Solutré

An archeozoological analysis of the Magdalenian horizon

Monographien des RGZM

In this monography, the results of an analysis of the fauna from the Magdalenian horizon at Solutré, Burgundy, France are presented. They show that the Magdalenians hunted mainly horses at Solutré, but also that they took relatively high numbers of reindeer and bison. Times of death of horses, reindeer and bison suggest that the site was probably used at varying times of the year and that groups of juvenile reindeer and bison were taken on a seasonal basis. One of the characteristics of the Magdalenian faunal assemblage is the extremely low number of butchery traces and high number of carnivore gnawing marks on the remains of horse, reindeer and bison.
