Archaeology Dictionary:

Ahrensburgian


[CP]

An early post-glacial culture of north Germany and the Low Countries dating to the period around 8500 bc. The stone-tool industries include scrapers, burins, and tanged points probably used as arrow tips. More than 50 wooden arrow shafts of this culture were found at the type-site of Ahrensburg near Hamburg in Schleswig-Holstein, together with clubs that were possibly used in hunting reindeer.
