This book presents the major tool types of European Lower and Middle Paleolithic. Building on the typelist of the late Francois Bordes, with many forms that have been recognized since, it presents working definitions of the types with illustrations and discussions of the variability inherent to lithic typologies. The authors combine classic typological views with current notions of lithic typological variation.This handbook represents not only an important reference source for gaining a practical understanding of how Lower and Middle Paleolithic typology is applied but also of the nature of lithic variability in other kinds of assemblages. It will be indispensable to scholars and students of prehistory, and be an invaluable resource for both the professional and the layperson interested in understanding this major body of evidence of the human past.
