Beginning in 1985, De Loecker participated in the annual excavation program and used the experience as the basis of this, his doctoral dissertation, which he began in 1992. He also took part in a program between 1994 and 1999 investigating the cultural adaptations of Pleistocene hunter-gatherers in Northern Europe during the past 500,000 when climate fluctuations resulted in the ebb and flood of hominid presence. Here he summarizes the geology, palaeoenvironment, and dating; Middle Palaeolithic technology; sites and finds; and patterns of behavior and spatial aspects of technology.
