Aurignacian culture
The Aurignacian culture is a prehistoric period associated with early modern humans in Europe, dating from approximately 43,000 to 26,000 years ago. It is characterized by advanced stone tools, including blades and burins, which were used for various tasks such as hunting and crafting. This culture is also known for its artistic expressions, including cave paintings and carvings, which provide insight into the lives and beliefs of these early people.
Aurignacian people were skilled hunters and gatherers, often relying on large game such as mammoths and reindeer. They created personal ornaments and used materials like ivory and bone to make tools and art. The Aurignacian culture represents a significant development in human creativity and social organization during the Upper Paleolithic era.
