Magdalenian? edit
This "Nebra Venus" is the closest I can get to "four Magdalenian figurines": [[1]]
Translated from http://nebra-06642.de/de/venus.htm:
Altenberg is a city in Thuringia in eastern Germany, about 25 miles south of Dresden near the Czech border. The site of Altenburg in the Stone Age was a particularly favorable place to settle. Excavations have uncovered a settlement of the Magdalenian hunters (about 17 000 BP). The tent-like dwelling was visited repeatedly over a number of summers. Floor plans and post holes of residential buildings have been identified.
The most well known is the "Venus of Nebra", a sculpture in ivory approximately 7 cm high. Bones of wild horses, reindeer, hare, grouse, flint artefacts, burins and knives have been discovered. This field settlement has been known since 1940 and was systematically excavated in 1962 and 1969. Overall, the digs provided about 2250 tools and 10 000 flint waste fragments.
And of course they quote this article as well.
