- Title
La fin du Paléolithique en Rhénanie (Magdalénien, groupes à Federmesser, Ahrensbourgien).

- Abstract
In this article Harald Floss surveys the evolution of the supply strategies for raw minerals in the Rhineland Late Glacial (Germany). In this perspective, following the presentation of the various Rhine valley raw materials and their use throughout the Palaeolithic, the author compares the lithic industries of the Magdalenian, the Federmesser (Azilian) groups, and the Arhensburgian. First, the different ways in which raw materials were acquired and transported are examined. Then, the evolution of raw material procurement processes is interpreted in terms of changes in mobility patterns by reference to L. Binford's model. Lastly, the author proposes explaining the changes in mobility patterns in relation to the climate and environmental modifications characterising the Late Glacial.
