"The site of La Quina southwest France (Fig. 1a) is one of the most famous European Palaeolithic sites. Discovered at the end of the 19th century this rock shelter was investigated during four main excavation periods (1905‚Äì1936; 1953‚Äì1972; 1985‚Äì1994; 1994‚Äì1998) by L. Henri-Martin his daughter G. Henri-Martin a team led by A. Deb?©nath and A. Jelinek and V. Dujardin respectively. The deposits extend over more than 300 m along the foot of a limestone cliff flanking the left bank of the Voultron River (Fig. 1b). The site is composed of two main loci: Station Amont and Station Aval. Ten trenches (A‚ÄìP) perpendicular to the cliff were excavated by L. Henri-Martin at Station Amont while three (X‚ÄìZ) were excavated at Station Aval. Excavations conducted at Station Aval uncovered deposits containing Ch?¢telperronian and Aurignacian industries. Six metres of Mousterian deposits were excavated at Station Amont." from Verna C. & d'Errico F. The earliest evidence for the use of human bone as a tool.
