The site preserves an archaeological sequence spanning the period ca. 23,000–13,000 cal BP. The analysis of the lithic materials from the sequence highlights the diachronic changes in human behavior. Results show a strong relationship between paleoenvironmental shifts and changes in settlement strategies and lithic production.

in the Eastern Rif (Morocco) since 1995 by a collaborative
Moroccan-German research team. A major topic
of the project is the transition from hunting-gathering to
food production and related cultural developments. Innovations
such as pottery and domesticated species
appeared around 7.6 ka calBP. The cultivation of cereals
and pulses is evident at that time. Two of the most
important sites in the area are Ifri Oudadane and Ifri
n’Etsedda. Both provide Epipaleolithic as well as Neolithic
deposits. While innovative technologies such as
pottery production and cultivation indicate external influences,
lithic artifacts demonstrate local technological
and behavioral traditions. Therefore, the study of lithic
industries is crucial to understanding the nature of cultural
continuity and discontinuity between the huntinggathering
and agricultural populations in the Eastern
Rif. Ifri n’Etsedda provides two distinct Epipaleolithic
deposits and thus offers the opportunity to study possible
changes throughout the Epipalaeolithic and relationship
to the later Early Neolithic (ENC). In combination
with the earlier phases of Early Neolithic assemblages
(ENA, ENB) at Ifri Oudadane, we are now in a better
position to understand the development of early-to-mid
Holocene lithic technology in the Eastern Rif.We show
that the lithic record of Ifri n’Etsedda does not indicate
any significant change in raw material supply, blank
production, and tool distribution from the Early
Epipaleolithic to the Early Neolithic B. Therefore, we
argue for behavioral continuity from the Epipaleolithic
to the Neolithic period. In contrast, the assemblages of
the Early Neolithic C show changes in lithic technology.

It gathers original, up-to-date research results on the Solutrean techno-complex, reflecting four major fields of research: data from current excavations; analysis of lithic assemblages; new results from studies on climatic conditions and human-environmental interactions; and insights into artistic expressions. New methodological and analytical approaches are applied, providing significant contributions to Paleolithic research beyond the Last Glacial Maximum.
