Las tradiciones tecno-culturales del Tardiglaciar en Europa occidental, o cómo enfrentar la transición al Holoceno
Résumé
By means of a revision of some reinterpretations of the spatial structuration of living floors and the regional mobility-systems of some final Pleistocene hunters of Western Europe, as well as of some recent discoveries of portable art – which suggest a continuity of the classical canons of Magdalenian art – it is argued: 1) that these “transitional” traditions – specially the Azilian – do not represent the decadence of the great Paleolithic civilizations at the mercy of the environmental crisis that gave birth to the Holocene, on the contrary 2) they must be understood as techno-cultural innovations created to cope with it, 3) in a way that allowed to preserve an economic-system based on foraging without the creation of a predatory dynamic that fostered the negative consequences of climate change.
In the end, this example of techno-cultural innovation can serve as an inspiration for actions to cope with the environmental crisis of the XXIst century.
