Lincombian-Ranisian-Jerzmanowician (LRJ) was a culture or technocomplex dating to the Middle to Late Paleolithic, about 43,000 years ago. It is characterised by leaf points made on long blades, which are thought to have been made by the last Neanderthals, although some researchers have suggested that it could be a culture of the first European homo sapiens sapiens. It is rarely found, but extends across northwest Europe from Wales to Poland.
