Ahrensburg culture

The Ahrensburg culture or Ahrensburgian (c. 12,900 to 11,700 BP) was a late Upper Paleolithic nomadic hunter culture (or technocomplex) in north-central Europe during the Younger Dryas, the last spell of cold at the end of the Weichsel glaciation resulting in deforestation and the formation of a tundra with bushy arctic white birch and rowan. Maglemosian culture and Ahrensburg culture are archaeological cultures in Belgium, archaeological cultures in Denmark, archaeological cultures in England, archaeological cultures in Germany, archaeological cultures in Poland, archaeological cultures in the Netherlands, archaeological cultures of Europe and Nordic Stone Age.
