The Tardenoisian is contemporaneous with the Sauveterrian and
lasted from about 6500 BC until the Neolithic.

Try "tardenoisien"

You are free to inform and correct Wikipedia.

If you write something, which you want others to understand, it helps a lot
if you use the correct spelling.


So basically your arguement is full of crap.

Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?
What argument are you talking about?

Your pedantic concern about iberia not being part of the west.

The Sauveterrain culture is contiguous between italy and spain,
and probably reflects the genetic similarities between the
basque and tuscans and as a source for basque nodal alleles in
the french.

Italy and Spain are Southern Europe, while you
say Western Europe in your title. That is not an
argument, that's a fact. Who is full of crap here?

You, sauveterrian cultures are part of the Western Mesolithic.
Genetically the iberian population is contiguous and shows strong
genetic relationships with NW europe and N europe. Not only in the
paleolithic but also in the holocene.

And instead of being pedantic like you typically are you
should
have been able to dig up numerous mentions, above fish

Did I mention fish?

You should have noted the contrast.

Hey, I only said Spain is in the south!

SW is part of the S and part of the W.

things like deer, pigs, horses that appeared
with some of these cultures and comparing with the eastern
iberian culture with a high percentage of land mammal meat in
their diet would invite a contrast between the culture that
centered on s. france and a transitional culture in northern
france, and a nut/fish directed culture in the Ilses.
[...]
Harpoons indicating fish or sea mammal activities.

No, it's a kind of spearhead with one or two rows of barbs. In the younger
paleolithic it was used for big game hunting. So as a tool in itself it
doesn't say anything about the game hunted with it.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauveterrian
"
The Sauveterrian is the name for an archaeological culture of
the European Mesolithic which flourished around 7000-8000 years
BC. The name is derived from the type site of Sauveterre le
Lémance in the French departement of Lot et Garonne.

Try "sauveterien"

Try, again, throwing your corrections at wikipedia. You see
what TinyUrl does to your mind, you've even forgot how to
parse a Url.

Using a name with a wrong spelling can happen, insisting it is the right
spelling without checking is a bit foolish. Have you never heard people
mention, that they are not glad with wikipedia being treated as a scientific
source, because of the many faults?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglemosian
"
Maglemosian (ca 7500 BC- ca 6000 BC) is the name given to a
culture of the early Mesolithic period in Northern Europe. In
Scandinavia, the culture is succeeded by the Kongemose culture.

Try "Maglemose"

Pedantic, see above.

Yeah, see above. Do you really learn no foreign languages in the US?

[...]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongemose_culture
"
The main economy was based on hunting red deer, roe deer and
wild boar, supplemented by fishing at the coastal settlements.
"
IOW it appears that hunting red, roe deer and boar replaced a
more pescavoric culture that moved in from northern france.

No people utilised the food sources they had on hand. There are only a few
sites that have a good enough organic preservation to have preserved fish
bones for analyses. Compare the distribution of fishing hooks, nets etc. to
find out about where and when food was taken from the water.

It shouldn't be a surprise that coastal settlements utilised more marine
food sources than inland sites.
