Abstract. the beginning of the upper paleolithic is a watershed in european prehistory (fig. 5.1). it is generally characterized by a number of significant changes in stone and bone technology. it also roughly coincides with the appearance of fully modern humans on the continent. However, even when considering the most recent data, there is still a hiatus of about 16,000 years between the last persistence of middle paleolithic populations in central iberia, currently dated to ∼42 ka cal b.p. at several sites , and the first appearance of the upper paleolithic, as recorded at the peña capón rock shelter at ∼26 ka cal b.p. and potentially at los enebrales rock.

These issues are at the heart of the solutrean–magdalenian transition, but also broader questions in upper paleolithic archaeology. throughout the upper paleolithic, there are traces of regional histories having a significant influence on broader cultural trajectories (e.g. artistic or technological diffusion) (gonzález morales and straus, 2009; otte, 2012). The term upper palaeolithic derives from excavations in western europe—particularly south west france—from the 1860s. the uppermost pleistocene deposits of caves and rock shelters of the dordogne and neighbouring departments provided a sequence of typologically distinct lithic and organic assemblages eponymously named after french sites, notably the aurignacian (after aurignac), gravettian. The magdalenian sequence in this archaeological site is one of the most complete in the upper paleolithic from the southwest of europe. these two assemblages are compared before the upper. The final major european culture of the upper paleolithic period, from about 15,000–10,000 years ago; characterized by composite or specialized tools, tailored clothing, and especially geometric and representational cave art (e.g., altamira) and for beautiful decorative work in bone and ivory (mobiliary art).

We revisit the models of upper paleolithic forager settlement subsistence systems for the coastal greater cantabrian region of spain proposed by k.w. butzer and l.g. straus in the 1980s, with a significant new seasonality dataset from el mirón cave in cantabria (northern atlantic iberia). this large, strategically located site contains a nearly complete, archeologically rich, and well studied. The total exploitation of reindeer at the site of les petits guinards. what’s new about the annual cycle of nomadism of magdalenian groups in the french massif central?, pp. 101–11 in (fontana, l., chauvière, f. x. & bridault, a., eds.) in search of total animal exploitation. case studies from the upper palaeolithic and mesolithic.
