Abstract
Reindeer hunters’ settlements of the Paris Basin are studied in the light of the distinction drawn by L R Binford between ‘logistical collecting’ and ‘foraging’ as hunter-gatherer subsistence strategies. Particular reference is made to the sites of Pincevent and Verberie. The settlements themselves, in their location and layout, as well as in the artefacts found there, offer evidence relating to the hunting strategies that were used. The authors also consider various kinds of archaeological evidence relating to the processing of the hunted reindeer. Other resources important to the Magdalenian population are briefly studied, notably flint and shells, which were obtained locally.
