Socio-economic dynamics of Magdalenian hunter-gatherers: Functional perspective.

ABSTRACT: The beginning of the Middle Magdalenian is marked by an increase in the density and geographic extension of evidences of human occupation across western Europe. The Early Middle Magdalenian (19,5-17,5 ka cal.
