Extract
Rensink advocates in favour of a renewed regional approach where the region is not just a collection of known sites. This approach, where the landscape is not considered as being around a site but as including sites, has given very rich results where it has been applied to later periods. But, the impact of man on the environment is quite negligible during the Palaeolithic and gcoarchaeological data cannot provide information about settlement organization in this period as it can in later Prehistory. Using settlements of the same chronological phase to create a kind of typology of settlements has proved useful in order to assess the functional variability of sites within a given region but is certainly a poor substitute for a real region study (Audouze et al. 1988).
