The Solutrean sequence gives way to Western Europe’s so-called Magdalenian tool industry, named for the site in southwestern France where associated artifacts date from approximately 15,000 BCE to 7,500 BCE.

The Magdalenian sequence, the final industry of the Pleistocene Epoch, shows an increasing standardization of tool types in both stone and bone.

The Lower Magdalenian segment coincides with the latter half of the Wurm III glacial stadial, ending around 13,000 BCE.

Multibarbed harpoons, fashioned of antler, are the basic implements of the Upper Magdalenian sequence.
