The term "Mousterian" refers to a style of predominantly flint tools associated primarily with Neanderthals and dating to the Middle Paleolithic, the middle part of the Old Stone Age. These tools are characterized by their variety, including points, scrapers, knives, handaxes, and denticulates, and are named after the site of Le Moustier, a rock shelter in Dordogne, France, where such artifacts were first discovered.
