The Central European Magdalenian

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the archaeological record of the Central European Magdalenian period, this monograph examines five regional groups from the Rhône valley to the Vistula valley, dating from 20,000 to 14,000 years ago. It details their environmental settings, including faunal and vegetational aspects, as well as their lithic raw material and mollusk shell procurement, typology, technology, and artisan crafts. Additionally, it presents an alternative perspective on bidirectional recolonization following the Last Glacial Maximum, making it a valuable resource for researchers in archaeology and related fields.
