OSL dating places the Mousterian level within MIS 5, making Haut-Mauco one of the rare examples of an early Vasconian assemblage north of the Pyrenees. The petroarchaeological analysis highlights a raw-material economy based on the complementary use of a dominant peri-local siliceous resource (the Audignon anticline) and more occasional exogenous inputs (Tercis flint, Pyrenean flysch formations and Garonne Basin deposits). This pattern reflects a procurement territory extending over a radius of about 70<!--> <!-->km, linking the Chalosse, the Basque piedmont and the Garonne Basin. The technological analysis reveals a dual system combining Levallois and discoidal micro-debitage in flint, together with the expression of the Quina system integrated within a ramified techno-economic organization, and a macro-tool component in quartzite and quartz (bipolar-on-anvil reduction, percussion, shaping and cleavers). The assemblage reflects fragmented chaînes opératoires (reduction sequences) indicating differentiated import and export processes. The use-wear analysis identifies a diversified functional spectrum including hunting activities (weapon elements), butchery (scrapers used as knives), cutting percussion on bone and limited evidence of woodworking. These data define a specialized logistical hunting camp focused on carcass processing, probably within a seasonal mobility system. Through its composite technological signature—combining Levallois reduction, Quina-type scalariform retouch and percussive macro-tools—Haut-Mauco can be attributed to the Vasconian sphere. It likely represents an early expression of this technocomplex, predating the discoidal-dominated assemblages of MIS 3 and reflecting technical adaptations to open territories with limited flint availability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46860,"journal":{"name":"Anthropologie","volume":"130 4","pages":"Article 103507"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149153591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From 1980 onwards, following the example of local researchers and skilled amateurs, and based on the typological and technological characteristics of tools and flaking techniques, a more accurate understanding of regional lithic collections emerged, along with their cultural attribution. Meanwhile, other regions of France and countries in Europe were defining techno-complexes and specifying their regional technical traditions.

Pirro Nord (Pirro 13) links a technologically coherent flint assemblage with a rich vertebrate association and butchery traces within a karstic infill deposit, whereas Cà Belvedere di Monte Poggiolo provides an open-air context with <em>in situ</em> knapping and extensive refitting within littoral to alluvial sediments dated to the late Early Pleistocene. In both cases, reduction sequences are short and flexible, retouched tools are rare, and shaped components are absent or marginal, consistent with behavioral strategies oriented toward rapid production of functional cutting edges in open to heterogeneous environments. A second phase of increased archaeological visibility, between approximately 700 and 600 ka, is attested by Notarchirico and Loreto, within the volcanically influenced Venosa Basin, and Isernia La Pineta, within an intramontane fluvio-lacustrine setting, document increased archaeological resolution and more complex settlement palimpsests. These records show that early Middle Pleistocene technological variability cannot be reduced to the appearance of bifacial tools. Debitage remains the core of lithic production, while shaping is variably expressed and closely dependent on blank availability, raw material constraints, and functional needs, including contexts where organized reduction systems and intensive carcass exploitation occur with minimal Large Cutting Tool representation. Overall, the Italian record supports a model in which early occupations reflect low visibility, followed by a phase of recurrent land use in predictable resource zones during the early Middle Pleistocene, expressed through flexible Mode 2 systems rather than a unidirectional technological trajectory.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46860,"journal":{"name":"Anthropologie","volume":"130 3","pages":"Article 103490"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148543801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
