Lithic Weapon Elements in Western France (Brittany and Pays de la Loire) During the Late Glacial Period: A Proposed Chrono-Cultural Organization and Reduction Sequence
Abstract:In recent years, new data on the Late Glacial period in western France have allowed us to develop a model of chronocultural evolution based on comparative lithic technology and lithic hunting weapon elements. This period can be divided in to four main phases: Early Azilian, Late Azilian, Final Azilian and Auvours-type industries. Though it presents some particularities, the western Late Glacial appears very similar to that which is well documented neighbouring regions.After a succinct presentation of these cul… Show more
