Historical processes leading to the demise of Neanderthals are still poorly understood. The lithic industries of the last Neanderthal populations provide insights into the technical traditions of these populations. A technological analysis of lithics from three Châtelperronian layers, preserved in sequence at the cave of Quinçay, allows for a determination of the origin and the significance of Châtelperronian technical system changes over a long time period. The method for blade production is characteristic. It consists of an unidirectional debitage of blades in sequence following a two step rhythm on an angular flaking surface. Bladelet production is quite frequent and is carried out on prismatic bladelet cores with the retreat of the flak...
