Document Details : Title: The Middle Palaeolithic ensemble of Oosthoven (Belgium) Subtitle: A Techno-typological and Comparative Analysis Author(s): RUEBENS, Karen Journal: Terra Incognita Volume: 1 Date: 2006 Pages: 187-199 DOI: 10.2143/TI.1.0.2015279 Abstract : In this article the results of the techno-typological and comparative analysis of the lithic assemblage of Oosthoven (Belgium) are presented. The main conclusion of the study is the fact that the lithic assemblage of Oosthoven occupies a unique position in the Middle Paleolithic of Europe. The assemblage is a mix of Micoquian and Mousterian elements. Because of this, this collection can be interpreted as a new variant of the MTA with small handaxes with unworked bases as the type fossils, as well as MMO type B whereby the bifaces are then seen as a Micoquian element. |
