The refitted block illustrates the trimming and processing of an opposed platform core, which counts 41 fitting elements (including small fragments). The trimming includes the preparation of the back of the core, one side and two striking platforms. The process has been reconstructed with 19 fitting flakes. The exploitation is documented by seven refitted blades. Apart from these refitted were three platform rejuvenation flakes and a burin with a burin facet
