Text Appearing Before Image:
ng scarcity or absence of the reindeer,which had been abundant in the dry, cold climate of Magdaleniantimes, the Azilians (Fig. 36) were forced to fashion their harpoons out ofstag antlers. Unlike their predecessors, they did not make beautiful en-gravings and sculptures of animals on bone or draw realistic animalpictures on the walls of caves, while they differed from their successorsof the Xew Stone Age in that they had no pottery nor domesticatedanimals. The final stage of the Transitional Period is that known as theCampignian, from the discovery of remains of huts and flint imple-ments near Campigny in France. These implements include axes andadzes fitted for felling trees and building boats. Milling stones indi-cate an early stage of agriculture. Crude pottery also indicates thecoming of the Xew Stone Age. FIG. 31.
