Moreover, the Siuren I rock-shelter is still the only Crimean Aurignacian site. Taking into consideration the uniqueness of Siuren I in the Crimea, before discussion of new investigations of the site during the 1990s and their results, it is useful to describe previous investigations and interpretations of the archaeological record at the site. This background will help to explain both the methodology employed during our new investigations and our attempt to understand the entire archaeological context of the site in the framework of modern Paleolithic research.

Table 1 gives the results obtained (in stratigraphic order from top to bottom), while table 2 shows the (long) series of samples that failed, with laboratory comments.

Les analyses technologiques et typologiques des artéfacts lithiques découverts dans les Unités F, G et H confirment la présence en Europe orientale de deux industries aurignaciennes différentes, réalisée par les Hommes anatomiquement modernes autour de 28500 ans BP. La faible proportion d’outils micoquiens, ayant pour artisans les Néanderthaliens, trouvée dans les unités G et H, suggère une alternance d’occupations par des Néanderthaliennes et des Hommes anatomiquement modernes (Demidenko 2000). Les informations qu’offre le site de Siuren-I sont donc de première importance en ce qui concerne la possible co existence de deux groupes humains auteurs d’industries différentes, lors de la période de transition entre le Paléolithique moyen et le Paléolithique supérieur. Les analyses des restes fauniques, d’abord taphonomiques, attestent d’une accumulation anthropique des vestiges osseux et suggèrent une alternance relativement rapide des occupations humaines. Les études archéozoologiques suggèrent une acquisition opportuniste des proies dans un environnement qui devient plus forestier vers le haut de la séquence et un traitement différentiel des carcasses selon la taille de l’animal, et ce, quelle que soit l’Unité archéologique. Le site semble avoir servi à plusieurs reprises de campements temporaires. La continuité dans les stratégies de subsistance suggère une homogénéité comportementale entre les Préhistoriques du Paléolithique moyen et ceux du Paléolithique supérieur. Siuren-I is a stratifi ed rockshelter situated in Crimea (Ukraine) with a long archaeological sequence. Technological and typological analyses of the lithic artefacts discovered in units F, G and H confi rm the presence of two different Aurignacian assemblages, produced by anatomically Modern Humans, around 28 500 yrs BP in Eastern Europe. The small proportion of Micoquian tools, attributed to Neanderthals, found in units G and H, suggests a succession of Neanderthal and modern human occupations (Demidenko 2000). The information that the site of Siuren-I can provide is important to answer the questions raised by the possible coexistance of the two authors of those different industries, in the transitional period between the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic in Europe. The analysis of the faunal remains, beginning with taphonomic analyses, attests to the an thropic nature of their accumulation and suggests a relatively fast alternation of the human occupations. The archaeozoological studies propose an opportunistic acquisition of prey and a differential treatment of the carcasses according to their size, and this, throughout the archaeological sequence. The site seems to have been used, more than once, as temporary camp. Continuity in the strategies of subsistence suggests a behavioral homogeneity between the Middle Palaeolithic people and Upper Palaeolithic people.
