The Magdalenian Culture was a prehistoric culture that existed in Europe during the Upper Paleolithic period, approximately 17,000 to 12,000 years ago. It is primarily associated with the Magdalenian people, who were skilled hunters and gatherers. They are known for their advanced tool-making techniques, using materials like flint and bone to create tools for hunting and daily life. Art is a significant aspect of the Magdalenian Culture, with remarkable cave paintings found in sites such as Lascaux and Altamira. These artworks often depict animals like bison and horses, showcasing the culture's deep connection to their environment and the importance of hunting in their survival.
