Description :
Cave entrance and rock shelter infillings are positioned within the Pleistocene chronology for three areas of France (northern Alps, Franche-Comté, and Périgord). The sites contain evidence of Middle Paleolithic (Mousterian) and/or Upper Paleolithic and/or Mesolithic industries. Differences in sedimentary records can be explained by variations in regional conditions during the last interglacial-glacial cycle and especially by the distance from the maximum advance of ice during glaciation.
