International audience We present radiometric, palaeoclimatological, palaeoenvironmental and archaeological data for the period 40 000–8000 cal BP in the Jura Mountains (eastern France). These mountains culminate at ∼1700 m a.s.l. and are today characterised by a semi-continental climate. During the...
