Such boilers were frequently recycled for their valuable metal content. This example, by contrast, was buried close to where it once stood-perhaps in connection with the ritual deposit of complete animal carcasses around the bath house. The symbolic associations of the boiler are suggested by decorative elements including the mask of a bearded man, argued to represent Okeanos, a divine personification of the sea. The nearcomplete state of the boiler also provides new insight into the processes used in its manufacture from lead and copper alloys.

At that stage, already a full domestication of plants and animals is evident. Many questions have been raised concerning the origins of this culture, and its end is also still obscure. Relations with societies in the north-Mesopotamian area have again recently been evidenced at its beginnings. Mentesh Tepe, with its exceptional succession of occupations from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age, could help providing some clues for the links between the Neolithic and the Chalcolithic periods. The site is presented here under different points of views (architecture, burials, material culture) but in a preliminary stage since many studies are still in progress. Questions are raised about the climate and the apparent absence of pre-and post-Shomu-Shulaveri Culture possibly due to silting or erosion processes linked with the mobility of the Caspian Sea level.

The very important interdisciplinary work that has been overtaken (stratigraphy, sedimentology, micromorphology, malacology, palynology and TL-IRSL dating) has led to the detailed characterisation of three overlapping Glacial-interglacial sequences (cumulative thickness* 19 m), dating from the Younger Middle Pleistocene (MIS 8/7 and 7/6), to the Upper Pleistocene (MIS 5 to 2) (± 300 to 15 ka BP). In addition this study has provided a very complete record of the Weichselian Early-Glacial period (± 112-70 ka BP), and an exceptionally developed mterstadial soil complex corresponding to the Weichselian Middle Pleniglacial (± 55-30 ka BP). In an area where the data concerning loess, and especially Mi...

This history begins in the Boreal (between 9500 and 8850 cal. BP), with the deposition of tufa, expressing a stabilized river bed. During the second part of the sub-Boreal the water-table was low. At the beginning of the sub-Atlantic (towards 2800/2700 cal. BP), alluvial dynamics increase, as is recorded elsewhere throughout the Paris Basin. At the beginning of the second part of the sub-Atlantic (around 2000 cal. BP), flood dynamics persisted at a lower intensity. Human occupation occurred from the fifth century AD. Before or around the beginning of the seventeenth century AD, a natural levee was built, indicating the progressive attachment of the Quai-Branly area to the floodplain. The hydrodynamic evolution of the River Seine observed...

Our reconstruction makes use of a bio-chronostratigraphic approach based on pollen analyses, geochronological (radiocarbon dating and dendrochronology) and geomorphological analyses, while also taking into consideration the archaeological data. Using comparisons with previous work carried out both in Paris and in the nearby area, our observations can be placed in the context of the Holocene evolution of the River Seine within the Paris Basin.
