L'utilisation du bois dans les foyers préhistoriques: une approche expérimentale

Pages 245-253 | Published online: 10 Jul 2014
 

Résumé

On présente les résultats de plus de 40 expériences (foyers à plat, en cuvette et en cuvette à bordure de pierres) avec différents types de bois (Nothofagus pumilio et betuloides, Berberis ilicifolia et buxifolia, Drimys winter, Prosopis alba. Larrea divaricata, cuneifolia et nitida, Azorella yareta, Lepidophyllum sp. Salix alba, Pinus sylvestris et Betula verrucosa) d'Argentine et de France. On souligne quelques aspects comme les problèmes de rendement du bois et la maîtrise du feu exprimés par les rapports existant entre différentes mesures (poids/volume/températures/durée de fonctionnement) qui sont en relation avec les activités des groupes de chasseurs cueilleurs.

Summary

We present here the results of more than 40 experiences (simple hearths, pit hearths and pit hearths with stone border) made with differents kinds of wood (Nothofagus pumilio and betuloides, Berberis ilicifolia and buxifolia, Drimys winteri, Prosopis alba. Larrea divaricata, cuneifolia and nitida, Azorella yareta, Lepidophylum sp. Salix alba, Pinus sylvestris, and Betula verrucosa) in Argentine and France. We underline some of the aspects related to the problems of wood economy, wood transport and fire control expressed by the relation between differents magnitudes (weigth/volume/temperatures/burning time of burning) which are in connetion with the activities of prehistoric hunter-gatherer groups.
