Unreferenced date August 2009 P rigordian is a term for several distinct but related Upper Upper Palaeolithic archaeological culture cultures which are thought by some archaeologists to represent a contiguous tradition . It existed between c.35,000 BP and c.20,000 BP. The earliest culture in the tradition is known as the Ch telperronian which produced denticulate tool s and distinctive flint knives. It is argued that this was superseded by the Gravettian with its Font Robert points and Noailles burin s. The tradition culminated in the proto Magdalenian . Critics have pointed out that no continuous sequence of P rigordian occupation has yet been found and that the tradition requires it to have co existed separately from the Aurignacian industry rather than being differing industries that existed before and afterwards.

In this sense, a core is the scarred nucleus resulting from the detachment of one or more lithic flake flake s from a lump of source material or tool stone , usually by using a hard hammer percussor such as a hammerstone . The core is marked with the negative scars of these flakes. The surface area of the core which received the blows necessary for detaching the flakes is referred to as the striking platform. The core may be discarded or shaped further into a core tool , such as can be seen in some types of handaxe . Image Nucleo en la mano.jpg thumb left upright 0.7 A flint lithic core for Blade archaeology blades , found near the cave of La Vi a Asturias , Spain The purpose of lithic reduction may be to rough out a blank for later refinement into a projectile point , knife , or other stone tool , or it may be performed in order to obtain sharp lithic flake flake s, from which a variety of simple tools can be made. Generally, the presence of a core is indicative of the latter process, since the former process usually leaves no core. Cores may be subdivided into specific types by a lithic analyst. Type frequencies, as well as the general types of materials at an archaeological site , can give the lithic analyst a better understanding of the lithic reduction processes occurring at that site. Lithic Cores may be multidirectional, conical, cylindrical, biconical, or bifacial.

It is the home of one of the few pre historic art prehistoric cave painting sites in France which remain open to the general public. Extending for more than a mile from the entrance are caverns the walls of which are painted with dramatic murals dating from the Gravettian culture some 25,000 years B.C. Some of the paintings and engravings, however, could date from the later Magdalenian era 16,000 years B.C. This area once had a great river flowing through it, cutting underground channels which were later used by humans for shelter and eventually for mural painting. The walls of seven of the chambers at Pech Merle have fresh, lifelike images of a woolly mammoth http www.donsmaps.com images3 mammothpechmerle.jpg , spotted horses http www.judeart.com Dscn0017.jpg , single colour horses, bovids, reindeer, handprints, and some humans. Footprints of children, preserved in what was once clay, have been found more than half a mile underground. Within a six mile radius of the site are ten other caves with prehistoric paleolithic art art of the Upper Palaeolithic period, but none of these are open to the public. During the Ice Age the caves were very probably used as places of refuge by prehistoric peoples when the area had an Arctic climate, very cold temperatures, and native animal species very different from those of the present day. It is supposed that, at some point in the past, rain and sliding earth covered the cave entrances providing an airtight seal until the 20th century. The cave at Pech Merle has been open to the public since 1926. Visiting groups are limited in size and number so as not to destroy the delicate artwork with the excessive humidity, heat and carbon dioxide produced by breathing.
