Abstract
IN 1930, Dr. A. Cheynier described a newly-discovered industry of Early Magdalenian age, located at Badegoule in the valley of the Vézère, characterised by a large number of end- and side-scrapers made on flakes and showing vertical edge-trimming. He termed these specimens ” raclettes”1. Mr. A. S. Barnes, who has made a special study of the Upper Palæolithic phases of the Dordogne, refers to this culture in a paper on the Magdalenian period of France, in which he records the close similarity between the edge-trimming on these raclettes and on eoliths2.
