Les Néandertaliens du talon. Technologie lithique et mobilité au Paléolithique moyen dans le Salento (Pouilles, Italie méridionale)

Salento is a peninsula in Southern Italy, the heel of the Italian boot, characterised both by an abundance of Middle Palaeolithic sites and a scarcity of raw material suitable for knapping. The research question at the basis of this book concerns the managing of raw materials by Neanderthals, through both the procurement and use of the locally available raw materials and the exploitation of possibly more distant sources.
