The last interglacial-glacial cycle in the Meuse Valley (southern Belgium) inferred from the amphibian and reptile assemblages: implications for Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans

Microvertebrate studies in archaeological contexts: Middle Paleolithic to early Holocene past environments

“…The first paper (Blain et al 2022) provides a complete study of the herpetofaunal assemblages from the Quaternary collections of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (Brussels), to propose paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions for the last interglacial-glacial cycle (marine isotope stages 5 to 1). Herpetofauna from 18 classical caves from Belgium are described for the first time.…”
