reindeer period

Anthrop.: The English equivalent of Lartet's âge du renne. "But now comes the great question: When was the Reindeer- period in Southern France? and what is its antiquity? It is far easier to indicate its place in the series of observed facts in relation to ancient man, than to a ign to it any definite antiquity of years. Geologically, a wide gulf separates it from the Drift-period but, on the other hand, it will seem, both from the palæontological and archæological bearings, to be of higher antiquity than the Kjökkenmöddings of Denmark and the Lacustrine Dwellings of Switzerland, and very certainly than the whole group of so called Celtic and Cromlech remains."- Lartet & Christy: Reliquiæ Aqui tanice (ed.
