The shift from Lower to Middle Palaeolithic in northwestern Europe (dated to around 300,000250,000 years ago) remains poorly understood and underexplored compared to more recent archaeological transitions. During this period, stone tool technologies underwent significant changes but the limited number of known sites and the general low spatiotemporal resolution of the archaeological record in many cases has impeded detailed behavioural inferences.Brickyardquarrying activities at KesseltOp de Schans (Limburg, Belgium) led to the discovery and excavation of a wellpreserved early Middle Palaeolithic level buried beneath a 10m thick loesspalaeosol sequence. The present volume offers a comprehensive report on the site, dated to around 280,000 years ago, set against a wider northwestern European context. An indepth study of the lithic assemblage, including an extensive refitting analysis, provides detailed information on the technological behaviour of prehistoric hominins in the Meuse basin during this crucial time period.With free digital appendicesContributors Jozef J.
