The Federmesser culture is a toolmaking tradition of the late Upper Palaeolithic era, of the Northern European Plain dating to between c. 9800 and 8800 BC (uncalibrated). It is closely related to the Tjongerian culture, as both have been suggested[1] as being derived from the more generalized Azilian culture.
It used small backed flint blades and shares characteristics with the Creswellian culture in Britain.
