Frédéric BLASER, Patrice WUSCHER, Romana BLASER, Jean BRUANT A MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC OCCUPATION AT LA BUTTE DES "HAUTS FRESNAIS" AT BALLAINVILLIERS (ESSONNE)

Abstract

A small Middle Paleolithic lithic series (38 pieces) was discovered during an archaeological field evaluation undertaken in 2007 by Inrap. The interest of this set lies in its spread, covering a surface of more than 20 m², its state of preservation, the refitting of pieces and its typo-technological characteristics which can be compared to the Verrières-le-Buisson industry, which has been attributed to the West European Micoquien.
