The Gravettian in Belgium is documented in a limited number of sites, mostly cave or rock shelter sites located in the Meuse basin, and whose excavations often began in the 19th century. Our knowledge of the Belgian Gravettian owes a great deal to the work of M. Otte, who compiled, synthesised, and structured a scattered and often imprecise documentation, enabling him to identify eight proven Gravettian sites, as well as numerous potential sites (Otte 1979; Fig. 1; Table 1). This list was subsequently extended to two additional sites, bringing the number of proven Gravettian sites in Belgium to ten (Otte & Noiret 2007). These are classified into three typological “facies” or “groups”, which together form the Belgian Gravettian sequence and whose “kinship” is attested by the recurring presence of certain tool types (tanged points, points with flat retouch/Maisières points). The knowledge accumulated over the last few decades has made it possible to approach certain aspects of this model from a different angle. The aim of this article is therefore to draw up a critical assessment of the Belgian Gravettian sequence, based on data from four major sites: Maisières-Canal, the caves and the Upper shelter of Goyet, and Station de l’Hermitage. Maisières-Canal yielded an occupation layer dated to around 32 000 cal. BP (de Heinzelin 1973; Haesaerts & Damblon 2004; Jacobi et al. 2010; Table 2), contemporary with the end of the GI-5.2 (Rasmussen et al. 2014; Fig. 2). The retouched tools include numerous burins and points. The other types represented are quite diverse and include several dozen tanged tools such as burins (Fig. 4D) or scrapers, but the backed pieces are rare and do not include any classic Gravettian type (Gravette points, microgravettes, etc.). Points include three morphological groups – Maisières points (Fig. 4E, F),tanged points (Fig. 4A-C) and shouldered points –, which are produced following a specific method that involves the detachment of flat and direct retouch flakes with an organic hammer, ...
