The Middle Paleolithic Site of Combe-Capelle Bas (France)Harold L. Dibble, Michel Lenoir UPenn Museum of Archaeology, 29 janv. 1995 - 363 pages This report presents the new excavations at Combe-Capelle Bas, a Middle Paleolithic site in southern France. The site is situated directly on a source of good quality flint, and recent theories suggest that such a setting may have certain predictable effects on the lithic industries. These effects, and others relating to current models of raw material procurement and use, are discussed. |
