The Magosien indicated in the past a lithic Industrie prehistoric of Southern Africa and Eastern.
The term “Magosien” was introduced in 1926 in reference to the industry of the archeological site of Magosi in Uganda. This industry gathered parts with final improvement bifaciale, Nucléus Levallois and Microlithe S. She was interpreted like an industry marking the transition between the Paléolithique means ( Middle Stone Age ) and the Paléolithique superior ( Late Stone Age ). However, of new research showed that the industry of Magosi corresponded to a mixture of vestiges coming from two distinct levels. The term, into its meaning first, thus fell in disuse.
It is sometimes still employed to indicate industries of transition to blades and microlithes going back to 14 to 8.000 years BP.
In 1953, J. Desmond Clark identified an industry magosienne with the Kalambo Falls, the current border between the Zambia and the Tanzania.
