The
Abri de la Madeleine (The Magdalene shelter) is a prehistoric shelter under an overhanging cliff situated near
Tursac, in the
Dordogne département and the
Aquitaine Région of South-Western France. The
Magdalenian culture of the
Upper Paleolithic is named after it, as the
type site. Prehistoric finds from the site include the
Bison Licking Insect Bite, a carving estimated
20,000 BC. The shelter was reoccupied during the
Middle Ages. The medieval castle of Petit Marsac stands on the top of the cliff just above the shelter.
