Magdalenian social geographies in Western Europe
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
Known for its widespread and impressive art, the Magdalenian had been studied for over a century and a half. Extensive research on the period has provided us with a very comprehensive archaeological record, which still provides information on prehistoric hunter-gatherers' lifestyle, set in different environments. The objective of this symposium is to present current research on hunter-gatherers' social behavior, and inter- and intra-regional interactions in the context of the late glacial Upper Paleolithic Europe, and thus, to summarize our current knowledge of this important archaeological period. The presentations, encompassing research done via computational modeling, GIS, empirical studies, and experimental archaeology, will combine multi-disciplinary viewpoints into one comprehensive overview of the Magdalenian.
