Submission status
Closed
This collection is devoted to the first peopling of Europe (chronology, behaviour and environment) and the question of bifacial shaping over time and space. Papers discuss recent data regarding the earliest occupations in Europe and investigating the onset of the bifacial phenomenon, not only in Europe, but also in Asia and Africa. This collection covers a wide diversity of specialties and territories, from the first occupations to recent bifacial productions.
