Descripción
Refers to a period and culture associated with a distinctive type of stone toolmaking in prehistoric Europe and Africa, which gradually replaced the Acheulian tradition in Europe during the Third Interglacial period and continued into the Fourth Glacial period. The style is characterized by the use of a prepared core shaped like an inverted tortoise shell, from which large flakes were struck.
