Spearheaded by members of the Prehistoric Ethnology team (UMR 7041), “Project 2ARC” seeks to preserve, showcase history, heritage, and the memory of documents concerning the archeological digs carried out since the 19th century, especially those of André Leroi-Gourhan (1946-1963), in the different caves of the Arcy-sur-Cure range. The lack of a general synthesis of these operations, and the risk of losing the memory and history of one of the greats of French archeological research, drives the digitization of this extremely fragile written and photographic documentation. Following an initial wave of digitization and preservation of unique documents (2013-2015), this project will create an accessible database.
2ARC is part of a larger venture (“Vers Arcy”), led by the team “Prehistoric ethnology.” The exploration of the Arcy caves represents the central core of a larger project that seeks a better understanding of the dynamics of a Paleolithic settlement in the Parisian Basin.
