Magdalenian settlement systems and man/land relationships in South-west
Germany are reconstructed, using archaeological evidence and modern
ethnographic observation. Archaeological sites are divided into four size
categories, each with distinctive structural and artefactual records, and
assigned to different seasonal and functional uses in the annual subsistence
cycle. Hunting of reindeer and horse dominated and, in contrast to previous
theories of long-distance reindeer following, a territorial model of
land-use is proposed.
