Abstract

(pp. 37-38)

The tentative but clear identification of these four or five groups within the Northwestern European microlithic culture in the territory of the Netherlands and Belgium illustrates the utility of the method here presented. It is noteworthy that all C14 dates from sites of this region so far obtained are between 7210 and 7970 (7270 ± 60; 7430 ± 110; 7435 ± 120; 7460 ± 100; 7470 ± 70; 7485 ± 100; 7525 ± 200; 7635 ± 90; 7720 ± 70; 7775 ± 60; 7970 ± 75). Only the site of De Leien, which belongs to the Northern core axe culture, has given a result of less than 7000 years old, i.e. 6960 ± 140.
