Abstract
The Mousterian lithic industry of the Barma Grande cave is characteriz ed by a duality of the core reduction technology according to size of raw material. Generally, elongated blanks were produced by the Levallo is method primary flaking (''debitage''), while non elongated blanks w ere produced by the discoidal method of primary flaking (''debitage'') . The elongated blank allowed the re-use of a retouched edge by a resh arpening. This duality could be to assure of variety of tools types.
