464 OSBOKN AND REEDS PREHISTORY OF MAX EN EUROPE 



Early Aurignacian. — In Tunis, in Typical tundra fauna, woolly mam- 



Dordogne (Abri Audit, Chatelper- moth and reindeer of cold-moist early 



ron), and in the Pyrenees, related to Postglacial times. No evidence of 



preceding Mousterian industry, in aridity, 

 part due to Neanderthal influence, in 

 part to Cro-Magnon invasion. 



The following geologic, archeologie. and paleontologic correlations of 

 the Pleistocene have been summarized in the table after Deperet and 

 Mayet. 



Deperet concludes : The arrival of Chellean man does not correspond 

 to lower Quaternary time, but dates solely from the Tyrrhenian Epoch of 

 the terrace of 30 meters. In the preceding epochs of Sicilian terraces 

 (90-100 meters) and of Milazzian terraces (55-60 meters) no industrial 

 or other evidence of the existence of man in Europe has thus far been 

 found, leaving aside the question of eoliths. The Chellean industry cor- 

 responds with the base of the 30-meter terrace. The Acheulean industry 

 occurs higher up on the 30-meter terrace. The Mousterian industry 

 occurs on the 18-20-meter terrace. The Aurignacian industry occurs in 

 the upper part of the 18-20-meter terrace. In the final Magdalenian 

 industry the valleys were nearly down to their actual present level.
