Magdalenian (
17000 – 11000 BP )
It
is difficult to speak about the magdalenien in general
because there are so many things to say. All the
collectors know the abundant literature on the most
famous sites: La Madeleine (the eponym site) Laugerie, le
Placard… and on the magdalenian art : Lascaux,
Altamira, Rouffignac, Font-de-Gaume and so much of others.
I would make just a little development on lithic industry.
The magdalenian is characterized by a particularly
advanced control of the debitage, especially in the
technique of blades debitage, much of tools or flint
projectile points are made on blades. Breuil and Peyrony
built a diagram of the evolution of the magdalenian
according to the excavations which had been made on the
great sites of Dordogne and Pyrenees. This diagram rests
on typical tools especially in antlers (assegais,
harpoons), although the magdalenian comprises also many
other types of tools (burins, scrapers, borers) which
were found also in all the periods of the upper
paleolithic. It is still discussed to know if these
subsystems could be chronologically linear ou
simultaneous ; in the same way, other type of magdalenian
lithic industries were found in Germany, in Poland or in
Spain and call it in question.
