Culture

All the levels at the Lower-Sites at Veldwezelt-Hezerwater could be interpreted as Neanderthal surface flint removal sites with the presence of several knapping workshops.
It is still hard to say something about the absolute chronology of the VLL-Site and the VLB-Site.
However, on stratigraphic grounds, we think that it is safe to say that they should be dated to the delayed Saalian Zeifen Interstadial.
This suggestion is supported by the presence of charcoal , which suggests that the climate during this Pre-Eemian occupation stage was temperate.
