The Creswellian is a British Upper Palaeolithic culture named after the type site of Creswell Crags in Derbyshire by Dorothy Garrod in 1926. It is also known as the British Late Magdalenian. The Creswellian is dated between 13,000–11,800 BP and was followed by the most recent ice age, the Younger Dryas, when Britain was at times unoccupied by humans. ==History== The term Creswellian appeared for the first time in 1926 in Dorothy Garrod's ''The Upper Palaeolithic Age in Britain''. This was the first academic publication〔 Kathryn Price (« One vision, one faith, one woman: Dorothy Garrod and the Crystallisation of Prehistory » ), in ''Great Prehistorians: 150 Years of Palaeolithic Research, 1859-2009'', London, Lythic Studies Society, 2009, p. 141-142. 〕 by the woman who became in 1939 the first woman ever elected as a professor at Cambridge.〔 Pamela Jane Smith, (« From ‘small, dark and alive’ to ‘cripplingly shy’: Dorothy Garrod as the first woman Professor at Cambridge » ), University of Cambridge, 2005. Accessed 6 juin 2011. 〕 It is also the first monograph about the Upper Paleolithic of Britain at the national level and it remained the only one on the subject for half a century. Garrod suggested that the British variant of the Magdalenian industry is different enough to create a specific name:〔 The definition of Creswellian was refined since then and now refers exclusively, in the British context, to the Late Magdalenian-style industry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Creswellian culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
