Azilian

Man do I take a chance when it is dictionary day.  I never know what I am going to have to look into.
Like today.  The word my finger fell on was “Azilian.”  The dictionary definition of the word is “the transitional period between the palacolithic and neolithicages in Europe.”
I had never heard of the word so I thought I would look up the net to see what it said.  That was when the cat was among the pigeons.  But I was looking up the wrong word.  It was missing a letter.
I did find a site that talked about the Azilian culture.  It said “This Southern European Epi-Palaeolithic (Late Palaeolithic) culture succeeded the Magdalenian in Spain and southern France, flanked to the east by the Epigravettian.  The Azilian was a much simplified form of the Magdalenian with nowhere near the richness of Magdalenian culture (especially its art). The latter's success seems to have been built on an abundance of food, allowing time for leisure…The Azilian existed in a region…in which resources seem to have been tougher to access. The more time which had to be spent on hunting and gathering, the less there was to spend on creating art.
Discovered by French archaeologist E Piette in 1887-1889, the culture was named after the Mas-d'Azil cave in the department of Ariège in southern France. It was found primarily on the territory of France and the then-'Federal Republic of Germany' (West Germany).” https://www.historyfiles.co.uk/KingListsEurope/CulturesAzilian.htm
I find all that stuff interesting though I am a bit sceptical of the conclusions reached.
Still I did find out about an obscure people group that seem to me to have been in a hard place.  It is no wonder to me they were absorbed into other cultures.  I reckon if I had the chance I would want to leave where they were too.
It may only be just after 6am but it is light outside and I feel the garden calling.
