Based on a selection of works carried out over the last ten years in various geomorphological and stratigraphic contexts, this thesis illustrates the contributions and limitations of the taphonomy of prehistoric sites that are mainly formed by one or more levels of objects, in order to contribute to the assessment of their state of preservation (i.e. spatial and material integrity, homogeneity). The geoarchaeological approach consists in determining, over several steps, if artifact assemblages were degraded by natural processes. This study also suggests some reasons for the global underutilisation of the main tools for carrying out this approach (such as studies of the spatial or particle size distribution of the lithic artifacts, of their ...
