Table 4. Typological counts given by Palma di Cesnola in 1963 and 1965–66 for the Laplacian types in which he conceivably could have subsumed Dufour bladelets and lunates.

(a) Includes level E/D, corresponding to spit E1, which was considered part of E-II/I in 1963 and counted separately in 1965–66;

(b) Laplacian microlithic types defined by the application of marginal retouch/backing, direct, inverse or alternate;

(c) Laplacian types Pd2 and Pd4 are included given Palma di Cesnola’s classification of many lunates as Châtelperron points, especially in the 1963 report.
