Au début du Paléolithique moyen, l'industrie acheuléenne subsiste mais l'industrie de l'éclat prend de plus en plus d'ampleur. L'éclat levalloisien est large. D'abord assez épais, il s'affine bientôt et devient plat à la fin de la période. Sa forme est généralement ovale, mais certains sont allongés. (...) L'industrie primitive doit son nom au gisement le plus représentatif de cette technique, située à Levallois-Perret. 1, record 18, French, - Levalloisien

Parallèlement au travail du biface, s'est installée une industrie de l'éclat retaillé, destinée à produire des outils divers pour percer, racler, gratter ou trancher. L'abbé Breuil l'a désignée sous le nom de Clactonien. Cette industrie a pris naissance avec le Chelléen, mais s'est surtout développée au début de l'Acheuléen. 1, record 19, French, - clactonien
