International audienceThe hypothesis of bone being used as fuel is put forward to explain the abundance of burnt bones inside bone assemblages. This utilization is often compared with the lack of wood in the surroundings of sites. Yet, utilization of bone seems to be attested all along the Upper Palaeolithic aside ambient climatic conditions. As a matter of fact, some of the occupations are contemporaneous with temparate phases when palaeoenvironmental data show the existence of a forest environment. Therefore, it is possible to consider a well-reasoned utilization of this fuel, regardless the available ligneous biomass but deeply connected to local household activities. Only the knowledge of the combustible properties of bone may bring par...
