Main Article Content
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Nicoud E., The Acheulian phenomenon in Western Europe with a focus on Italy. (IT ISSN 0349-3356, 2011) If the Acheulian “culture” appears in Western Europe during 300.000 years (Oxygen Isotopic Stage 16 to 8), it cannot be considered as a unic phenomenon because of the technical diversity within the industries (bifaces, tools, and chaînes opératoires). Italian datas from Notarchirico, Castel di Guido and Torre in Pietra are presented in the european chronospatial framework and used to discus the “Out of Africa” diffusion patterns and the reinvention hypothesis.
