The Chatelperronian in Historical Context

The Early Upper Paleolithic industry known as the Chatelperronian has been the subject of considerable controversy since its recognition early in the twentieth century. It has variously been considered to be associated with Neandertals or with modern humans, to be an intrusive or an indigenous development, and to be related or unrelated to subsequent industries in France and Spain. The dominant views of the Chatelperronian have changed over time in ways related both to changing theoretical perspectives in paleoanthropology and to the accumulating database at archaeologists' disposal.
