Multi-method (TL and OSL), multi-material (quartz and flint) dating of the Mousterian site of Roc de Marsal (Dordogne, France): correlating Neanderthal occupations with the climatic variability of MIS 5-3

► OSL and TL ages on different materials are compared. ► Radioactivity heterogeneities are discussed at different scales. ► Ages allow discussing climate variability in southwest France during MIS 5-3. ► Composite faunal spectra corresponding to a transition phase are dated to MIS 4.
