Tardenoisian
The Tardenoisian is an archaeological culture of the Mesolithic period from north-western France and Belgium. Similar cultures are known further east in central Europe (late mesolithic) and west across Spain.
Characteristic artefacts include trapezoid, chisel-ended arrowheads and small flint blades made by the pressure-technique.
The Tardenoisian is contemporaneous with the Sauveterrian and lasted from about 6500 BC until the Neolithic.
