Abstract
Since the 1960s the archaeology of Middle Pleistocene Europe has undergone profound changes in methodology and theoretical orientation, accompanied by a substantial increase in behavioral information. This paper is a selective discussion of (1) topics that are poorly known in the U.S., such as the nature of the site data base and the evidence for early bone tools, (2) the congruence between American and European approaches, such as the formation-process approach, the refitting method, and studies of reduction sequences, and (3) topics that are of direct interest to English-speaking archaeologists, such as the question of behavioral differences between early European hominids and modern humans.
