Abstract: It is commonly believed that it is only from the neolithic period that one can speak about economy. Before the developement of this economy of production – based on farming and lifestock farming – the economy of hunther-gatherer is restrained to autarky or subsistence economy. Our purpose is to demonstrate that even during the mesolithic period, the economic activity was already quite developped. Even if it was less developed than during the neolithic period, the mesolithic economy was quite similar by nature to the neolithic one's. Therefore it should rather be considered as proto-neolithic.
