Abstract
- Abstract: This paper presents a synthesis of current knowledge on the Magdalenian in the Paris Basin. An inventory of sites and a review of the available radiocarbon dates are used to discuss the peopling of this region over a long period, covering the successive Badegoulian, Middle and Upper Magdalenian cultures. A large part of this synthesis is then devoted to the Upper phase of the Magdalenian, which today benefits from an abundant record obtained through several decades of research conducted using a palethnographic approach. The habitation sites, mobility patterns and subsistence strategies of human groups are discussed from a multidisciplinary perspective integrating the most recent discoveries. These discoveries allow the proposal of a model of territorial occupation based on reduced and small scale mobility patterns. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
