Abstract
This paper deals with a geoarchaeological study developed at the Epigravettian settlement of Mezhyrich (Ukraine) in the frame of the French ANR project “Mammouths”. Based on a microstratigraphic analysis of a complex loess sequence, this approach has provided a large set of complementary data focusing on archaeology, environment and chronology, which document the activities of the Epigravettian hunters at the site between ca 18,300 and 17,400 before present, during a cold period characterized by strong climatic and environmental contrast.
