Shifts in Neandertal mobility, technology and subsistence strategies in western France

摘要: We propose a reassessment of Neandertal mobility strategies by crossing technological and zooarchaeological data. A broad comparative approach to the Middle Paleolithic series from western France shows that Levallois laminar flaking systems, Mousterian Acheulian Tradition (MTA) shaping system Quina discoidal-denticulate vary significantly in terms duration reduction sequences, blank versatility tool maintenance. These which prevail this context over different time periods, reflect distinct as response differing hunting practices. This new technologies related patterns gives insights into diversity. It also highlights determinant role played large game organization late societies.
