The recognition and concomitant study of discoid flaking procedures in Early and Middle European Palaeolithic lithic assemblages, is at a very early stage. This volume contains fifteen studies which present new data and research from sites in France, Spain, Italy, Hungary and the Czech Republic. The contributors seek to add clarity to the definition of this flaking method and to study variability in techno-morphological features, and in the use and procurement of raw materials. Papers in French and English; abstracts in English, French and Italian.
