Abstract
Electron spin resonance dates have been obtained on enamel from horse teeth found in Layer L 2/3 of the Lower Palaeolithic archaeological site of La Micoque. The age given by six of the seven samples analyzed is between 241 ± 15 and 288 ± 10 ka, the ages given by models that postulate early or continuous (linear) uptake of uranium by the tooth, respectively.
