Répartition spatiale et technologie de l'industrie lithique du gisement paléolithique moyen de Seclin (Nord): première approche

Abstract

The site of Seclin (Nord) has displayed a very interessing industry belonging to a singular faciès of the Middle Palaeolithic. The present paper describes the first observations about the spatial repartition of the flint industry and reveals several archaeological levels. The industry exhibits chiefly numerous elongated levallois blades associated with an original set of tool. The first technological results suggest a particular technics of debitage from discoïds and protoprismatics cores. Both the extent of the excavated area and the stableness of the industry charaters through the archaeological sequence have permitted to name this original facies : "faciès de Seclin".

Psychological components of middle paleolithic technology: The proceduralization of lithic core reduction

“…Effective ways for reconstructing and illustrating sequential data in lithic reduction studies exist most notably in the form of the lecture des schemas diacritiques method used in many examinations where tracking the pattern of core reduction is the primary objective (Allard, 2005;Bar-Yosef and Meignen, 2003;Boëda, 1986Boëda, , 1988Boëda, , 1995Grimm, 2000;Jaubert and Farizy, 1995;Meignen, 1995;Morala et al, 2005;Révillion, 1988;Vallin et al, 2006;Wilkins et al, 2010). In such cases, outlines of lithic cores are drawn with their flake scars numbered in sequence indicating the order in which each flake was removed.…”

Loess formation and chronology at the Palaeolithic key site Rheindahlen, Lower Rhine Embayment, Germany

“…In the spectrum of finds, blades, miniature cores, blanks, and Kostenki ends, which are characteristic of the Rheindahlien or Moustérien à lames, stand out. This assemblage is found in the Middle Rhine area (Conard, 1992;Conard et al, 1995Conard et al, , 2015, in Belgium (Otte, 1994), and in northern France (Révillion and Tuffreau, 1994b;Delagnes and Ropars, 1996;Locht et al, 2016), where the corresponding find layers date to MIS 5a to 5a (cf. Conard, 1990;Delagnes, 2000).…”

Black Feminist Theory in Prehistory

“…One example is the origins of the Châtelperro-nian, a Neandertal-associated Upper Paleolithic (blade-based) tool tradition. It seemed too much of a coincidence that Neandertals independently developed blade-based tool production at about the same time as anatomically modern humans arrived in Western Europe, though Riel-Salvatore (2010) argues otherwise, and Neandertals did in fact produce blades in northern France well before the arrival of anatomically moderns (Revillion 1988), blending elements of Levallois and prismatic techniques (Gamble 1999;Mellars 1996). It is also during the Châtelperronian that we first see worked bone and ivory in Neandertal sites such as Arcy-sur-Cure (d 'Errico et al 1998'Errico et al , 2003Higham et al 2010;Hublin et al 2012), again commonly thought to have been a case of diffusion from the new hominins in Europe or explained by stratigraphic issues (Bailey and Hublin 2006;d'Errico et al 1998d'Errico et al , 2003, though Soressi et al (2013) describe a case of Neandertal bone working that appears to date to well before the arrival of anatomically moderns.…”
