| Summary: | Research on the Palaeolithic started in Switzerland during
the 19th Century in the overall framework of cave studies.
Two different industries were soon recognized: middlepalaeolithic
flake tools usually together with the bones of
cave bear, and a late palaeolithic blade industry associated
with bone and antler tools, sculptures and line drawings. Recent research yielded complementary information on openair
sites. A characteristic Mousterian tool-kit comes from a
surface deposit at Pleigne JU, Löwenburg. New chronostratigraphic
studies in the alpine Wildkirchli cave resulted in a relatively
late date for its middle-palaeolithic layers. The late
palaeolithic open-air and cave Sites, which belong to an
evolved Magdalenian tradition, seem to concentrate around
the Bölling oscillation. Information on the final Palaeolithic
and early Mesolithic is still too fragmentary for conclusions. |
