L’abri sous-roche du Rozel (France, Manche) : un habitat de la phase récente du Paléolithique moyen dans son contexte géomorphologique
Located on the Western coast, the Rozel provided an archaeological complex characterized by two occupation levels. The shelter has preserved traces of a habitat with combustion structures, lithic tools, and faunal remains, an exception on the Cotentin peninsula. The settlement is located in littoral...

Located on the Western coast, the Rozel provided an archaeological complex characterized by two occupation levels. The shelter has preserved traces of a habitat with combustion structures, lithic tools, and faunal remains, an exception on the Cotentin peninsula. The settlement is located in littoral dune upon a complex raised beach.Initially attributed to an Early Perigordian occupation, this site has been reinvestigated from a stratigraphic and cultural point of view. The Rozel shelter is the only occupation in the region presenting a mixed lithic industry. The raw materials used for tools are vein quartz found inside the shelter, and flint cobbles from the active gravel ridges. The successive gravels ridges raised step by step during the weichselian regression were rapidly buried by drift dune sands limiting exploitation of there high content of suitable flint knapping nodules. In the two occupation layers “debitage” seems to be oriented to the production of predeterminated flakes (manly Levallois technique) and elongated flakes. An operating procedure ‘laminaire de type paléolithique supérieur’, has been revealed in the upper floor, in relation with the main occupation of the site.
