Le Paléolithique supérieur de la basse vallée de la BistriÅ£a (Moldavie roumaine) : Buda et Lespezi, nouvelles recherches

Upper Palaeolithic sites are numerous in the Bistriţa valley, especially in the upstream section of the river, in the Ceahlǎu basin (Eastern Carpathians) where many settlements have been recorded since the first rescue excavations in the 1950s. Recent field investigations focused on the two sites of the Lower Bistriţa valley, Buda and Lespezi excavated at the end of the 1950s and in the 1960s. Archaeological material (lithic assemblages and remains of large mammals) attributed to Gravettien settlements (Buda: 23.4 ka; Lespezi: 24.6-17.6 ka) has been revaluated.
