The Magdalenian refers to one of the later cultures of the Upper Paleolithic in western Europe. It is named after the type site of La Madeleine, a rock shelter located in the Vezere valley, commune of Tursac, in the Dordogne department of France. Blade industries which showed already first tendencies of the Microtools were typical, how they became characteristic in the Mesolithicum. The bone harpoon and points are can most distinctive chronological markers within the typological sequence. Examples of Magdalenian mobile art include figurines and intrically engraved projectile points, as well as items of personal adornment including sea shells, perforated carnivore teeth and fossils.
