1) the Mousterian of Acheulean Tradition (MTA): core in Southwestern France; cordiform and triangular
handaxes
2) the recent Micoquian or Keilmessergruppe (KMG): centred in Germany; backed (Keilmesser) and leafshaped
(Faustkeilblatter) bifacial tools
Additionally several more local types and entities have been dened and as a result a dense cloud of different
terminologies (in a variety of languages) and different typologies is currently in use; this severely hinders a
wider pan-European comparison. The research presented here provides a new perspective on the techno-
typological and territorial characteristics of these Late Middle Palaeolithic bifacial tools by:
- Unravelling this epistemological confusion and creating a simplied typological framework that incorpo-
rates all the existing local terms and types
- taking a macro-regional approach and incorporating the regions in between the MTA and KMG core
areas
The results of the reanalysis of 14 key assemblages from 5 countries (France, Belgium, The Netherlands,
Britain and Germany) will be presented. Are the currently identied types and territorial trends a genuine
occurrence in the archaeological record or merely an articial creation caused by the application of different
classicatory frameworks by different research traditions?

Mobility patterns of Eastern Iberian Neanderthals: archaeological and strontium isotope evidence
Zooarchaeological and spatial analyses studies from Middle Palaeolithic Eastern Iberia sites show a high
level of mobility in Neanderthal populations. Additional evidence for this mobility pattern (which is also
observed in other Iberian Neanderthal populations) is provided by short and spontaneous occupation peri-
ods of caves and rockshelters as well as by studies of alternating carnivore-human occupations in the se-
quences of the sites for this period. To provide additional evidence to evaluate the territorial range for Ne-
anderthal mobility patterns in this area we undertook laser-ablation strontium isotope analyses of enamel
and dentine from eight teeth from eight different individuals from three Valencian Middle Palaeolithic sites
in the Valencia Region. This data was compared with archaeological microfauna teeth isotope values from
each site as well as with baseline local strontium isotope values determined through the measurement of
solution strontium isotope values of modern plants and shells from the region. The value of the [

(MC-ICP-MS) coupled with the NewWave UP213 laser-ablation system.

Early Upper Palaeolithic variability in the Levant – a proposal to subdivide the Early Ahmarian
The Early Upper Palaeolithic in the Levant is currently synonymous with the Early Ahmarian industry.
Starting from a technological and typological comparison of assemblages from the Northern and the South-
ern Levant we propose to differentiate two technologically and typologically distinct variants of the Ahmar-
ian. Finally we discuss whether these differences might be interpreted as differences in chronology, regional
distribution or site function.
