Azé Cave (Saône-et-Loire, France) has yielded, among other archaeological and palaeontological remains, a Lower Palaeolithic industry within a layer dated through faunal remains to 350 to 400 ky. This industry is made of local rocks, mostly poor-quality flint, but also chert and crystalline rocks. Only flint was definitely knapped ; chert was merely broken into pieces before being used. The knapping process takes advantage of the natural faces of the blocks and the cores, seldom completely worked, usually bear two opposite reduction faces. The flakes often show patches of residual cortex. They are moderately thick and the striking platform angle varies widely. Some of them seem to be the result of a tearing-off process. Flint pieces are hea...
