摘要

The review of the lithic assemblage which was discovered in Mancy (Loiret, France) raised a few questions regarding its cultural attribution. By the end of the 1980s, characteristics of the blade knapping had led some authors to date this assemblage to the Upper Magdalenian. However, today, the existence of several microgravettes and numerous "burins-cores" from which blanks of microgravettes seem to originate indicates that part of the assemblage might be dated to the Gravettian (more specifically its recent period). Moreover, given new research on this topic, it cannot be excluded that blade knapping might also be dated to the Gravettian.
