Abstract
⺠A new database on the particle size composition of experimental lithic assemblages has been built. ⺠Particle sorting processes due to water flow are reviewed. ⺠Comparison between the database and French Palaeolithic assemblages shows that many sites have been sorted upon burial. ⺠Sorting has a significant impact on the techno-typological balance of the assemblages.
