This monograph on the Central European Magdalenian aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the archaeological record of this period. It sheds new light on five regional groups between the Rhône valley to the west and the Vistula-valley to the east, which existed roughly between 20,000 and 14,000 years ago. Readers will discover that these groups are characterized with regard to their environmental setting (including faunal and vegetational aspects), lithic raw material and mollusk shell procurement, typology, technology and artesian craftworks. The work also explores an alternative interpretation of bidirectional recolonization from both Franco-Cantabria and Eastern Central Europe after the Last Glacial Maximum. This book will appeal to researchers and scholars in archaeology and cognate fields.

“The Central European Magdalenian: Regional Diversity and Internal Variability is an ambitious volume for which its author, Andreas Maier, should be congratulated. … Maier has put together a welcome addition to the literature, one that should be read by archaeologists and anthropologists interested in the Late Pleistocene, hunter-gatherers, hominin colonization, quantitative methods, and material culture of stone and bone. … Maier’s monolithic contribution has helped to point the way forward in the study of Magdalenian archaeology.” (Metin I. Eren, PaleoAnthropology, 2020)
