Israel Museum Cave entrance of Raqefet Cave, where Mousterian remains have been found. The European Mousterian is the product of Neanderthals. It existed roughly from 160,000 to 40,000 BP. [6]
The Mousterian tool culture is named after Le Moustier, which was first excavated from 1863 by the Englishman Henry Christy and the Frenchman Édouard Lartet. In 1979, Le Moustier was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List along with other nearby archeological sites as part of the Prehistoric Sites and Decorated Caves of the Vézère ...

Israel Museum The Levallois technique of flint- knapping The Levallois technique ( IPA: [lÉ™.va.lwa] ) is a name given by archaeologists to a distinctive type of stone knapping developed around 250,000 to ...
Articles relating to the Mousterian techno-complex (archaeological industry) of stone tools. It is associated primarily with the Neanderthals in Europe, and to the earliest anatomically modern humans in North Africa and Western Asia. The Mousterian largely defines the latter part of the Middle Paleolithic, the middle of the West Eurasian Old ...
The Middle Palaeolithic period (c. 250,000 – c. 48,000 BCE) is represented in the Levant by the Mousterian culture, known from numerous sites (both caves and open-air sites) through the region. The chronological subdivision of the Mousterian is based on the stratigraphic sequence of the
The Jabroudian culture is a cultural phase of the Middle Paleolithic of the Levant. It broadly belongs to the Mousterian culture, and shows connections with the European facies La Quina . One of the most noticeable elements is the so-called Amoudian elements, that are the first known stone blades ever.
The manner of production is a solid continuation of the Mousterian but the ivory adornments found in association are similar to those made by the Aurignacian. [4] The technological refinement of the Châtelperronian and neighbouring Uluzzian in Central-Southern Italy is often argued to be the product of cultural influence from H. sapiens that ...
The Quina Mousterian is a variety of the Mousterian industry of the European Middle Palaeolithic, associated with Neanderthals and described by François Bordes. The Quina strategy emphasizes the production of thick and wide flakes, often bearing cortex, with the characteristic feature being scaled stepped ('écailleuse scalariforme') retouch ...
