The stratigraphy of Spy cave. A review of the available lithostratigraphic and archaeostratigraphic information.
Anthropologica et Præhistorica, 123/2012:91-131.
This chapter presents a general review of the lithostratigraphy associated with the various excavations carried out at
Spy cave since the end of the 19th century, incorporating what little information is available concerning sedimentogenesis. In
addition to reviewing the types and possible causes underlying the mixed nature of the Spy archaeological material, the history of
the published archaeostratigraphic interpretations of the site is presented alongside the different techno-complexes identified
amongst the Spy material. Finally, the stratigraphic position of the Neandertal remains is considered and an overall
stratigraphy is proposed that takes into consideration the available chronostratigraphic data.
