International audienceOne of the major concerns of Palaeolithic archaeology is understanding the various natural and anthropogenic processes underlying the formation of archaeological palimpsests. Many Middle Palaeolithic sites comprise rich accumulations of lithic and faunal remains. Here we explore variations in artifact types and inter-material densities encountered during new excavations at the lower shelter of Le Moustier. To this end, we mobilise spatial and taphonomic data to assess the multiple depositional and post-depositional processes responsible for the composition and organization of archaeological material. A combination of geoarchaeological information with density calculations, particle size distribution of lithic objects, ...
