Abstract
Lazaret Cave has yielded a large mammal bone assemblage, dated to the Upper Middle Pleistocene (isotope stage six), and associated with an abundant li thic material transitionary between the Acheulian and Mousterian, as well a s a few human remains. A taphonomic and archaeozoologic study was carried o ut in order to assess the quantity of bone material introduced by humans, a nd to determine the subsistence methods and the patterns of carcass exploit ation.
