Abstract
Recent excavations have provided more exact evidence about the relationship between different fades of the Perigordian V complex in south‐western France. Various previous classifications and interpretations are discussed and the contrast is now pointed out between assemblages where the emphasis is placed on either Gravettes and microgravettes, or Noailles burins or flat burins (burins plans). These three aspects are shown by excavations, especially at Le Flageolet, to be broadly contemporary and not necessarily mutually exclusive.
