Activity 2: Prehistoric museum

Prehistoric Europe was marked by several waves of immigration from Africa and the Near East. They were the origin of our humanity as much as our world of agriculture ans its industrialisation. Technological advancement really got started after the arrival of Homo sapiens around 40.000 years ago and accelerated with the change to a Neolithic lifestyle between 7.000 and 5.000 BC. The work of the masters flint-Knappers of GRAND -PRESSIGNY, who are relative newcomers on this timescale (about 3.000-2.400BC), represents THE LAST MAJOR FLINTWORKING TRADITION IN EUROPE.
