Azylium

• asylum
• Azilian: a name given by archaeologists to an industry of the Epipaleolithic in northern Spain and southern France. It probably dates to the period around 12,000 years ago and followed the Magdalenian culture. Archaeologists think the Azilian represents the tail end of the Magdalenian as the warming climate brought about changes in human behaviour in the area. The effects of melting ice sheets would have diminished the food supply and probably impoverished the previously well-fed Magdalenian manufacturers.
