description The main difficulty in studying the engraved stones of the upper Paléolthic period is the decipherment and the understanding of the various overlapping traces on the surfaces. Scientific research in paleolithic art is trying since more than 20 years to use modern laboritory devises and techniques like the Scanning Electron Microscope and more recently the 3D scanning. For the engraved stones of the site of La Marche have been studied by 3D microtopography as a complementary technique. This non destructif protocole made a new approach of engraving technology and motif composition possible (chronology of the lines, traces morphology etc.). This leads to better understanging of the techniques and gestures used by prehistoric artists. Moreover studies of this type can give more informations obout the function and the history of the stones in a prehistoric rockshelter and by this way the role of theses stones in the life of the magdaleanian hunter-gatherer communities.
