covering the last 60 thousand years (ka). We used Bayesian inference to reconstruct their phylogenetic relationships and to estimate the age of the specimens that were not directly dated. Results: We estimated the time to the most recent common ancestor of all last glacial and extant common vole lineages to be 90 ka ago and the divergence of the main mtDNA lineages present in extant populations to between 55 and 40 ka ago, which is earlier than most previous estimates. We detected several lineage turnovers in Europe during the period of high climate variability at the end of Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3; 57–29 ka ago) in addition to those found previously around the Pleistocene/Holocene transition. In contrast, data from the Western Carpathians suggest continuity throughout the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) even at high latitudes. Main Conclusions: The main factor affecting the common vole populations during the last glacial period was the decrease in open habitat during the interstadials, whereas climate deterioration during the LGM had little impact on population dynamics. This suggests that the rapid environmental change rather than other factors was the major force shaping the histories of the Late Pleistocene faunas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The narrow-headed vole, collared lemming and common vole were the most abundant small mammal species across the Eurasian Late Pleistocene steppe-tundra environment. Previous ancient DNA studies of the collared lemming and common vole have revealed dynamic population histories shaped by climatic fluctuations. To investigate the extent to which species with similar adaptations share common evolutionary histories, we generated a dataset comprised the mitochondrial genomes of 139 ancient and 6 modern narrow-headed voles from several sites across Europe and northwestern Asia covering approximately the last 100 thousand years (kyr). We inferred Bayesian time-aware phylogenies using 11 radiocarbon-dated samples to calibrate the molecular clock. Divergence of the main mtDNA lineages across the three species occurred during marine isotope stages (MIS) 7 and MIS 5, suggesting a common response of species adapted to open habitat during interglacials. We identified several time-structured mtDNA lineages in European narrow-headed vole, suggesting lineage turnover. The timing of some of these turnovers was synchronous across the three species, allowing us to identify the main drivers of the Late Pleistocene dynamics of steppe- and cold-adapted species.
