Abstract

The Magdalenian occurred during the final phases of the Pleistocene, following the Glacial Maximum about 18,000 b.p. Dynamic oscillations of glacial advance and retreat resulted in major changes during the Magdalenian period, although the climate can be characterized as predominantly cool to cold. Precipitation was generally very low, as much of the world’s water was locked up in the continental glaciers. It must be realized that the climatic periods listed below are considered time-transgressive, that is, the actual dates of climatic and environmental changes vary from region to region, according to location and proximity to the major glacial phenomena. Warming events and interstadials were felt first in the southern regions and only later in the northern regions. This is further complicated during the Magdalenian by the notorious “radiocarbon plateau,” which yields equivalent dates for a couple of thousand years (c. 13,000-11,000 b.p.) at the end of the Magdalenian period, when significant climatic oscillations (stadials and interstadials) were occurring.
