The cave of Le Taillis des Coteaux, Antigny (Vienne, France) was discovered in 1998 and excavations began in 2000. The preserved stratigraphy is exceptional as it represents almost the whole Upper Palaeolithic, from the Aurignacian to the Middle Magdalenian, through the Gravetian, Badegoulian and Lower Magdalenian.

It has provided an archaeological assemblage with original typotechnological features evoking the Magdalenian. However, its dating to around 17000 BP is closer to the Badegoulian. The main characteristics of the lithic industry are described, particularly bladelet production. Its relationship with the Lower Magd...
