摘要：Early descriptions of the Magdalenian as L’Age du Renne provided a stereotype of a Tardiglacial European focus on reindeer that is still being debunked today. Costamagno and Laroulandie examined this issue by organizing a symposium at the XIVth UISPP Congress, held at the University of Liège, Belgium, from 2-8 September 2001, entitled Mode de vie au Magdalénien: apports de l’Archéozoologie. In 2003, they edited a volume of the same name (subtitled in English as Zooarchaeological Insights into Magdalenian Lifeways). The volume contains 11 papers, plus an introduction by Costamagno and Laroulandie. These papers focus tightly on the exploitation of animals found in Magdalenian archaeological assemblages, which were deposited between ca. 17,000 to 11,000 BP. However, the strength of the papers, and thereby the value of the volume, lies in their synthetic nature. Almost all of the papers bring together multiple assemblages from either a continental or regional scale. They cover western and central Europe, Germany, Switzerland, northern Spain, southern France, and the Paris Basin. This comparative approach is critical for understanding this dynamic period and human prehistory in general, and it increases the volume’s value, not in the least because of the extensive bibliographies contained within it.
