Lat. 47° 27' 57" N Long. 005° 51' 46" E (Mapdatum WGS 84) |
| Co-ordinate precision: | The coordinates given here are at the eastern end of the wider area where we did our sampling. The original excavation at Blanc-Saule lies about 30 arc-seconds to the West of the coordinates given here. As usual the location was taken with a handheld GPS receiver and is accurate enough to get you within metres of where we were standing. |

FlintSource sample 254. The whole area belongs to the mining complex designated F 56 in the catalogue of the museum in Bochum, 3rd edition (Weisgerber et al. (eds.) 1999), although strictly spoken this number only refers to the mining site Blanc-Saule at Etrelles-et-la-Montbleuse. According to the coordinates given in Affolter 2002, this site is almost identical with Affolter's sampling spot O 59 Vantoux/Les Fournets. |
