The notion of “the age of the reindeer” that is applied to the Upper Palaeolithic in Europe certainly applies to the hunters of the Magdalenian steppe. As well as being a source of meat, reindeer hides and furs, carefully assembled using tendons, provided necessary protection, something confirmed by traceology and the marks left on flint tools and bones during the skins’ removal. Bones, like antlers, were used to make lots of tools, wood being very rare. Their decoration sometimes gave them symbolic importance, for example, reindeer teeth used as adornments.
