Les industries a bifaces de l'Europe du Nord-Ouest au Pleistocene moyen

by Agnes Lamotte

This thesis looks at bifacial lithic industries in the Somme basin and the Escaut basin on the border of France and Belgium. A discussion of the general context of the Middle Pleistocene and its Acheulean industries precedes the evidence from the case studies. The different techniques of manufacture and a typology of different forms are described and comparisons are made between different assemblages, with a general synthesis at the end.
