Lithic Production from the Middle Palaeolithic of Belgium : Variability of Raw Material Procurement Systems and Technologies as a Response to a Mosaic of Contrasting Environments ; Les productions lithiques du Paléolithique moyen de Belgique : variabilité des systèmes d'acquisition et des technologies en réponse à une mosaïque d'environnements contrastés

Belgium is noted for its many ancient prehistoric sites which are spread over a limited geographic area. Despite its limited size, this area shows important regional contrasts in terms of topographic relief and availability of mineral resources. These factors in conjunction with important regional differences related to the types of sites represented (cave/open air) as well as the proximity and morphology of the available flint make this area favorable for the study of man's relationship with his environment. The connection between the Neanderthal populations and the types of environments enco... Mehr ...
