The lithic assemblages of Pech de l’Azé IV (Dordogne, France)

p. 9-43

Abstract

The late François Bordes excavated the site of Pech de l'Azé IV from 1970 through 1977. The site produced a deep, rich sequence of Mousterian industries including Typical Mousterian, Mousterian of Acheulian Tradition, and the previously unknown Asinipodian along with a well preserved fauna. Though Pech de l'Azé IV, along with Pech I and II, is well known and has played an important role in our current understanding of Mousterian variability, it has not been fully analyzed or published. This article reviews what is currently known of the site and presents some preliminary results from a new project to finish the analysis and to subsequently publish the collections.
