During OIS 8 to 5e, the differences between the lithic series relate to the knapping and shaping function and also to the presence or absence of bifaces. During that time, in Europe, there is no clear evidence of real ruptures in typo-technology except in the shapes of the bifaces and the presence of specific knapping methods (Quina, laminar, Levallois, Discoïd). However, during OIS 5d and especially the OIS 3, changes are noticeable and similarities between France and Central and Eastern Europe become more common. They are the signature of the migratory movements of Neanderthals modelled on that of the fauna. Evidence for this in the North-Eastern region of France and beyond this region is provided by typological and technological aspects like Kostienki thinning, plano-convex biface, flat retouching, bipointed tools, handle to tools, clearly evoke affinities with Poland (Prondniks), Germany (blattspitzen), leafpoints (Central Europe), scrapers and bifacial tools from Crimea. Undoubtedly, these are the best neanderthal craftmanship demonstrations that allow us to propose much more precise migration routes like danubian way or the plains of northern Europe and when they were used during the late middle Palaeolithic.Show less >
