+
+Presumed to be under copyright.
+
+
+
+
+We are not sure Mr. Clottes wants to keep a copyright on these,
+or whether he wants to put them in the Public Domain; in either
+case, we would prefer not to jeopardize his rights, and we thus
+are preparing this release as if it were copyrighted in 1995.
+
+The translation in the original message we received was:
+"All rights reserved" so we are presuming the copyright.
+"Tous droits reserves" in the original French message...
+which is also included in this package and in English.
+
+If you want to get permission to use these for more uses than a
+private one, we suggest you contact the Minstry of Culture.
+
+Here is the permission statement we received in both French and
+English, and we are VERY glad to have received it on such short
+notice, and did not want to disturb things further by asking an
+additional time for more details.
+
+
+Monsieur,
+
+Comme suite votre courrier ilectronique du 7 fivrier dernier, je vous informe
+que M. Jean Clottes, conseiller scientifique du sous-directeur de l'archiologie
+et auteur des quatre photographies et du texte sur la grotte ricemment
+dicouverte en Ardhche, a donni son autorisation pour l'utilisation de ses
+photographies dans le cadre du projet de CD-ROM Gutenberg.
+
+Merci de ne pas oublier de mentionner son nom sur les documents publiis.
+
+
+Sir,
+
+As per your email of February 7th, I informed Mr. Jean Clottes, Scientific
+Consul to the Deputy-Director of Archeology and author of the four
+photographs and the texts concerning the cave paintings discovered
+in Ardhche, to get his authorization for the utilization
+of his photographs by the staff of Project Gutenberg's CDROM.
+
+Please do not forget to mention his name in the documents you publish.
+
+
+
+
+Following are the English- and French-language descriptions.
+
+
+
+
+AN EXCEPTIONAL ARCHEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY
+
+A Paleolithical Embellished Cave found in France (Ardeche)
+
+An exceptional archeological discovery has been made public on
+January 17, 1995, by the Minister of Culture and French-Speaking
+language (Francophonie), Mr. Jacques TOUBON.
+
+Discovered during December 1994 at Vallon-Pont-d'Arc (Ardeche,
+France), the cave, composed of several spacious galleries and
+dens, is adorned with some 300 paleolithical paintings and
+engravings (dating 18,000 - 20,000 years before present time),
+which focus on a wide variety of animals including bears, owls,
+mammooths, rhinos and felines.
+
+The cave has also retained several vestiges of human activities:
+fireplaces (hearths), entailed flints and other clues which denote an
+evolution in tools and habits. Totally left intact and untouched by any
+human intrusion throughout the ages, the cave represents and
+exceptional source of studies for archeologists.
+
+In the wake of the artistical and archeological interest spawned by
+this thrilling discovery of national and international importance, the
+Director of Cultural Heritage has signed on January 13th the
+proceedings to classify the site. (I don't know if the translation
+makes sense: a "classified site" is a site which, due to its cultural
+importance, becomes an official patrimony of the nation.) This
+urgency measure, taking effect immediately, confers the cave for
+one year the same statute and privileges which the historical
+monuments benefit.
+
+In order to ensure the preservation and the security of the cave, the
+Prefect of Ardeche has also signed on January 13 a by-law
+prohibiting the access to the cavity.
+
+Paris, January the 18th, 1995
+
+
+
+
+
+
+This is the original message we received in French.

+
+Decouverte d'une grotte
+ornee paleolithique a Vallon-Pont-d'Arc
+(Ardeche)
+
+Cliches : Ministere de la culture et de la francophonie - Direction du
+Patrimoine
+Jean Clottes. Tous droits reserves.
+
+
+Une decouverte archeologique d'une importance exceptionnelle vient
+d'intervenir dans les gorges de l'Ardeche, en limite du site naturel
+classe, en l'espece d'un vaste reseau souterrain orne d'un tres grand
+nombre de peintures et de gravures d'epoque paleolithique (vers
+18000-20000 ans avant le present).
+
+La decouverte est intervenue sur le territoire de la commune de
+Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, le 25 decembre dernier, dans le cadre d'une
+prospection archeologique autorisee au titre des dispositions de la loi
+validee du 27 septembre 1941 portant reglementation de la recherche
+archeologique de France. Elle est le fait de M. Jean-Marie Chauvet,
+agent de surveillance titulaire au sein du Service regional de
+l'archeologie (D.R.A.C Rhne-Alpes) assiste de deux benevoles Mme
+Eliette Brunel-Deschamps et M. Christian Hillaire.
+
+
+Au terme d'une desobstruction manuelle conduite dans un boyau tres
+etroit marquant le fond d'une cavite mineure s'ouvrant dans les
+falaises du Cirque d'Estre, les inventeurs ont debouche par une
+cheminee dans un tres vaste reseau totalement vierge, richement
+concretionne et recelant de nombreux restes paleontologiques en place
+(os d'ours de cavernes- Ursus spelaeus- dans leur bauge d'hibernation).
+Les galeries, fortement dimensionnees (section de 5 x 4 metres en
+moyenne), joignent plusieurs vastes salles (jusqu'a 70 x 40 metres) et
+sont, de place en place, decorees de peintures et de gravures de
+figurations animalieres isolees ou organisees en panneaux comprenant
+plus de cinquante unites dont les dimensions varient de 0,50 m a 4
+metres de long. Au total, environ 300 peintures a l'ocre rouge ou au
+noir ont ete actuellement observees et au moins autant de gravures. On
+remarque plusieurs cas de superposition, et, localement, des voiles
+concretionnes ou des griffades d'ours, l'ensemble de ces faits
+authentifiant (s'il en etait besoin) l'anciennete de ces decors.
+
+a chaque extremite du reseau visite on peut constater la presence
+d'acces anciens actuellement colmates par des eboulis et des depots
+argileux.
+
+L'ensemble des galeries parcourues cumule un lineaire de plusieurs
+centaines de metres au long duquel se developpe un bestiaire tres
+original et particulierement varie (chevaux, rhinoceros, lions, bisons,
+aurochs, ours, pantheres, mammouths, bouquetins, hiboux, etc...)
+accompagne de signes symboliques, de panneaux ponctues et de mains
+positives ou negatives.
+
+Au plan artistique, il se degage un ensemble absolument unique dans le
+Sud de la France, que son importance et son originalite placent au meme
+rang que l'ensemble figure de Lascaux meme s'il n'offre pas de
+veritable polychromie ni le meme dimensionnement des representations.
+
+Partout, les traits peints ou graves sont plus ou moins concretionnes.
+Les traits peints, vus dans leurs details, presentent l'aspect erode
+caracteristique des peintures anciennes, meme celles apparemment les
+mieux conservees. En outre, la grotte est vierge, avec des sols intacts
+et d'innombrables vestiges non touches. Dans une salle, un ensemble de
+gravures (cheval, mammouth, hibou) se trouve sur une retombee de voute
+a 5 ou 6 m du sol ; au-dessous, un vaste effondrement ancien explique
+ce qui s'est passe : une aspiration a provoque la formation de cet
+entonnoir et le sol sur lequel se trouvait l'artiste a alors disparu,
+de sorte que les gravures sont maintenant inaccessibles. Donc,
+l'authenticite est evidente.
+
+
+La zone a peintures rouges comprend plusieurs panneaux de points,
+auxquels s'ajoutent parfois des signes, y compris des signes complexes
+originaux. Les panneaux avec des animaux rouges sont divers : dans une
+petite galerie, un cerf, est suivi tout au fond, de trois ours des
+cavernes et d'un cheval. Ailleurs, un grand panneau comprend plusieurs
+ours, dont un a l'avant-train tachete, un felin lui aussi tachete sur
+le haut du corps, un bouquetin et deux mammouths. Sur une paroi se
+voient un enorme rhinoceros a la corne disproportionnee, trois autres
+rhinoceros, un mammouth, deux felins, quatre mains positives et deux ou
+trois negatives, un demi-cercles de points rouges, un grand bovine,
+un signe fait de deux demi-cercles accoles. En tout, outre les points
+et les signes, plusieurs mains negatives completes et les mains
+positives, une trentaine de representations animales rouges et deux
+petites tetes de chevaux jaunes ont deja ete denombres. L'ours domine
+suivi du mammouth, du cheval, du rhinoceros, du felin ; le cerf, le
+bouquetin, l'aurochs, les indetermines, n'etant representes qu'a un
+seul exemplaire chacun.
+
+
+
+Une centaine de figures noires a ete denombree : les rhinoceros
+dominent largement, suivis des felins puis des chevaux, les ours, des
+rennes, des bisons, des aurochs. On note la presence de mammouths, de
+cerfs megaceros, d'un bouquetin, de deux indetermines. Parmi les
+gravures, a noter 5 mammouths, 3 bouquetins, 2 rhinoceros, 2 chevaux, 1
+aurochs, 1 hibou.
+
+La facture de ces representations est excellente. Les proportions des
+corps sont naturalistes. Il s'agit surtout de dessins au trait, encore
+que certains presentent des a-plats de peinture a l'interieur des tetes
+ou des corps et un rendu savant du modele. De nombreux details
+anatomiques sont precises, de sorte que les animaux sont le plus
+souvent determinables sans ambiguite quant a l'espece et meme quant au
+sexe (femelles bisons, par exemple). Les dessins noirs ont "un air de
+famille" : la composition des panneaux, la facture des animaux, la
+technique employee partout avec une egale maitrise feraient penser a
+une meme "main". On peut legitimement se demander s'il ne s'agirait
+pas, en tres grande partie, de l'oeuvre d'une seule personne, un
+grand maitre du trait. Les recherches futures le preciseront.
+
+Par le nombre et la diversite des oeuvres, par leur qualite esthetique
+et leur conservation, par leur originalite aussi (dominance d'especes
+rares ailleurs), par la preservation du contexte, cette grotte est
+unique et d'une importance mondiale. C'est l'un des plus grand chefs
+d'oeuvres de l'art prehistorique.
+
+Au plan paleontologique, la cavite recele egalement les restes d'une
+centaine d'ursides, soit en place dans leur loge d'hibernation, soit en
+position secondaire, que les os aient ete deplaces par le passage de
+l'Homme, ou que certains cranes aient ete redisposes par lui en des
+emplacements privilegies de la grotte (par exemple au centre d'une
+salle en rotonde, sur un bloc rocheux).
+
+Cette abondance de restes dans un milieu preserve de toute perturbation
+moderne confere un second caractere d'importance a la decouverte.
+
+Au plan archeologique, il convient de souligner le caractere unique
+d'un milieu clos exempt de toute intrusion et de tout remaniement.
+Outre les figurations, l'Homme a laisse dans la cavite de nombreux
+temoins de ses activites : foyers, silex tailles, traces de torches
+d'eclairage, amenagements de blocs rocheux, agencement de restes
+faunistiques et, surtout, de tres nombreuses empreintes de cheminement
+melees a celles des ours qui ont ete leurs contemporains dans les
+galeries. On remarque egalement des points d'extraction du sediment :
+confection de boulettes d'argile, recherche d'oxydes de fer et de
+manganese pour la confection des peintures.
+
+a ce jour, il parait que la grotte est le seul reseau orne totalement
+intact qui nous soit parvenu depuis le Paleolithique.
+
+Au plan de l'etude du milieu, la tres recente ouverture de la cavite
+permettra d'en etudier la climatologie interne. Il convient aussi de
+souligner la puissance des depots sedimentaires que la reprise
+d'erosion posterieure a l'occupation humaine a permis de mettre
+ponctuellement en evidence dans des puits de dissolution diriges vers
+le reseau perenne toujours actif a ce jour. La carbonatation des
+galeries est egalement intervenue apres le passage de l'Homme, scellant
+en de nombreux points des artefacts dans la calcite.
+
+Il existe la une occasion unique d'etude naturaliste visant a retracer
+l'evolution des milieux naturels durant le dernier glaciaire et
+l'Holocene.
+
+C'est la convergence de l'ensemble de ces caracteres, deja
+exceptionnels pour chacun d'entre eux, qui confere une importance
+absolue au reseau nouvellement decouvert.

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
+computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
+exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
+from people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
+generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
+Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
+www.gutenberg.org

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
+DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
+state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
+facility: www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+AN EXCEPTIONAL ARCHEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY
+
+A Paleolithical Embellished Cave found in France (Ardeche)
+
+An exceptional archeological discovery has been made public on
+January 17, 1995, by the Minister of Culture and French-Speaking
+language <Francophonie>, Mr. Jacques TOUBON.
+
+Discovered during December 1994 at Vallon-Pont-d'Arc (Ardeche,
+France), the cave, composed of several spacious galleries and
+dens, is adorned with some 300 paleolithical paintings and
+engravings (dating 18,000 - 20,000 years before present time),
+which focus on a wide variety of animals including bears, owls,
+mammooths, rhinos and felines.
+
+The cave has also retained several vestiges of human activities:
+fireplaces <hearths>, entailed flints and other clues which denote an
+evolution in tools and habits. Totally left intact and untouched by any
+human intrusion throughout the ages, the cave represents and
+exceptional source of studies for archeologists.
+
+In the wake of the artistical and archeological interest spawned by
+this thrilling discovery of national and international importance, the
+Director of Cultural Heritage has signed on January 13th the
+proceedings to classify the site. <I don't know if the translation
+makes sense: a "classified site" is a site which, due to its cultural
+importance, becomes an official patrimony of the nation> This
+urgency measure, taking effect immediately, confers the cave for
+one year the same statute and privileges which the historical
+monuments benefit.
+
+In order to ensure the preservation and the security of the cave, the
+Prefect of Ardeche has also signed on January 13 a by-law
+prohibiting the access to the cavity.
+
+Paris, January the 18th, 1995
