“…The sequence begins with a phase characterized by small laurel leaves and unifacial points (Allain 1989;Aubry et al 2007;Smith 1966). The Upper Solutrean is better known, both in open-air sites and caves or rockshelters (Allain 1989;Aubry 1991;Aubry et al 2007a;Trotignon et al 1984;Vialou and Vilhena 2012). The Maîtreaux open-air site, located near an outcrop of large flint nodules, illustrates raw material management from its sources to its different destinations and the context of the use of lithic assemblages during this period.…”
