Birch-tree tars (Betula sp.) have been identified in middle-Neolithic deposits of Giribaldi in Nice (Alpes Maritimes, France) in the form of aggregates or adhered to tools made from bones ; as far as we know, this is the most southern witness of the use of this product, commonly used as adhesive, medicine or perfume in northern Europe, from prehistoric time to the present day. This identification has been achieved by characterization of terpenic compounds by using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). This determination is supported by the analysis of reference products of known origin.Des brais de bouleau (Betula sp.) ont été reconnus dans les dépôts du Néolithique moyen de Giribaldi à Nice (Alpes-Maritimes, France) sous forme d ag...
