Vestiges humains des niveaux de l’Aurignacien ancien du site de Brassempouy (Landes) by Dominique Henry-Gambier, Bruno Maureille, Randall White

“…In sum, the anatomy of the European makers of the Aurignacian is so poorly known that it remains impossible to confirm that the early Aurignacian techno-complex is uniquely the product of anatomically modern populations.Although the intentional modifications of the Brassempouy human remains are presented in detail in a separate publication, we wish to emphasize here that, with primary Aurignacian burials being completely unknown, the modified human teeth from Brassempouy represent one of the rare traces of human intervention with dead bodies that might be interpreted as funerary behavior.…”
