In recent years, the Late Glacial period of Western France has been the scene of exciting new research. Prior to this research, the human occupation of Western France at the very end of the Pleistocene was seldom considered in discussions of European Prehistory. The presence of few stratified sites and the acidic soils of the Armorican Massif, which preserve few organic remains, are probably to blame for this treatment. A systematic study of assemblages collected in the 1970s-80s and the excavation of new sites allow us to re-examine the Final Palaeolithic of Western France. This new research has allowed us to propose a new chrono-cultural organization of the lithic industries. Because few sites are well-dated or stratified in Western Franc...
