A small Creswellian site at Emmerhout (province of Drenthe, the Netherlands)

Abstract

A small Late Palaeolithic site is described, that can be placed in the Creswellian tradition. The findspot can be dated to the Allerød Interstadial, or to slightly earlier or later, on the basis of its stratigraphical location in coversand. The site is tentatively interpreted as a hunting camp, because of the fact that projectile points account for more than half of the tools.
