Abstract This paper presents a re-evaluation of the archaeological record available for an economic approach of lithic assemblages, dated between 19000 and 14000 BP, from the Claise and Creuse valleys. The integrity of each lithic assemblage is accessed through the taphonomic analysis of the Fritsch Shelter and La Garenne stratigraphic sequences. This approach permits a new interpretation of the Fristch Shelter stratigraphic units and the establishment of technological relationships with lithic assemblages recovered from open-air sites in the Claise and Creuse valleys. The data revealed a variability of raw material procurement and technology of the lithic industries, both in caves and open-air settlements, between the end of the Solutrean and the Middle Magdalenian, and allows an interpretative model to be proposed in terms of settlement complementarities.
