Show more >The Bábonyian was described in 1983 as a cultural unit of the Middle Palaeolithic with bifacial tools. From this point of view, it belongs to the Micoquian/Keilmessergruppen technical tradition. After several excavations, new archaeological investigations were carried out on the eponymous site in the framework of the ongoing French-Hungarian research program “The Palaeolithic of Hungary” archaeological mission MEAE. The complete study of the lithic assemblages of all excavations provides to review the characteristics of the Bábonyian. In this presentation, we deal with some aspects of the lithic industry: spatial distribution of the artefacts, the composition of the lithic assemblage by raw materials, artefact dimensions, main technological categories and typology. The toolkit is dominated by bifacial tools and leaf points, while scrapers and endscrapers are the most frequent among retouched flake toolsShow less >
