Le Paléolithique moyen - La technicité des Paléoanthropiens est manifestée dans le procédé de débitage levallois. Dans ses grandes lignes, cette technique consiste à préparer soigneusement le plan de frappe du nucléus par une série d'enlèvements afin d'en tirer le plus long éclat tranchant de forme diverse (éclat levallois) ou d'en extraire une pointe de forme caractéristique, la pointe levallois. - Le Moustérien compose le faciès principal du Paléolithique moyen. 2, record 1, French, - Pal%C3%A9olithique%20moyen
