The Tardenoisian (or Beuronian) is an archaeological culture of the Epipaleolithic period from northern France and Belgium. Similar cultures are known further east in central Europe, parts of Britain.[1] and west across Spain.

Characteristic artifacts include trapezoid, chisel-ended arrowheads and small flint blades made by the pressure-technique.

The Tardenoisian followed the Sauveterrian, with which it was paralleled, and lasted from about 7000 BC until the Neolithic.
